General Tutorials:
A few years ago, if you wanted to
learn how to draw Japanese-style
comics, the online tutorials created by
acclaimed artist Julie Dillon and
featured on her seminal jdillon.net
website were the only game in town.
With the advent of the English-
language How to Draw Manga series of
books, manga-art instruction has been
taken to the next level.

Help:
But Julie's tutorials remain an
excellent --and essential--place to
begin your manga art career.
The tutorials begin with the basics of
drawing hair, faces, bodies and
clothing. Once you've mastered those,
you may want to try your hand at the
tutorials focused on illustrating specific
anime characters, including those
from the celebrated Dragonball Z
series. And finally, Julie gives some
pointers on using the Paint Shop Pro
and Photoshop image-editing
computer applications.
We are proud to present the entire
series of tutorials here as an exclusive
feature of the howtodrawmanga.com
website.

Hair Tutorials
In this brief tutorial, Julie will
share a few tips about drawing
anime style hair.
Hairstyles and images within
are borrowed from other
sources (mostly CLAMP
characters, but there are others,
too).

How to draw anime-style hair
J U L I E D I L L O N ' S T U T O R I A L S
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.

How to draw anime-style hair
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. ^_^
