Here are several step-by-step linear constructions of manga characters for exercises in drawing and coloring. Pay attention to the hairstyles - the hairstyles of the characters are a kind of trademark of the manga - often the characters are recognized only by their hairstyles:

1) Before drawing the hair, draw the base - head, shoulders, face, etc.
Draw the back of the head so you know where the head ends.
2) Now draw all the non-curly parts of the hair. For example, I drew straight bangs for this girl.
You should already have an idea of what hairstyle you want to give your character. A ponytail, braids or loose hair - to have an idea now is good idea(you can make a rough sketch if necessary)
3) This is the end of my preparations for drawing the curls themselves. I braided my girl's hair into knots (or odangos, whatever you want to call them) and added a few strands to give the appearance of her hair being pulled tight.
You don't have to do your hair like I did, this is just one example of how to prepare your character for the curly phase.
4) Now we start curling. Draw several curved lines that will represent the back part of the first curl. My curl split into a thin and thick section, but you can do one thick section if you prefer.
5) Now let's draw the front part. Make a slight curve on one side to add some weight and thickness. Make sure you cover the lines you drew in step 4 to create a complete curl.
6) Draw the back of the second curl. Because this hair will be very loose and springy, I leave plenty of space between curls.
7) Draw the front half of the curl, this time adding a curve behind it, unlike the previous curl. Notice the different thickness of each curl.
8) Make another set of curls, this time closer together - if you want tight curls, draw them close throughout instead of leaving distances like I do.
9) Continue making curl after curl, varying the thickness and distance between them. You can add a few lines to the back of the curl.
10) Continue curling. Make sure you know where to stay (short is good too!)
11) Finish with a small curl.
12) Repeat the entire process on the other side of your head. Draw all the front curls before starting on the back ones.
13) Now let's move on to the rear ones. If you start to get confused, try drawing them with less pencil pressure. This can help if you have a lot of curls.
14) This is the finished version with all the curls! Still missing a few little things. Let's add them now.
15) Just add a few small curls (like the ones we ended each row with).
Finally! The sketch is ready!
16) Now stroke. Make lines of different thicknesses. Just like in the sketch, try doing the front rows first, and do each curl separately to avoid confusion.
17) These are the finished outlined curls. Alternate thin and thick lines.
Here I have completed the drawing of the character to show what the whole image will look like. But you can draw your entire character before you start doing the curls. It would be a shame if, after all this work, you don't like the rest of the picture. ;p
18) Now you can add color!
I use markers for coloring, layer by layer adding darker shades for the shadows.
Because This is not a coloring tutorial, I won't tell you what to do. Experiment or find a lesson.
This is what the picture looks like at the moment. Far from finished.
I hope this tutorial will help you understand how I draw curly hair for my characters.
Please remember that these are just guidelines. You can use them to practice and develop your own style.
Good luck!

1.Let's get down to basics!
What are you doing wrong?
Take for example the three points A, B and C below.
What are you looking at when you draw a straight line - B and curved line- S - B? For a pencil? Or to points C or B? 
When you draw a picture, you must see the direction of the line you are drawing, look not only at the point of the pencil, but equally at all three points A, B and C. People cannot draw shapes properly if they look only at the point of the pencil. 
Then, look at the 7 random dots below. What do you see?
Just a group of dots? Or can you barely discern the shape? 
Let's number the points at random. Still not getting the shape you want? 
Let's renumber the points to give them meanings that your eyes automatically follow in shape. Those who can decipher shape from looking at dots in this way are able to draw shapes. 
Finally the dots are connected. Random lines connect to create a shape, talented people when drawing can feel the hidden lines within the picture and trace them. Your ability to draw shapes depends on whether you can actually visualize the points in the correct order. 
2. How to paint a “good picture”? "
What makes a good job? Sketch? Interesting detail? Project? Subject? Compound? All of these components are important, but if you want to hear positive feedback about your work from others, you must create an impression and convey your feelings. In other words, you must be able to connect in a subconscious way with those who see your work.
Start by drawing a square box. This is a Graphics test. 
In rooms 1-6, new information gradually added to the box. The amount of information contained in the drawings done at the absolute beginner level is excellent, from simple box to advanced. This is illustrated by the difference between number 1 and number 8.
The observer (the person tasked with drawing the boxes) would expect to see only what he asked, square box number 6 - 8 exceeds these expectations. You can't say that number 6 - 8 are mistakes. The effective key is to show individual interpretation.
It is necessary to give the drawing an element of surprise and include additional information into it, which would make it more interesting. Of course, to do this you must be good at sketching. But on top of that, you must also come up with interesting topic, character pose and design. 
Although the character in example 9 and 10 are the same, you can see how they differ not only in design, but also in personality. This is a subconscious premise in the reader's opinion of a major anime and manga character to be attractive. This is what is expected, adding depth to their appeal. We can surprise the reader by exceeding their expectations, that's the first step when someone says your drawing is "good", but the real start is when they say it's "great".
You can also draw according to the reader's expectations similar to circle magazines.
For example, when looking at boxes, although the animator can draw up to level 8, he doesn't because readers expect to see level 6 drawing. Likewise, the animator, instead of drawing realistic illustrations, draws manga with simple lines and creates suitable Simple Distortion (SD) type characters.
First of all, draw square boxes.
What? Again!
We need to learn the basics!
How to draw with accurate perspective is explained in special books, but you do not have to draw with the precision of an architect. Once you get used to it, you won't spend much time drawing or thinking about the disappearing dot.
Draw straight lines freehand (no ruler or template). Draw a line on clean slate paper from one point to another, imagining the end result in your mind. You do the same with your sketches, only on a larger scale.
3. Before you start.
Start drawing! But before that.
It's well said that you will start drawing, but what are you going to draw?
Have you mastered the pencil willy-nilly? Are you going to draw an RPG (Role Playing Game) character? manga character? A hero in the fight? Or, are you planning to draw an illustration or logo? Charts of Basic Character Expressions? It doesn't matter if you draw - scribble. Just make sure you have a specific image of the character, location and pose. Good paintings start with a design.
Once this is decided, you draw the outline of the movement to create an overall image in which you don't have to worry about the cleanliness of the drawing or whether there is enough leg room on the page. nice picture has a solid pattern. This is the first step in the sketch 
Now outline the outline in detail!
In general, people think that it is very difficult to get a harmonious sketch if you draw simple polygons. Indeed, when you draw an illustration, you don't draw a square. However, you must decide what position each body part is in. And when you figure it out, you will draw well and quickly. 
For now you can draw square boxes, but soon you will be able to draw characters. 
4. Let's get down to basics
It's time to think about body size. 
4. Shoujo Manga (Comic Girls)
A character with a very thin waist and with long legs. For girls, the body contours are defined proportionally, but the head is small. The boys are drawn almost the same, but with wider shoulders.
5. Funny SD character
This guy looks funny with a small body but big hands, legs and head.
6. Realistic type.
The length of the torso, body and legs are proportional - roughly the same as the Girls, except for the exaggerated narrow waist.
The character drawing differs with style. It's not just a change in body proportion, depending on whether it's a manga or an illustration, for example the same character will have various features. Compare different drawings of the same character below, especially looking at the ways the eyes and hands were drawn. You notice how some details have been drawn in detail while others have been left out. 
5. Drawing Details
Character drawing
While you've looked at individual characters, an animation or manga work cannot be produced with just one character. You should also be able to draw support characters.
Also look at how to draw support characters. You must express everyone's individuality with precision. There are two things you need to do, make the leads stand out and provide the supporting characters with enough personality to make them interesting. Think about the personal background (their background, their beliefs, their relationship with the main character, etc.) for each character, and then convey this information in the work through such things as their expressions, hairstyle, costume and accessories.
Characters number 3 - 7 are much more difficult to draw than attractive main characters. Drawing older people will bring life-like realism to your work and characters.
Villains
1- Enemy Advisor: Wizard (character #1) An old man with a bent back.
2- Enemy Leader. Stubborn.
His shoulders are narrower than the Strong Soldier's side Positive heroes.
3 – Enemy Advisor: the bad Witch (character #2) is the same size as the witch on the Goodies' side, but she doesn't stand in a feminine pose.
4 – Enemy leader number 2. The head is taller than the Hero's, but thinner than the Enemy Leader. Attractive character.
5- Female enemy character
The power pose is a type of genre independent of me. Slightly taller than Hero.
6 - Enemy Spy. Monkey type (Short with long arms)
Steps like a ninja.
7 – Monster. Huge hands emphasize his strength.
8 - Willens' pet
It does not have any specific meaning in history.
In history to highlight the treatment of the devil.
6. Looking for a suitable pose.
Translation: Alevtina
Step 1: Basics
1) I start drawing from the spine as this helps me define the curves of the body. I start at the top and draw a smooth S-shaped curve down to the place where we supposedly have the end of the spine (tailbone).
2) Then I sketch out the torso with details (head, arms and waist outlines). I haven’t outlined the shape of my breasts yet, this is just the beginning.
3) After obtaining a good elastic sketch of the body, we outline the outer boundaries of the breasts with light curved lines (red lines). Don't forget to mark the tiny folds of skin where the arms and chest (armpits) meet.
4) I'm starting to add details. Breast volume can be shown with guide lines. Remember that boobs are attached to the body and if you outline the entire mass of the breast, it will look like a solid mass with the ribcage, and not bulging out.
5 and 6) In these two steps I try to determine the location of the nipples. In step 6 I use a little trick to locate the center of each breast. Representing the breast as a three-dimensional object will help you with this: draw vertical lines, as if dividing each breast in half, from the subclavian dimple through the center of the breasts and converging slightly at the bottom at the base. Remember: only smooth curved lines!!!
7) Since there are no people without fat deposits, I draw the body in point 7 with small roundness on the hips and torso below the chest.
8) Rough sketch of large breasts on the same torso. I use the same principle for nipple placement, only with an adjustment: the nipples are more massive and have a larger diameter, and are located lower due to the weight and volume of the breasts.
9) Small breasts on the same torso. The same rule applies: smaller breasts, the nipples are smaller and located higher.
Step 2: Angles!
A woman can be large or small, and you should try to draw your breasts in proportion. Even in the majority cartoon styles apply this rule. In the example on the left: the breasts are shaped like baseballs and appear separated from the torso. Right: they look harmonious. Remember that if the curve of the body changes, then the line of the chest changes. Here I sketched out a small diagram: I enclosed the main parts of the body, as it were, in boxes and drew them with midlines, for clarity. And remember: boobs two, and you have to draw each one separately, they are never squeezed into a single mass!
When the arms are raised, the chests stretch slightly to the sides. When one arm is raised, the breasts will be positioned slightly different levels(the closest one will pull up behind his hand). Remember to draw small curved lines under the arms as both arms are raised above the head.
Step 3: Breast Shape and Methods of Influencing It!
People often forget one important thing: breasts are not made of plastic! It's not hard. Its shape is more like a slide than a ball. Think of your breasts as a bubble filled with water: when the bubble hangs freely, it is like a pendulum, but if you press on the breasts, you will get an indentation where the pressure is applied and an increase in volume at the edge of the indentation.
Even certain clothes can put pressure on your breasts or cause them to bulge in various places. Breasts are not round all the time and are rarely round at all. (Unless, of course, they are made of silicone).
In the diagram below I show how hand movements affect the change in breast shape. On the left - chest at rest. On the right - they were squeezed or pressed. The vertical fold between the chest and torso lengthens, the chest is pressed towards the body.
Step 4: Hints
From left to right - small, medium and big breasts. The last drawing is what breasts shouldn't look like. Look closely, the red line under each breast indicates the fold of skin between the breast and rib cage. The outermost breast on the right has almost no weight, so there is no crease there. But remember that even the smallest breasts have weight!
Let's look at what color nipples are. You don't need to make them very pink. They have the same body tone, only more reddish, brownish, or orangeish.
At least I haven't seen any bright pink nipples.
(Translation note: naive author, never pulled girls’ nipples))
Next: side view of the nipple. Keep in mind that nipples do not always stick out perpendicular to your breasts. Typically they can be quite flat and not stand out, but sometimes they stick out quite boldly!
(Approx. Transl.: yeah, the author still has some experience in this matter))

How to draw an anime cat
Step 1. So let's get started. Draw an oval as a base for the head. Then we draw the front guide lines. They will help you arrange the details of the muzzle proportionally. Add small details of the nose, mouth and eyes. Let's move on to the body. Draw an elongated heart, this will be the chest of our cat. From the heart we draw two lines down. These will be the front paws of our kitten. After this, we draw two curved lines on the sides, these are the hind legs. Let's not forget to draw another long curved line on the right, the tail. 
Step 2. We begin the step by designing the lower part of the muzzle. We denote the eyes with curved arcs. Next we draw lines - sketches of the paws and tail. 
Step 3. Draw the fur on the chest and tail. Add details on the face and ears. Detailing the paws. 
Step 4. Add a mustache and draw the eyes. Let's detail the ear. We finish the paws and add marks on the chest. Ready! 
Step 5. This is what our cat looks like after erasing the extra lines. Final version. If you want, you can omit the mark on the chest or add something of your own. I tried to make the lesson as simple as possible. 
Fine art is a good hobby for a person of any age. This can turn into a real profession if you learn how to master a pencil.
And skill develops only through practice. The more you train, the better you get.
Anime art that is fashionable today is one of the most popular types drawing by artists of all ages.
Anime is not only drawings of comic books and stills from cartoons, it is a whole direction in art. Anime cartoons are very popular in our country.
Songs are written about this, and the music selected for cartoons is real masterpieces.
Anime is a whole world. Peculiar, original. Let's dive into it headlong, creating our own comics and sketches in this style.
How to learn to draw a girl's face: eyes, nose and hair with a pencil
Step-by-step creation of a girl's face in anime style:
Drawing a guy from scratch: full body
Draw anime in full height- a little more complicated. There are more details here.
Step-by-step instructions - drawing a full-length guy in anime style:
- We draw a cross, where the vertical line indicates the position of the body, and the horizontal line indicates the upper line of the shoulders.
- Draw horizontal lines to indicate the hips, knees and feet.
- Draw the joints with circles. They indicate the position of the hands. At this stage it’s easy to fix everything and paint on it.
- Now we draw the head. First the ball, then the precise lines of the cheekbones and chin. Apply the contours of the hairstyle or headdress with strokes on top. We clarify the line, erase unnecessary strokes.
- We finish the drawing: we make the body, the contours of the clothes. We erase everything unnecessary and complete the composition, clarifying the details.
Important! Use the hardest pencil to draw outlines. It is the easiest to erase.
When the contours suit you, erase the excess and trace the drawing with a soft pencil. Anime is often depicted with the softest pencil for clarity of lines.
When portraying a man, remember the proportions of the body. Men, too, can be both overweight and very thin.
It is not necessary to add broad shoulders and muscular arms to every male character. Consider height and build. The length of the neck and the shape of the face depend on this.
Girl body for beginners
The female body in anime style is a great theme for a new drawing.
Remember a few rules:
- Beauty female body in the anime it is depicted a little exaggerated when compared with the normal proportions of a living person.
- The waist is very thin, slightly wider than the neck.
- The girls are depicted as very thin, but the head remains disproportionately large.
- The girl's hair is depicted as voluminous, regardless of length.
- The chest is feminine, round, slightly wider than the shoulders.
- Thin hands.
- The waist is very thin.
- Hips are wide relative to the waist. Their width follows the chest.
- The legs are very long, rounded in shape.
When you start drawing a girl, pay attention to the details. Will your anime girl be clothed or are you portraying a naked lady on the beach.
Such drawings turn out great if you draw a girl with her back in a dimly lit room.
Here it is enough to mark the contours as described above. Identify the joints of the elbows and knees, and use them to outline the position of the arms and legs.
We shade everything around, leaving light areas around the figure. She is completely shaded.
Leave short reflections in places, determining the incidence of light yourself. Hair can be of any shape.
You can draw long and loose curls covering half of the back. Classic beauty is superb.
Important! Carefully erase the outlines and joints from the drawing. The end result should look like it was printed rather than drawn.
This is craftsmanship: your drawings must be alive.
Examples of drawn pictures
You can make money from anime art if you learn how to transfer an image visually onto paper, transforming it into anime.
Such portraits are in demand among schoolchildren and adults. The Internet unites, and anime cartoons - beautiful art, both children and adults like it. Look at the example drawings.

The concept of "anime" came from Japanese cartoons, but nowadays it is becoming more broad meaning. The word “anime” refers to cartoons, comics, characters, drawing techniques and much more. Fans of this style create groups in social networks, on specialized forums they discuss how a person who has no artistic talent can learn to draw anime.
It is known that japanese cartoons anime are aimed at teenage and adult audiences.
Although anime arose relatively recently, namely at the beginning of the 20th century, certain laws have developed in drawing techniques that are closely related to the traditions of Japanese art.
The characteristic features of the visual in general, as well as cartoons and comics in particular, are the planar orientation and graphic nature of images.
To understand how to learn to draw anime without artistic skills, you need to think in general terms.
One of the main rules is sketchiness. have a round face, large eyes, small mouth and nose. There are diagrams on how to draw anime, namely: body parts, emotions, movements. All this is strictly regulated.
The second rule is planar orientation. An anime image should not be three-dimensional. clear outline, there are only falling shadows that do not create much volume.
Similar laws for depicting people have existed in traditional graphics and painting in Japan for many millennia.
Since anyone can learn to draw anime, all you need is desire.
Step-by-step instructions will tell you in detail how to learn to draw anime girls.
Start drawing anime with a pencil. Swipe smooth circle, divide it into four equal segments by vertical and horizontal lines. A vertical line will help draw the nose, and a horizontal line will help draw the lines of the eyes, eyebrows and lips. Divide the bottom half of the circle into four equal parts. The first is the eyebrow line, the second is the upper eyelash line, the third is the lower eyelash line.
Draw the chin. The distance between the bottom edge of the circle and the bottom of the chin should be equal to a quarter of the diameter of the circle. Schematically draw the eyebrows, eyes, lines of the mouth and nose.
Draw the ears. The top of each ear should be no higher midline eyes, and - end slightly above the line of the mouth. Draw the eye, highlighting the highlights. Use thin lines to highlight the upper eyelids.
Draw a neck of harmonious length. The top hairline should be slightly higher than the originally drawn circle. Use subtle touches to highlight bangs and full, shoulder-length hair.
Use a pencil to draw strands of hair and a shadow under the chin.
Draw the entire image in detail. Highlight the eyes, leaving the highlights white.
You can color an anime drawn in pencil with watercolors or gouache. Once you've completely finished the anime in color, let it dry completely. Then draw along the pencil lines with black gel pen or rapidograph.
How can a person who has never picked up a pencil or brush learn to draw anime? Using traditional patterns for anime will not only make beautiful image, but also learn the basic laws of this style.
Now many young people are interested in drawing in the anime style. Let's try to figure it out together - what is it and how to draw it all correctly?
Step 1
Draw the chin and cheeks. Focus on drawing them the same on both sides. Although it may look simple, even the slightest mistake can make the drawing look unattractive.
Step 2
Draw the neck. Notice how thin it is. 
Step 3
Draw the nose and mouth. Most anime artists draw the nose and mouth VERY small. However, some people don't do this, so decide for yourself. 
Step 4
Add eyes. Notice how far apart and how close to the nose they are. 
Step 5
Add eyebrows. Notice how much longer they are relative to the eyes. 
Step 6
Add the ears and you have created a face. Notice that I added a hairline. Big head...
Please note: the angle of the ear is directed towards the eye.
3/4 view.
About the average head size (for anime). It doesn't look very attractive until you add hair. Hair is such a big part of anime that it requires a separate tutorial. 
The guy's facial structure is different (in most cases). Guys' faces are usually more elongated and their chins are more pronounced. 
When drawing a guy's neck, you can draw it similar to a girl's neck (but usually only for young boys, including teenagers). Or, as shown, you can draw it more developed.
Side view
Man and woman - style 1
More realistic and more pronounced. Their noses don't end sharply. Their eyes are smaller. Guys' chins are more prominent than girls'. 
Man and woman - style 2
Their head is more round. Their eyes are bigger.
You can draw an almost straight line from the tip of your nose to your chin. (i.e. lips and chin are weakly defined - approx. per.) 
General methods face shading
There are many ways to shade a face, here are a few.
Try to leave a little space between the shadow and the nose.
Sometimes there are highlights above the cheek and on the lip. 
Drawing eyes
Drawing simple eye
Step 1.
Draw a shape like this to make the white base of the eye.
It will only serve as a guide and you will erase it when you are finished. 
Step 2
From each corner, draw a line directed outward, then connect them with an arc. 
Step 3
After creating the arcs, paint over the resulting shapes. 
Step 4
Add the shapes shown. 
Step 5
Color in these shapes and add a sketch of the iris.
Erase the guide lines and you're done. Now you have a simple eye. 
Drawing More Complex Eyes
Step 6
Continue from step 5, draw some eyelashes from the top left corner of the eye. 
Step 7
Creating “soft” eyelashes. 
Create"soft" eyelashes on both ends upper eyelid. See instructions above. (Instructions: Draw the lines very close together. At the end of each stroke, release pressure on the pencil (or XD tablet) to create soft ends.)
Step 8
Add small eyelashes to the lower eyelid. 
Step 9
Add folds above the eye and you have created eyelids. 
Remember that the eyelids are usually very thick and have no large quantity eyelashes raised up like a real eye
Drawing the iris and pupil
If you have a tablet, sketch out the iris (like the eye above) and take advantage of your graphics program to create some truly amazing anime eyes.
Since not everyone has a tablet, I will draw the iris and pupil as if with a pencil.
Step 1
Draw the base of half the pupil. 
Step 2
Fill in, moving from a darker shade to a lighter one (using a gradient). 
Step 3
Add shadows at the top and base. 
Step 4
Some artists add a second ring. 
Step 5
Add plenty of highlights and you're done.
When observing professional anime artists in galleries, I noticed that almost all anime artists draw them from similar angles. 
On a face looking directly at you, the eyes are sometimes placed at an angle (arrows illustrate this angle). 
A common misconception is that what bigger face goes into a 3/4 turn, the further that eye (the eye farthest from you - approx. per) will move towards the edge of the face. This is wrong!
Do you see the shapes limiting the area with the eyes? Let me say that these lines are guides.
The greater the angle of rotation relative to you, the smaller and narrower the guide lines will be (at the far end of the figure - approx.), but they do not change their position. 
This is one of the few angles where you should draw the eye at the edge of the face. 
Drawing closed eyes.
If the eyes arch downwards (like a U), then the character is sleeping, meditating (thinking) or is in a peaceful state.
If the eyes arch upward, the character is very happy or smiling. 
Different eyes
Remember, you should not draw eyes “strictly according to the template”. Be creative, combine and mix various ways to create your own unique eyes.
Many anime style eyes have a slanted upper eyelid: 
Round eyes: 
Cat or snake eyes: 
Eyes used for zombies or hypnotized characters: 
When drawing eyes with tears, make the drops large and draw the highlights/reflections in the eye more than you would normally do. 
Side view of the eye.
Keep your distance. Pay attention to how far the eye is (from the bridge of the nose - approx. per.). 
Drawing Noses and Mouths
Mouths and noses (in anime) are usually quite small compared to the rest of the face. In anime-style pictures, the main emphasis is usually on the eyes. 
Drawing Anime Ears
Almost every anime artist draws ears differently. Draw creatively! Ears can be anything you want for different characters, so have fun with them. 
Drawing bangs.
There are many ways to draw anime bangs.
This tutorial divides bangs into two categories: bangs with a certain organization of strands (in the future, for brevity, I will call them combed bangs - translator's note) and random bangs.
Combed bangs.
Combed bangs are bangs that cover the entire forehead, and perhaps most bangs that are commonly drawn. However, there may be certain features when drawing them, since they are not straight.
Point and Guide Method.
Step 1.
This helps in creating the first guide lines. Create a dot or circle directly above the face. 
Step 2.
Create a guide curve. Outline the boundaries of the large strands of bangs. Please note that all lines are directed towards the point.
Each strand of hair will follow the same curve as the guide. 
Step 3.
Start sketching each strand.
Remember to maintain the consistency of the bends and draw the strands in the direction of the point. 
Step 4.
Finish sketching out the bangs.
Please note that the middle strand serves as a way to mark the middle (line of facial symmetry - translator's note). The bangs on both sides of the middle strand bend in different directions. 
Step 5.
Clean up your sketch or outline the strands. 
You can also add more bangs. 
The point and guide method used above was also used for this illustration. The point was placed much higher to make the bends in the strands smaller. 
Side view
Step 1.
This is the same guiding principle used in the Point and Guide Method. The only difference is that it is rotated. 
Step 2.
Start sketching each strand. Draw curves where the guide line bends and make the end of the strand where the guide stops. 
Step 3.
Erase guides and lines that you don't want to see. Remember to adapt the guide and change it to suit your character's personality. 
If you draw strands by picking a point on another strand and going from there, your bangs will probably look like this. The strands will likely be deformed and further separated, and will give the same effect as shown in the picture to the right. Drawing in this manner is best used for spiky hair. 
By drawing the whole strands and then going back and erasing the unwanted parts so that it is not noticeable, you can get straight strands that look combed like the one shown here. 
Bangs don't always have to be that V-shaped. By changing the type of tips you can get completely different looks. 
Step 1. Draw a straight line and give it a curve near the tip.
Step 2. Draw a straight line (or it can have a bend that suits you).
