Jak narysować włosy (manga) [ENG].pdf

Depending on the style, anime hair can be very complex. However,

if you break it down into its basic components, the process of

drawing anime hair becomes a little simpler.

Like real hair, anime hair is composed of many strands. However,

rather than drawing each individual strand, the hair is often drawn

in various sized/shaped clumps, as shown here. These are some of

the simplest forms of each hair style. Notice that in most cases, the

outline is more curvy on the bottom of the hair clump. This is

especially apparent on the top leftmost example; the lower line is

curvier than the top line, giving the hair more depth and more of

that anime-ish look. Sometimes this is highly exaggerated, and

other times it is hardly noticable, but for most anime hair styles,

each individual strand of hair will have this basic shape.

Once you know how to draw each strand/clump of hair, you can

start putting them together to form more something that more

resembles anime hair. Look at each example here (well, exept

maybe for that one on the lower left; I'm not sure why I left that

in), and notice how the basic strands from the first step are

used. The same similar shapes generally persist throughout

many different hairstyles. Making one line curve out more than

the other on each strand can really help to flesh it out.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can make the hair as

detailed as you like; just keep adding more strands. I'll go over

this more shortly. ^_^

Now, we are getting into some slightly more complex shapes.

Notice how varying the size and shape of each strand gives the

hair different character; the strands can be long and thin, thick

and curvy, or sharp and spiky. Again, notice that you can either

make the hair very detailed, or very simple, depending on how

many individual strands you draw.

Here are more examples of different basic shapes of hair. Take

note of how the hair overlaps and is nested in itself when it bends

or twists. You can make some really interesting hair by having it

twist and turn all over the page. ^_^

Next, I'm going to go over some different types of hair styles,

but before I continue, I want to go over a few things regarding

the placement of the hair on the head.

No matter what hairstyle you are going to draw, the hair always

grows from the same region of the head, as shown by the

example in the middle. It grows out from the entire back part of

the scalp, from the forehead to the back of the neck (not just the

base of the head, but down the back of the neck, too). It isn't

just plopped onto the top of the head. You can generally get

away with not paying attention to this fact, but if you are

drawing hair that has been pulled back or hair that is trimmed

really short, then it will be important that you know where

exactly the hair is placed.

One reoccuring problem I've noticed with a variety of artists is

that they do not take into account the fact that there is a skull

underneath the hair. Sometimes artists draw the hair too small

for the head, as in the example at the bottom. The bangs stick

out, but there is no forehead beneath them; the hair curves

down on the head far too low, cutting the head off and making

the skull oddly shaped and flat. This is not a good thing. ^_~ If

you need to, draw out the character's entire head before adding

the hair, so that you are it will fit and look natural. Well, as natural as anime hair can look.. :D

Okay, now that I've gotten that taken care of, here are some

examples of different anime hairstyles, all with short hair.

Hopefully it might give you some ideas. Notice also that many

of these can be used for either male or female hairstyles. I'm

sorry these aren't as detailed as some of the previous

examples, but you still get the basic idea and shape of each

style (hopefully).

Here are some different examples of longer, flowing hair styles;

again, some of these can be used for either male or female, so

don't whine at me for only drawing hair for one gender.. ^_~

In contrast to the shorter hair styles, you'll note that a lot of

these are composed of long, curving lines. When drawing

longer hair, try to avoid making the lines perfectly straight; make

sure that the hair follows the form of the head and the body,

esepcially if it is sitting on or over the shoulders.

When drawing longer hair, you'll especially want to make sure

the lines follow the shape and flow of the hair, rather than have

it simply fall down in straight lines regardless of the hair's

shape. It will give your character's hair much more depth and

form if you make your lines work for you; make them show that

the hair turns and twists, not that it just sits there on the

character's head, or that the main outline of the hair is curvy but

the interior strands are all straight.

Here are a few more examples of different hair styles, this time

focusing on hair that has been pulled back in ponytails. I don't

have much to say about it; I just thought that I should put these in

their own section since I had so many of them drawn up. Just

remember that when the hair is pulled in a specific direction, the

lines and strands of the hair are drawn in that direction, too.

I also wanted to briefly go over ponytails, and how they can be drawn.

You can make them simplistic, highly detailed, or sketchy, depending on

your style. Just keep in mind that braids consist of several thick strands of

hair being twisted and woven together; it won't just be a straight line.

Think of the hair strands as intersecting, inverted teardrop shapes that

are linked together. The bottoms are tied off, and fray out slightly.Try to

show the thickness of the hair.

Now, here is the tough part: putting your character's hair

into motion. I'm going to start by going over some

examples with long hair.

Anime hair is often drawn whipping about dramatically in

the wind; it may look difficult to draw at first, but it isn't

that bad. First, decide which direction you want the hair

to be blowing. Do you want the hair to move to the sides,

to be blown back behind the character, or pushed

forward in front of the character? Once you decide, draw

the hair ( all the hair; bangs move along with the rest of

the hair) moving in that direction. It is similar to drawing

the hair falling straight down the character's back, except

now you are curving it in a different direction. The lines

of the hair and each individual strand will be pulled in the

direction that the entire mass of hair is being drawn.

Remember to use curved lines that follow the form of the

hair, not straight lines that simply go from one end to the

other.

For example, on the topmost right picture, the

character's hair is being swept back behind him; thus,

I drew the hair curving back behind him in nice,

sweeping lines. For some really nice examples of similar

hairstyles, find some CLAMP manga such as Rayearth

or X/1999; they're loaded with characters with beautiful,

sweeping hair. ^__^ All these examples were borrowed

from CLAMP's RG Veda , by the way (I was working on

this tutorial in the library, and RG Veda was the only

manga I had on me... ^_^;).
