Hair

In the glamorous city center, the Haves show off hairstyles that put form over function. Big, extravagant shapes and complicated up-dos are all the rage, but behind every over-the-top style is a basis in anatomy. Before you start drawing, make sure you know how the hair sits on the skull.

DRAWING BUNS

Sketch the head shape and pick the point or points where you want the hair to gather. Then start adding guidelines in the direction the hair will be pulled. As shown by the blue lines, hair curves toward the bun following the shape of the head. Finally, finish the detailing on your hair. The basic process of drawing a bun is the same whether the end hairstyle is simple or elaborate. If you want more than one bun in the final look, just segment the hair at the part lines.

IMAGINATION IS KEY

In a setting like this, it’s important to let your imagination run wild. Think bold, sleek and over-the-top. Then try out anything that comes to mind.
