Hair design reference showing a male anime character with a long undercut hairstyle from a right side angle.

1. Structure of Long Undercut — contrasted · textured top, close-cropped sides

An undercut pairs a fuller top with shaved, close-cropped sides and back. The contrast is the whole design: sketch a thick upper volume with textured flicks, then keep the lower side hair nearly flush to the head with tiny hatch marks. Define the hard edge where the two meet.

For this exact piece the key specs are: 5 major chunks, hard contrast edge edges, textured top fringe, and static movement. The silhouette reads as full textured top volume over shaved, flush sides with a hard boundary.

Distinctive traits to nail: hard edge between top and shaved sides; textured crown volume; flush side hatch marks. If your sketch captures those three, the style will read even at thumbnail size.

• Top: a thick upper volume with textured flicks.
• Sides: close-cropped, nearly flush to the head.
• Edge: define a hard line where the two volumes meet.

2. Drawing It at the Right Side Angle

From the right profile the hair reads as one continuous silhouette from the crown down the back and over the forehead. Compress the fringe against the face and show the hair's thickness at the nape of the neck.

Block the full textured top volume over shaved, flush sides with a hard boundary first, then carve 5 major chunks following the crown flow before refining the hard contrast edge ends. At the right-side angle, treat the hair as one continuous silhouette from crown to nape.

Angle-specific focus for this reference: the continuous textured top, close-cropped sides silhouette from crown to nape; the thickness of the hair at the neck and how the fringe compresses against the profile.

• The hair reads as one continuous silhouette from crown to back.
• Compress the fringe against the face profile.
• Show thickness where the hair meets the nape of the neck.

3. Gender Styling Notes — Male

Male anime faces read through structure. The jaw is broader and more angular, the chin stronger, and the brow ridge more defined. The eyes are narrower and sit slightly higher on the head construction, the nose is sharper with a defined bridge, and the neck is thicker. Use firmer, straighter lines for the jaw and neck to sell the masculine silhouette.

With this long-undercut the heavy top / shaved sides weight and contrasted volume interact with the male head shape: keep the hairline slightly higher and more angular and let the textured top fringe do the framing work.

4. What to Watch in This Exact Reference (hair-ref-059)

Study these three focal points in order for Long Undercut at right side:

1. The continuous textured top, close-cropped sides silhouette from crown to nape; the thickness of the hair at the neck and how the fringe compresses against the profile.

2. The hard contrast edge edge quality and how 5 major chunks follow the profile contour.

3. Where the textured top fringe sits relative to the eye-line and whether strands break the forehead line.

Undercuts are defined by the hard boundary between the top volume and the shaved sides. Study where that edge sits — usually above the ear, curving up toward the crown. The top mass should feel heavy and textured; the sides should feel smooth and close to the head.

5. Common Mistakes for Long Undercut at Right Side

Breaking the profile silhouette with too many interior lines — for textured top, close-cropped sides hair at this angle, the outer contour is the strongest line; keep interiors light.

Breaking the silhouette with too many interior lines. In profile, the outer contour of the hair is the strongest line in the drawing — keep interior lines light.

Style-specific check: Blending the top and sides together. The undercut is all about contrast — the edge between the full top and the shaved side should be sharp and clear.
