to start, it looks like you're on your way to a pretty cool hair design already. you've got a decent idea of the hair’s directionality, and it’s helping give the character both style and personality. one thing i would suggest, though, is that you think of hair in 2 stages: (1) first, think of it in major chunks, deciding which parts overlap the others; (2) second, add the individual strands to follow the contours of the major chunks so that the overall hair silhouette appears cohesive. (bonus: if you consider the origin point for where the hair is coming out of the head, all of the chunks and strands should be directed outward from that point) from your drawing, i can discern three potential major sections of the hair based on the details and the overall silhouette drawn (i’ve marked them as 1, 2, and 3 in the draw-over). so a minimum of three main chunks should be at the front of the hair overlaying the top of the character's face. after deciding the position of these chunks, it’s also important to decide which chunks are frontmost and which ones are behind. depending on the angle that you want for the character's face, you can also determine how much of the chunks' origin points (i.e., the positions on the scalp where they sprout from the head) will be visible. for characters looking down at the viewer, the tops of their heads (and the tops of their hair) will be a lot less visible; the opposite is true for characters looking up at the viewer. since your character appears to be looking straight forward, it's logical to assume that the tops of the three main chunks of hair will be only visible from a front-facing view (meaning the viewer will probably see the peak of the hair chunks but not where those chunks curl back to descend into the scalp). since a front-facing view of a character (where the eyes are looking straight ahead at the viewer) is actually one where the back of the skull has a slight upward tilt, it is important to remember that the hair that is on the back of the head will actually be slightly more elevated than the hair at the front, meaning some of it will be visible behind the three main chunks of hair (in the draw-over, this hair visible at the back of the head is the section colored in orange). lastly, i made a slight change in the facial construction to shift the jawline a little bit lower since the ears typically end above the jaw's base (and since ear and jawline placement tends to help with the overall readability of hairstyles as well). the facial draw-over is colored in a slightly darker grey. feel free to follow up with any questions about this explanation. i hope this helps, friend ❤ | Artwod Feedback
