• Silhouette: broken by gentle curves every few strands.

• Degree: keep it subtle and relaxed, not curly.

2. Drawing It at the Front Left 3/4 Angle

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 medium-wavy the medium weight and soft medium volume interact with the female head shape: keep the hairline softer and lower and let the wavy fringe do the framing work.
