Hair design reference showing a male anime character with a long undercut hairstyle from a front left 3/4 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 Front Left 3/4 Angle

At a front-left three-quarter angle the hair rotates with the head: the left-side mass foreshortens and the far-right falls compress toward the profile. Keep the part line in perspective and let the fringe wrap around the forehead curve.

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 front-left-3-4 angle, balance the left and right falls around the vertical centerline and keep the fringe aligned with the eye-line.

Angle-specific focus for this reference: how the left-side textured top, close-cropped sides mass foreshortens toward the viewer while the far-right fall compresses toward the profile line; the part wrapping around the forehead curve.

• The left-side mass foreshortens toward the viewer.
• The far-right falls compress toward the profile edge.
• The fringe wraps around the forehead curve.

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-064)

Study these three focal points in order for Long Undercut at front left 3/4:

1. How the left-side textured top, close-cropped sides mass foreshortens toward the viewer while the far-right fall compresses toward the profile line; the part wrapping around the forehead curve.

2. The hard contrast edge edge quality and how 5 major chunks follow the skull curve.

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 Front Left 3/4

Drawing the far-side hair at the same width as the near side — with 5 major chunks, the far side should compress toward the profile edge.

Drawing both sides of the hair at the same width. At 3/4 the far-side volume should be thinner than the near side.

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.
