Short hair flow
Follow the hair from the crown outward, grouping locks into clear directional masses before adding smaller strand details.
Hair construction
Here we can see a useful way to construct complex hairstyles from large flowing sections. Build the main hair mass first, divide it into directional groups, and add individual strands only at the end.
Stylized hair shape library
Design expressive hair with large readable masses first, saving curls, spikes, and loose strands for the final pass.
Six everyday hairstyles
Start with the overall silhouette, then use a few directional strands to frame the face and clarify each hairstyle.
Male hairstyle variations
Change the part, lift, length, and strand grouping while keeping the same head structure underneath every style.
Textured hair and fades
Observe how hairline, density, curl pattern, and side fade work together to create distinct textured styles.
Fringe and short-hair variations
Place the part first and let the fringe cross the face guides naturally without flattening the skull volume.
Dreadlocks from every angle
Keep lock thickness and root placement consistent as overlapping groups wrap around the head in each viewpoint.
Textured hairstyles from front and back
Draw the overall silhouette first, group the hair into larger sections, and add a few direction lines.
