[Emo Anime Hairstyles For Girls
Sharif Garmon
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 will simply be too time consuming to draw anything overly detailed.
Erase the parts of the head hidden by the hair and add a few lines to show the inner folds of the front and back hair. You will generally want to position these folds in between the hair clumps as that is where these will usually tend to form in real hair.
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 by the hair.
To make the hair look more messy draw the front hair clumps pointing into different directions and of varying shapes and curves. You can 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 section. This will again give more of an impression of hair that has not been well groomed.
Another fairly common anime hairstyle is the ponytail. You will notice that there is basically no side hair in this particular example (other than the tiny bits of the hairline on the sides). So the hair can pretty much just be splits into the front and back sections. The back consisting of the hair over the top of the head and the pony tail.
You can pretty much frame the front hair for this hairstyle with just three curves. Two for the sides and one for the bottom. As mentioned there is very little side hair in this example as the hair is pulled back revealing parts of the hairline.
For the very bottom section of the front hair draw a few small clumps sticking out around the top of the neck area. Erase any overlapping lines from the head that should be hidden by the hair when you are done.
Though most of the hair in this particular example will be pulled back you can draw some clumps for the front section of the hair to just one side to make the hairstyle look a little bit more interesting.
Curly hair is probably the most challenging anime hairstyles to draw. This particular hairstyle can again be split into the front sides and back with the front hair being similar to the previous example.
For the final step you can draw a little squiggle of hair hanging down from the middle of the front section and add some lines to the bottom of the background hair to indicate some inner folds. Make these lines more wavy than in the previous examples to show that the hair is curly.
When drawing hair it can be very helpful to organize it into separate sections. Not only will this help you get a better grip on how to draw it but it will also allow you to more easily alter the hairstyle by changing its various parts. For more hairstyles you can experiment by mixing different parts of the front, side, and back sections of the hair in this tutorial or by adding entirely new designs.
Anime characters seem to possess such a large variety of hairstyles, that we are simply in awe at all those hardworking manga artists and character designers in the anime industry, for their style and creativity!
We're going to delve deeper into this amazing world of anime girl hairstyles, and discover which characters truly like to spend time at the beauty salon, which are tomboys, and which are just plane Janes.
Akebi Sasaki from Girls und Panzer is a sporty but sensitive individual. She definitely likes to keep active, and has an interest in ballet. Her blonde slicked back hairstyle makes her look sharp, which suits her role as a gunner.
Rurichiyo Kasumiouji from Bleach is a princess and Hari from InuYasha: Toki wo Koeru Omoi is a servant of Lord Hyouga. Both of them tend to have an arrogant attitude towards those around them. It has to be the hair!
Side-swept hairstyles definitely suit alpha females. Mari Kurihara from Prison School and Milly Ashford from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion are both presidents of their respective student councils. Both tend to have a cold and calculating aspect to their personalities, whereas Petra Ral from Attack on Titan is a lot kinder but remains headstrong.
There is no shortage of femme fatales in the world of anime. These beautiful women do not just have agency, they have glorious hair, which will cause plenty of heads to turn.
Queen Bee from Golgo 13: Queen Bee, Fujiko Mine from Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna and Rias Gremory from High School DxD have the kind of wild and sexy hairstyles that have guys chasing them, and other females filled with envy!
There aren't many anime girls with bald (or shaved) heads, but there are a few that will make you wonder why they would forego hair. Are they members of an underground punk band? Or are they just distinctive?
Mahoja from D.Gray-man and the tomboyish Bellemere from One Piece certainly know how to carve out their own paths, and stand out from the crowd. Kriem from Tiger & Bunny is sick and injured after surviving a helicopter crash, and we see her without her jet black bob hairstyle.
It seems that long hairstyles are pretty much the standard for lead female characters. Utena Tenjou's bright pink long hair makes her look very distinctive, whereas Saeko Busujima's long locks only add to her sex appeal. And finally, Erza Scarlet's long red hair helps to emphasize her femininity, and offset the edgier aspects of her persona to a certain degree.
Anime girls who sport hair drills are few and far in-between. Nevertheless, this hairstyle certainly draws attention. Those twirled hair locks give the impression that they could easily drill through thick boards of timber!
The devious Biscuit Krueger from Hunter x Hunter, the arrogant Saki Tenjouin from To LOVE-Ru and the childlike Athena Tennousu from Hayate the Combat Butler!! have differing personalities. However, they all possess some very impressive blonde hair drills.
In anime, hairstyles can reveal a lot about a character. Hairstyles are an essential component of character design. Sometimes, a character's hair could be the most recognizable part of their overall appearance. There are a plethora of women in anime with unique hairstyles that are stylish and stand out from the rest.
These hairstyles vary from looks that are appropriate for day-to-day and styles that defy the laws of gravity. Their hair is colored in various shades, ranging from natural to vividly exotic hues. Regardless of style or color, we'd love to give these looks a try in real life.
The only time her hair was ever down in the series was when it got wet, leading the audience to believe that her styling products aren't necessarily the most enduring. Regardless, this hairstyle is infamously stylish, making Jessie stand out from the other characters in the series.
In the anime, Yoruichi's hair is a shade of purple, but it's a warmer tone. This excellent design choice perfectly complements her golden, cat-like eyes and her skin's complexion. The hairstyle isn't excessively maintained, but it's edgy enough to suit Yoruichi's stylish wardrobe. This chic hairstyle would also be pretty simple to replicate in real life.
Other Black Butler characters describe Grelle as a person who is "covered in red." With her long, dark red hair and the various scarlet hues of her attire, it's clear to see why she's earned such a reputation.
Grelle's hair is one of the most prominent aspects of her appearance, aside from her teeth resembling a shark's. Her appearance is just as flamboyant as her personality. The dark red hair juxtaposed with her glow-in-the-dark green eyes is one of several eccentric traits of Grelle Sutcliff.
Nejire Hado from My Hero Academia has one of the most stylish designs in the show. However, one aspect of her appearance stands out the most: her knee-length periwinkle hair. It's so long that she can wrap it around herself in her sleep like a cocoon.
In her hero costume, she styles it to have swirls going up on either side of her head, somewhat resembling the spirals of light she creates with her quirk. While it's unclear how Nejire has the patience to deal with maintaining such long hair, no other character in MHA would be able to pull off such a hairstyle as well as she does.
Her hair is black and styled into large, separate wavy ridges. Nezuko's hair fades to orange right at her elbow. Nezuko's hair was simply black when she was human, and she wore it in a bun. However, becoming a demon aesthetically changes people's appearances, and Nezuko is no exception.
Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail has long, scarlet-red hair that extends all the way down her back. This would be an effortless style to replicate in real life. It's a sleek, simple style that could suit just about anybody.
The red hair is an excellent complement to her gear on the battlefield as she fearlessly defeats countless enemies. Somehow, Erza's hair remains perfectly intact no matter what. Even if she endures several wounds during battle, Erza's hair will never become disheveled.
Though she's switched out her hairpieces frequently, Sailor Moon still rocks long, blonde pigtails. Her pigtails have always been a staple for her appearance, no matter what her accessories are. Her pigtails are one of the most memorable aspects of her design. In her hair, she's worn tiaras, shining red gems, and various other accessories with motifs that fit Sailor Moon's aesthetic.
While working as a sorcerer, Mei Mei from Jujutsu Kaisen wears her long, bluish-silver hair in two large braids. One hangs directly in front of her face, while the other hangs behind her. It's impressive that Mei Mei has enough hair to successfully create two perfectly equal braids to show off from the front and the back.
