Before drawing Anime / Manga hair, determine the hair style and physical properties of the hair that you want to draw.
TIP: Before beginning to draw Anime / Manga hair, it is always a good idea to reference old and modern hair style fashion trends. This is something that is beneficial to all character designers / artists.
First, define the type of hair that you want to draw. Is the hair stiff or soft. Soft hair tends to drop while stiff hair tends to grow upwards.
Above is an example on how Anime / Manga hair should behave when it comes to the directions of the hair.
There are other factors affecting the hair and its appearance, such as gravity, air, movement and style. Implementing these properly can give a dramatic effect to your character’s hair.
Here is an effective approach for drawing Anime / Manga hair. This method makes the hair construction easier.
It is always easier to start drawing the hair from a basic shape. Start by drawing a solid mass closest to the shape of the hair. Don’t pay much attention to details. First just focus on the basic simple foundation and form. Think of the hair as a solid mass.
Begin adding details to the hair by utilizing the solid mass as an guideline. Begin adding the thick and thin Anime / Manga hair strands.
Erase the guidelines and retrace your final outline.
Here is another example of how to draw Anime / Manga hair on a character’s head.
