"Hi I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to learn how to draw characters. Okay, in drawing characters, we have lots of different things that we can add to their bodies with hair and hats and things like that. But right now, I'm going to show you how to add hair to the face and the head. So you can choose whatever you want. You've got Mohawks, 'fros; you've got curly hair, straight hair, no hair, half hair. So I'm just going to show you a few examples. Say this guy is a punk rocker, and his ear is out here, and he's got a Mohawk. We can just kind of go way crazy with it, like this. And his neck's there. But he's a smiling punk rocker, so he's not going to spray graffiti or anything. But now, say that this is an older woman and she's got kind of the Mrs. America hair. So we're going to come out here and just kind of giver her that fifties curl. Just come out here. It's almost like; I guess they call it the hair helmet. And you can put a little flower in there. Okay, and then this one up here. Say this is a younger girl and she's like five or six and she's got pigtails, so you just kind of stick them out like this. Like this, like it looks like she has wings on her head. You can put a part down the middle. And this one is a city guy and he's kind of a fly guy, so he likes his 'fro really big. And he's got eyes like this...and he's smiling. Okay, and then this girl have really long, princess hair. You can just do something really simple with her lips here. And put one eye, with the big eyelashes. Go like this. She's got like, rapunzel hair. We'll give her an eyebrow so she doesn't feel weird. And there are examples of hair."
