"This next style of hat you are going to wonder why is she telling us how to draw a turban? I know that these are not necessarily right now they're not in style. That's not why I am showing you. I'm not showing you what's in style now. I think that whatever is in style now is what is in style for you. I don't say you should buy into fads, my own personal opinion is be yourself, but I will say that turbans if you will look at any fashion magazines from the present time you are going to find a photo layout and you're going to find a turban. You're going to see on I forget Armanis or Louis Vaton's Fall or Spring Runway Show they did saurian inspired dresses and turbans. There are turbans that are kind of if you know where to look you will see them and you will see that it is a recurring theme lately. Personally I love them but I don't wear them out because I would just feel kind of stupid but they are really easy to draw just make sure that you frame the head in the shape of the head, they can go above the head like I did one here that is a turban and then it is knotted and that is what this signifies is the knot coming down, the extra addities and a turban is going to be a lot of fabric folded up in places on your head and that is what makes a turban a turban so make sure you show that."
