One might claim Sephiroth's hair is perfection at its finest. But, I refute! Jimmy Neutron's is the peak hairstyle we all strive for, with all of its towering, soft-served glory. In fact, every character in existence should have Jimmy Neutron hair. Why it hasn't been decreed in law already has me truly baffled and outraged.

The reason why is actually pretty simple. We are not capable to sustain such perfect hair, for we lack the intelligence to do so, which also applies to most characters out there.

Finn's hair from adventure time is pretty iconic, you barely see it then its blonde and long. When he cuts it it changes as length each episode and it ties in with his mother's hair as well. Those deep moments when he climbs out the water with his wet blonde hair thinking about his life.

As you mentioned before, the Splatoon Inklings have really great "hair". It extends naturally from their squid designs and helps accentuate their movements!

I really like the way hair is done in The Clone Wars. The stylised shape and the way it was coloured was just really aesthetically appealing to me. Also, I was just thinking yesterday that I needed to learn more about drawing hair, specifically - as you even say in the video - how to attach it to the head, so the timing of this video is really fortuitous. I especially appreciated the inclusion of the position/shape diagrams you included, those were really informative.

Right! I love the entirety of Count Dooku's character design in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, specifically. In the prequel movies, he looks like an old man, but the Clone Wars series gives his character design a much more regal bearing. He is a Count, after all. I'm not even a fan of the character itself, but I have long felt that the way that The Clone Wars captures that element of Count Dooku was masterfully done.

I think another thing people can forget is that both men and women can have unconventional lengths when it comes to hair, and it helps a character stick out a little more. For example, male characters with long hair and female characters with short or little to none. Just hair length alone can communicate a lot about a character!

As someone with wavy/curly hair, you do actually just do the finger thing to style your hair, along with some "scrunching" (Literally just squeeze the hair together). You're likely having hair stylists use the wrong product in your hair actually, as if they use something too stiff (which a barber is likely to do) it won't allow the hair to flow naturally. Straight up, I just march my fat hairy ass into proper hair salons now like I was a girl getting ready for prom or something, cause they actually understand wave and curl a LOT better than basically anyone else.

I think Mr. Spock has some of the most iconic hair in all of science fiction. Try putting that hair style in any other character and people will still associate it with Spock. Wolverine is another character with an iconic hairstyle, even though that style didn’t originate with him. However, it’s one of those hairstyles that very quickly reveals whether the artist drawing him understands how human hair works or not.

hair silhouette is something I consider myself to be pretty well-developed into my drawing skills by now with how much I've focused on Character designing (instead of other things needed for a comic as well >_>'); even if I keep reiterating, refining, strengthening and working up the hair styles I've made. However, the aspect I feel you glossed over more, "lighting" and "shadows" in hair... OOF! that's the hard part for me to still work out well.

The hair stages we all go through 1. Spiky and stiff No artist can deny it, when we first drew hair, it was spiky and very stiff 2. Scribbles To try to get out of our super spiky hair, we use the (messy) scribble method to try and avoid it. And while this works later on, we don’t *really* know how to do it at this level, so it’s just a mess 3. Big and/or funky shapes If you are an anime fan, bonus points 😂 This one it pretty Self Explanatory 4. Loose and flow(y) This is when it starts to come together and from here, people split into the styles they typically choose. 5. Experienced There is no way I can identify this stage, because at this point, you’ve been drawing for at least 3-5 years, you have a lot of experience and can finally make anything you do with hair pretty good. Congratulations, there’s more levels since art improvement never ends :D

The best advice I can give is to literally go to a place where there’s enough people (not too much, so that you can’t tell people apart), schools, work, or a moderately busy store are all great places, and take inspiration from their hair. This one kid in my middle school (African American) had this great cornrow Mohawk, and most of my partially curly hair designs came from kids in high school, and people walking on the street.

I HAVE TO MENTION LEGO NINJAGO The main four characters have elemental powers: Fire, Earth, Ice, and Lightning. Fire guy has spiky anime type hair that looks like a campfire, and the most vain personality. You KNOW he maintains those spikes, they're not natural. Earth guy is the most "steady" personality, he has a mop of hair like the cool older brother type. Which also looks blocky and is black-and his name is Cole. So his hair looks like his earth pun name while fitting his personality perfectly. Ice guy is the weird one and has a tall blond crew cut, so basically an ice cube shaped hair and straight lines for a stiff personality. Lightning is the silly one of the group and has the classic brown short hair of a nerd. At first it doesn't look "electric" but if you look closely his bangs are a zigzag pattern. It fits great because his personality is less explosive lightning and more "fun excitable electricity". He could be a Pikachu-cute and cuddly but also able to zap monsters out of the sky. I consider Ninjago to be the height of punny character design.

My biggest struggle with hair is my most fleshed out characters are anthropomorphic animals with nothing but bangs basically. The fur is usually a uniform texture (but I am expanding the palette there) and those limitations often lead to repetitive designs, especially when I try to keep things more simple and not... overdesigned anime.

I love the hairstyles in haikyuu, particularly bokuto, kuroo and Kenna’s! Bokuto is obviously referencing the great horned owl, but it’s also spiked up and opens up his face-indicating his character as a very open and outgoing person who wears their heart on their sleeve. No hair obscuring his expressions. Kuroo hair is covering his eye because he’s a bit more of a shady character, so his expressions are partially hidden, and Kenna’s hair expresses his desire to fit in with the dye, but he also obscures part of his face because he’s very shy 🙈 I think these designs were well though out in furudate part

OK I'm so glad you have one of these videos because I'm trying to draw my characters but I can't figure out how to draw hair that fits them TnT I think you'll be pleased to hear that you're the first person I thought to look for when I needed help! :D I think Jaiden Animations' character has the best hair! :D

i think braids can happen in the apocalypse after the towns have been rebuilt with zombies outside the borders. people will probably enjoy doing hair and styling while not on patrol! You gotta do something else besides decorating your zombie slaying *chainsaws* !!!!

I always liked Storm's mohawk back in the day. Can't put my finger on why exactly, it SHOULDN'T fit, she seems almost godlike and mohawks normally don't give those vibes. But it seems to work. I honestly think it would be better if they didn't change the whole costume, where it was still the same white superhero outfit with the only change being the hair.

Drawing unfortunately is no longer my main art form anymore. But any time I draw out characters I’m writing I just start improving and see what sticks

The character with the most iconic hair would definitely have to be Sonic the Hedgehog. (SIT DOWN DBZ FANS!) A character with one of my favorite hairstyles would have to be Tiz Arrior from Bravely Default II. I love how he has this messy permanent hair stick up that parts to one side. His hair was an inspiration I used for one of my characters.

I think that Travis Touchdown from no more heroes has cool hair. It gives him this kinda punk vibe to him, especially compared to Henry Cooldown whose hair is more tidy and kept and stuff

I don't like drawing ears because they are either barely noticeable or too unsubtle. To avoid drawing ears as much as possible, I tend to draw my characters with larger hair. I also try to make the hair have a specific shape that applies to the character, like how the protagonist of my comics has hexagons as his main shape (since hexagons are a symbol of divinity as well as of technological advancement, both of which apply to a megalomaniac engineer), so his hair has shapes that are very controlled and blocky but at the same time very sharp and smooth, as if to say "I've chugged thirteen cans of Red Bull in the span of two minutes and also I went to Yale." He's a highly intelligent and wildly chaotic individual, and thus his hair reflects this. The three deuterogonists, Marley, Luca, and Anya, all also follow this shape/hair scheme. Marley has a very round hairstyle with some jagged lines here and there to indicate that she's a sweet, innocent lady with a sense of discord to her, as though something is not quite right with her mentally. Luca has a very sharp, triangular haircut which indicates speed and power, but all of the triangular shapes point downward to indicate his relaxed, cool nature. Anya's hair is quite square with spikes jutting out in a sort of buzzsaw blade motion, indicating that she's physically strong and quite fierce and active

might be a little biased since i literally love the promised neverland, but the 3 main characters have pretty recognisable hairstyles and i think they’re done really well
