Book Description
Anime hair is drawn using thick, marked sections rather than individual strands. This can result in spiky, variable-looking hair, or hair that appears smooth and straight. Drawing anime hair may seem complicated at first, but by parting the hair into different sections and working one step at a time, it is quite simple! Before you begin, decide if you want to draw short or long anime hair since the process is a little different depending on the length. Hair is a bit of a tedious element, because it is like a substance that can take many forms. That is why manga artists have developed a special method to simplify hair. In manga or anime, you can draw hair as a mass or weave. This way you can draw it very quickly, with an exaggerated shading that covers up the lack of detail. In this tutorial I will teach you how to draw various manga hair styles: straight hair, wavy hair, with pigtails and short hair. I will also explain the method it is based on, so that you can draw your own anime hairstyles from scratch.
