How to draw a man’s hair step by step In this article, we will describe in detail. All the main points are covered in sufficient detail, with pictures and explanations, so this guide is well suited for beginners.
Before you start drawing a man’s hairstyle, you need to think about the hairline. Even if the character has bangs and the forehead is partially hidden behind them. For the forehead, of course, you should leave enough space between the eyebrows and the hair.
Hairlines vary, but they rarely look like a simple straight line. So think about what your character’s hairline will look like and don’t forget that hair also grows in front of the ears. Here we will look at the three most common hairline variations.
For most men, the older they get, the further back their hairline recedes toward the back of the head. This usually starts at the temples and is called a “receding hairline.” If you are drawing a mature male character, think about how far back his hairline has receded. This will make your character more believable.
How to draw a hair parting?
Once you have chosen a hairstyle, think about how it will look. Does your man have a parting? If so, where? Or should you start with the hair on the top of his head?
For convenience, you can draw a guide line for the chosen parting.

Alternatively, the parting can be zigzagged. The parting line indicates the direction in which the hair will be arranged on the head. Once you have decided on the parting, you can use a variety of different hairstyles. Having a parting does not necessarily mean that there will be a “recess” at the front hairline. The hair can easily fall on the forehead or change direction only in the area of the parting.
Here are two versions of a side parting. One option has a forward-sweeping fringe and one does not. When you draw a long fringe, don’t forget to mark the hair along the hairline behind it. You should also make sure to draw the hair at a slight distance from the head. Hair has a certain volume and does not stick directly to the head, unless it is wet, of course.
As with a side parting, the hair grows out from it in all directions. It will look the same from the back. In the most general case, the hair on both sides of the head will be symmetrical unless it is fixed with a hair clip, headband, gel, or something similar.
How to draw male hair realistic

First, draw a circle that is slightly elongated vertically!
Step 2

Step 3
In this step, we draw the ears, neck, and shoulders!
Step 4
Here you need to decide on the level of hair growth (as described at the beginning of the article)!
Step 5
And at this stage, we create the sides of the hair and the hair parting!
Step 6
Next, we draw the outlines of the darker hair!
Step 7
And here we darken the hair even more!
Step 8
Let’s draw the hair on the beard!
Step 9
Next, draw the eyes, ears, and eyebrows!
Step 10
And we finish drawing the hair on the head (this is an approximate plan for drawing hair; the main thing here is to understand the important details, which are the hairline and hair parting, the starting points for drawing hair on the head)!
