DRAWING MANGA BOYS
A traditional feudal-era style, this pageboy cut would be suitable for stories set in a
bygone age. It’s feminine by today’s standards but very much a male cut in its own
time. The highlights on the main hair body and the part give a healthy-looking sheen.PAgE bOY w IT h bAN gS
Draw a basic head with
eyes, nose, mouth, and
one ear. Starting from
the ear, draw a line up
and across the head,
just above eye level.
Continue it out beyond
the line of the head.From where you fin-
ished, draw the profile
of the hairstyle, making
it high and smooth.
Take it down below the
ear, and smooth into
the neck. Add a similar
piece on the right.Next, chop the bangs
into thick, fairly even
chunks. Then outline
a highlight across the
top of the head. Make
some of the highlight
cut across the bangs.Ink around the basic shape of
the hairstyle, then ink around
the highlight. Where this cuts
across the bangs, do not ink so
that the gaps remain in the bangs. Add a
couple of inked lines in the highlight.
Finally, working
around the out-
lined highlight
and creating
another one on the
right of the part,
color the hair black.
