How to Draw a Manga Face - Draw the Hairline

P Stone, licensed to About.com, Inc.
We’re almost done with the head -just one more thing to add, and that’s the hair. The first step to adding hair is drawing the hair line. Keep it simple for now until you get more experienced. If you get too complicated, it won’t look correct.

It will help you to look at hairlines of real people; you may even want to print out several pictures of people’s faces, to draw clean lines where their hairlines are. By doing this, you will get a good grasp of how hairlines should look.

After you’re happy with a hairline, draw a guideline where the hair will part. This will make it easier to give structure to more complex hair styles and make them look good.
