How to Draw Gothic Hair

1
Choose the gothic hairstyle you want to draw. In this example, we'll concentrate on a girl's hairstyle with two spiky pigtails with pink and purple streaks.

2
Draw the face and neck of the goth girl in pencil. Work on on the details, until you're satisfied with the results.

Draw the bangs. Gothic bangs are often long and spiky, and fall over the eyes. Sketch in jagged spikes that follow the curve of her head. Have fun and stay loose with the lines; gothic hair should be loose and full of energy.

4
Now add the pigtails. Again, keep the lines loose and flowing. Make sure the ends of the pigtails stop at many different places for a messy and wild look.

5
Once you're satisfied with your drawing, trace the lines with an ink pen. You don't have to trace the lines of the hair exactly. It's more important to be loose and free than to draw within the lines. Let the ink dry, then erase the pencil.

6
Choose streaks to color in either pink or purple. Color the rest of the hair black.

Tips & Warnings
Keep your arm and hand loose when you go over the drawing in ink. It's perfectly fine if you make a mistake. Gothic hair is supposed to be messy. Make the colored streaks random so they don't look like a pattern.
