Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Cartoon Hair
How to Draw a Great Looking Cartoon Hair for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a circle. This will form your cartoon character's head - after all, cartoon hair needs a cartoon head to grow on.

2. Extend a line from one side of the circle to the other, enclosing a rounded shape below the circle. This continues to shape the cartoon character's face.

3. Draw a straight, horizontal guide line across the bottom portion of the circle. This guide line will help you to place other features on the drawing, such as the ears. Enclose each ear using a curved line. The top of the ear should connect to the head at the same point as the horizontal guide line.

5. Outline the hair using a series of connected, curved lines. Notice how the outline of the hair is larger than that of the head. Also note how the locks of hair come together in curved points. Use the horizontal guide line to position the hair, and don't forget the small lock of hair extending from the crown of the head.

Learn More About The Cartoon Hair Drawing
Hair has been important to human culture at least since the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hair styles then came to represent social standing - for example, facial hair in men was a demarcation of royalty.
This was so important to that culture that Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh, had herself depicted with a beard in temple carvings and paintings.
In the Bible, Samson's great strength was dependent on his not trimming his hair. In the Victorian era, it was customary to keep a lock of hair in order to remember a deceased friend or family member.

Indeed, hair is still an important part of our lives. Many people expend great amounts of time and money on styling their hair.
Would you like to learn how to draw hair? This simple, step-by-step drawing tutorial explores a classic hairstyle - that of pigtails, or hair tied back on each side of the head.
Did you know? The term pigtail originated in the American colonies in the 1600s. It described a "twist" of chewing tobacco, made from curling several leaves together and then drying them.
It was so named due to its resemblance to the curly tail of a pig. Later, it was applied to braids or tied bunches of hair that were worn by both men and women.
All you will need to complete your drawing is a pencil, a sheet of paper, and a good eraser. Each step of this drawing guide includes an illustration as well as explanatory text.
