1. Structure of Short Bob — compact · silky straight

A short bob frames the jaw with clean, blunt ends. Treat the whole silhouette as three volumes: a rounded crown, slightly flared sides, and a straight under-line around the chin. Use long continuous strokes in the fall direction and keep the ends crisp rather than wispy.

For this exact piece the key specs are: 4 major chunks, blunt and crisp edges, blunt fringe, and static movement. The silhouette reads as a rounded crown with a straight, jaw-length cut line.

Distinctive traits to nail: uniform jaw-length cut line; rounded crown volume; clean blunt ends. If your sketch captures those three, the style will read even at thumbnail size.

• Crown: volume follows the curve of the skull.
• Sides: fall straight and end near the jawline.
• Ends: one clean horizontal cut line.
• Detail: tuck 3-4 strands behind the ears for realism.

3. Gender Styling Notes — Female

Female anime faces read through softness and larger features. The jaw tapers to a gentler, rounded chin, the cheeks are softer, and the eyes are larger and sit slightly lower on the face for a youthful look. The nose is small and subtle, the lips are fuller, and the upper lashes are drawn with a thicker, cleaner line.

With this short-bob the medium weight and compact volume interact with the female head shape: keep the hairline softer and lower and let the blunt fringe do the framing work.
