How To Draw Anime Girl Short Hair
This tutorial illustrates how to draw anime and manga hair with twelve step by step drawings of mutual anime and manga hairstyles for a female character.
Cartoon Anime & Manga Pilus
Anime hair is often based on real hairstyles but tends to be drawn in clumps rather than individual strands. One good reason for this is that if you are drawing multiple frames of animation or multiple panels of a manga it volition simply be too time consuming to depict annihilation overly detailed.

Drawing Long Anime Hair
Long straight hair is probably one of the most common hairstyles in anime and is fairly piece of cake to depict.
In a higher place you tin meet the breakdown of the long hair drawing example into:
- Cerise – Front Pilus
- Green – Side Hair
- Bluish – Back/Top Hair
You lot tin employ a similar breakdown to drawing other hairstyles besides. Thinking of the pilus this way can make the drawing process a lot easier to manage.
Keeping this in mind we tin motion on to the actual drawing process.
Step 1
Start by first making a drawing of the head and an indication of the hairline. While in this detail hairstyle the hairline is less important every bit it's full covered by the hair it can still help you better estimate the overall length and position of the front end and side pilus sections. Brand the caput/hairline drawing fairly light so you can easily erase parts of it later.
Stride 2
Depict the hair right over the top of the head and hairline as in the example above.
For this particular hairstyle where the front section of the hair has been cut fairly short yous can describe it in relatively small pointy clumps.
Brand the "side pilus" adequately long with it's overall shape slightly curved. You tin too split it into several smaller clumps towards the ends.
Depict the top part o the "back pilus" pretty much following the shape of the head (a bit of a distance away from information technology) and and then widening until it'due south finally hidden behind the shoulders.
Stride 3
Erase the parts of the head hidden by the hair and add a few lines to bear witness the inner folds of the forepart and back hair. You volition generally want to position these folds in between the hair clumps as that is where these volition usually tend to course in existent hair.
Step 4
Next add some folds in the "back hair" to requite a chip more than definition of it's shape as well and then that it does not just look like a flat cutting out.
You can besides add some basic shading to make the hair stand out a niggling bit more one time you finish the line cartoon.
Drawing Brusque Anime Hair
The short hair drawing case above is fairly similar to the long hair with the hair once over again broken down into three bones parts of front end, sides and dorsum.
The actual breakup of the drawing process can be as follows:
Step 1
Again start the short hair drawing with the caput and hairline. Same as the previous case the hairline will not be as of import here equally it is in other hair styles merely can nevertheless be helpful.
Footstep 2
Yet once again very similar to the long pilus describe the "front hair" section with a set of modest clumps. For this particular case the hair volition be a bit more messy so the clumps will curve more in different directions. If you want neater looking hair you can draw them the aforementioned every bit the get-go example.
Stride 3
Aforementioned every bit before erase any parts of the head hidden by the hair and draw the bottom portion of the back pilus. Generally information technology's a good idea to get out this section of the pilus for the last part of the line drawing as in the front view of the caput it will be in the back backside near of the other parts of the hair. If you try and draw it outset you without the other pilus to sort of "frame" its position you will probably terminate up with some overlapping lines and have to do extra erasing.
Footstep 4
Add the inner fords (just i in this example) and if y'all like, some basic shading.
Drawing Trimmed Anime Pilus (Hime Cut)
For trimmed hair draw the pilus clump with apartment ends that await like they've been cutting off past sissors.
For a great wait the dissimilar hair clumps should more often than not be drawn pointing in the same direction every bit the clumps side by side to them and whatever shifts in direction should exist gradual.
Step 1
Start by drawing the hair and indicating the hairline. For the "Hime Cut" the hairline will again exist covered by the pilus.
Step 2
For the initial drawing of the bodily hair you tin can start with the sides followed by the dorsum. You can indicate the front end section of the hair with just ane line.
Step three
Now draw in some small splits into the front and side parts of of the hair to make them look more natural. Erase the line in between the splits when you are done. You can also erase any parts of the head that are covered past the hair.
Step four
Finally again similar to the first instance add some lines to the hair in the back to evidence it'south various inner folds. Effort and describe these with fairly random spacing and slightly varying curves. If yous space everything evenly and brand all the curves trace one another as well closely the hair volition not look very natural.
Drawing Long Messy Anime Pilus
The long messy hair is somewhat like to the commencement example only with some extra hair clumps. Once again it can be divided upwards into 3 parts like all the other examples so far.
Draw the long messy pilus as follows:
Step 1
As the other examples commencement past outset drawing the head and hairline. Drawing the hairline will help you lot make sure that none of the splits between the hair clumps for the "front hair" become too far up.
Pace two
To make the hair look more messy draw the forepart hair clumps pointing into different directions and of varying shapes and curves. Yous tin draw some that are wavy and some that juts curve in one direction.
Draw the very middle portion of these clumps reaching further down. You can do the same with the outer clumps on the sides of the front end section. This will again give more than of an impression of pilus that has not been well groomed.
Step 3
At present draw in some additional pilus clumps randomly sticking out of the back sections of the pilus. This volition make the otherwise neat looking dorsum hair look messy every bit well. Yous can also add a pair (or more) clumps to the inner parts of the "side hair". You tin can either erase the outlines of the hair where you want to draw these or add them and erase the overlapping outline afterwards. Adjacent y'all tin add in some divide lines in betwixt the hair clumps same as some of the other examples. To finish the line drawing again erase the parts of the confront and head that are covered by the pilus later.
Stride iv
Equally this example also has long back hair you lot can again depict in some of it'southward inner folds to make that section wait more than like actual pilus. You can as well brand them a bit more wavy than the other examples to over again make the pilus look more messy.
Drawing Anime Pony Tail /Tied Back Hair
Another fairly mutual anime hairstyle is the ponytail. You will notice that there is basically no side pilus in this particular example (other than the tiny bits of the hairline on the sides). So the hair tin pretty much simply be splits into the front and back sections. The back consisting of the hair over the top of the head and the pony tail.
Draw this type of pilus as follows:
Step 1
Draw the caput and point the hairline which for this hairstyle is slightly more of import than the previous examples as some of it will be visible in the final drawing as already shown.
Stride 2
You can pretty much frame the front hair for this hairstyle with but three curves. 2 for the sides and ane for the bottom. As mentioned at that place is very little side hair in this example every bit the hair is pulled back revealing parts of the hairline.
Draw the back hair just slightly over top of the head somewhen merging into the sides.
Though usually pony tails will face directly backwards for anime hair you lot can draw it slightly more to one side so that it's shape is more than visible. Otherwise the pony tail can just look like a bump on the head. Y'all tin describe the pony tail with a sort of question marker like shape. You can also add a small split up at the end.
Step 3
Same as for the "Hime Cut" draw in some small splits into the front end section of the pilus and erase parts of the bottom line of the "front end hair" to make spaces in between them. Also erase the parts of the caput subconscious past the hair.
Step 4
You can once more give the hair some light shading if yous similar. You lot can also optionally draw in a few more lines into the hair to get in wait a piffling more separate up than the "Hime Cut" which tends to have more dumbo "forepart pilus".
Drawing Anime Hair Over One Eye
For the hairstyle with hair over one eye yous can notwithstanding again divide the hair into the front, sides and dorsum. In this style the forepart section of the hair will be fairly large and sort of merge into the "side pilus" next to the covered centre.
Pace 1
Draw the head and the hairline same as the other examples.
Step 2
For this particular hairstyle draw the front hair clumps going far enough down the face to fully cover ane eye. For the "side hair" you tin can draw the section on the side of the covered eye somewhat blending into the forepart pilus.
Depict the back hair split into tow curves that pretty much hug the shape of the head as they get down eventually sticking out in clumps to each side.
Footstep 3
For the very bottom department of the front hair describe a few small clumps sticking out around the top of the neck expanse. Erase any overlapping lines from the caput that should exist subconscious by the hair when you are done.
Stride 4
To wrap up the drawing you can again add a few lines to show some splits and curves of the hair going from between the hair clumps.
Drawing Anime Pigtails

Same equally the ponytail case you tin can see that this particular cartoon can pretty much be broken downwardly into the forepart and dorsum section of the hair. With the "back hair" separate into the hair covering the head and the pigtails. There are really only tiny $.25 of actual "side hair".
Stride one
Draw the head and the hairline. In this example a large section of the hairline will be visible in the terminal drawing. Information technology will also assistance us place the front department of the hair.
Step 2
Though most of the pilus in this particular case volition be pulled back y'all tin can draw some clumps for the front section of the pilus to just one side to make the hairstyle look a little bit more than interesting.
As already mentioned in that location will pretty much be no side hair other than the tiny bits around the height of the ears. Draw the peak/back section of the hair blending into that side hair.
For the actual pigtails depict them similar to the "Ponytail" example vaguely resembling two questions marks in their overall shape with one being flipped over.
Step 3
Now add some random hair clumps sticking out from the pigtails to make them await a little more interesting and erase any overlapping lines that this creates. Also erase the outline of the head where it'due south subconscious by the hair.
Step 4
Add together a few more lines to indicate some folds in the hair to the pigtails and optionally some shading.
Drawing Neatly Combed Anime Hair
This hairstyle can once more be carve up into three parts with the front, side and back hair. The front section of the hair nevertheless is a trivial different from the previous examples.
Pace one

Step ii
Describe the side sections of the hair with steady cures somewhat hugging the shape of the confront. Roughly from the middle of the hairline draw ii curves going downward towards the "side hair".
This will exist the "front hair" tucked underneath the sides which will be combed down over top of it. Describe the back hair with a adequately obvious split in the middle with two curves going in each direction. This volition help evidence that the hair has sort of been neatly combed to each side.
Step iii
Add together some minor hair clumps for the lesser background hair.

The "side hair in this example will be completely curled. You tin first depict some lines at the base of the curves to indicate the volume of the pilus that will and then transition into the sort of "spires" of hair below.
To draw the actual curls outset draw the parts of them that are in the foreground. You tin can sort of retrieve of them equally a cone that's been sliced on an angle and pulled apart.
Pace three
Now erase any parts of the head hidden by the pilus to avert confusion and add together the background lines of the hair curls. Yous tin can recollect of these as the front parts filled over.
Finally you lot tin can draw some splits at the stop of each curl.
Footstep 4
For the concluding pace y'all can describe a piddling squiggle of hair hanging down from the middle of the forepart section and add some lines to the bottom of the groundwork hair to indicate some inner folds. Make these lines more wavy than in the previous examples to show that the pilus is curly.
