How to Draw Manga Hair: Simple Male Hairstyle

Here is another hair style to try drawing.  This one is fairly simple and is a good basic hairstyle to know.
Start by drawing the head.  If you want to draw it the same way I do in the video, draw the head from the 3/4 view.  Add in all the facial features.
If you started out with a circle like I do in all of my tutorials, this really helps to position the hair.  The base of the spikes of hair sit on that circle.  Before you start drawing the spikes of hair, decide where the hair will start from.  You know that spiral of hair on the back of a guy’s head?  That is where the hair originates from.  You can place this spot on either side of the head, or in the center of the head.  Make sure you draw some spikes on either side of the neck so the hair doesn’t look like it’s just sitting on the top of the head. Also, vary the sizes of spikes so the hair looks more natural.
With this style of hair, only the outline is drawn.  In future tutorials, I will show you how to draw detailed hair where several strands of hair are visible.  But for now, you need to master the basics, so try to draw this style first by following along with the video.
