Hi Guys

This week we’ll have a look at some of the fun examples of funky hairdos.

We always have main characters with normal hairdos, this makes them easier to relate to for the readers. This makes them blend in.

I prefer characters that stick out. Especially the unlikely antihero type.

So, have a look at this week’s pic.

Sketch the outline of the hair into your plan

I use the usual grid sketch (line up the eyes and the nose) to plot the drawing. Except this time, I have added the rough shape of the hair into the grid. This gives you a good idea of what you will need to fill in.

The first pic is a guy with a Mohawk, The next is a guy with an afro and the last is a Rasta with dreadlocks.

Their hair tells as much of a story as their expressions. Making for some pretty fun characters!

So experiment with some crazy hair styles and show us what you come up with!

Hi Guys

The first mistake that people make is to draw guys with huge muscles ALL the time. This often defeats the purpose of the story. How can a super hero be super if everyone is as big as him? Where are all the normal people?

It is often easier and more fun to draw muscled up heroes, than to draw normal people, but your work will lack perspective.

The other mistake is to put the wrong body and head together. Choose a body type that is best suited to the face you are drawing. Have a look at this week’s pics.

common mistakes to avoid - the worng head and body combo or too much buff

The top character has a kid next door face, the muscled physique doesn’t suit him at all. He needs a smaller frame.

The bottom character, on the other hand, works better muscled up.

You might find that normal people are fun to draw too and sometimes more challenging.

Experiment and have fun! And let us see some of your work.
