Joel Hickerson, grindog.com. And today we're going to draw hairstyles. And let's start with a bouffant to kind of comes all the way up to a almost a cone. And we follow it on up to a cone and maybe make a couple curls come off the bottom. But then on this one, come back and shadow it. And again when you shadow it always pick yourself a light source coming from somewhere. We're going to pick this one from the front. So the light source is actually coming in from here. Coming up with the big bouffant. And it's fun sometimes to kind of accessorize it, maybe throw a knobby pin coming off of it. Boing. Like that. There and that's our bouffant. And then we might come back with the marines. The marine cut which is pretty much just squared off at the top with a couple, couple shadows coming off of it. And then you can give him a collar with a insignia if you want. Then maybe the punk rock guy down here at the bottom; bring it out way wide with a Mohawk. O.k., if you want to do stripes you can do that too. O.k. and then maybe this guy down here would have an afro. A big one. You can always do the same thing you did with the bouffant, get yourself a light source, kind of give it a little shadow to it. And then give it some curl, textures. And the last guy maybe Elvis down here. Not too much different then our Mohawk man only you fill it in a little more and maybe come in around the side, and give him little side burns. Alright. Now that's how you draw at least five different hairstyles.
