How to draw cartoon hair

Well if you can get away with that, I figured I could get away with simple hair ideas too.

Here is a simple cartoon face with ears.

To add curly hair I started by adding four overlapping circles to form a fringe which I coloured dark brown.

Next I added more circles, all the same size around the sides, but since this hair was to be behind the ears, I didn't colour over any of the face, but let the pink skin mask out the hair.

All together there were 20 circles to make up the curly hair. To make spiky hair I did the same, but with gold stars instead of circles.

10 gold stars all placed randomly on top of each other made up the fringe.

Another 30 stars and my little character has got a full head of spiky hair. Why not see what you can use to make cartoon hair easy to draw?

Take a look at other cartoons and see what shapes they use to make hair.
