Hair design reference showing a female anime character with a twintails hairstyle from a back angle.

1. Structure of Twintails — divided high · smooth straight tails

Twintails gather the hair high into two symmetrical tails, one on each side. Establish the high part and the two tie points, then let each tail flare outward in a teardrop or bell shape. Keep the two tails mirrored so the silhouette stays balanced.

For this exact piece the key specs are: 5 major chunks, bell-shaped flare edges, high parted, and dynamic movement. The silhouette reads as two high symmetrical tails flaring outward in bell shapes.

Distinctive traits to nail: two mirrored high tie points; bell-shaped tail flare; symmetrical left/right balance. If your sketch captures those three, the style will read even at thumbnail size.

• Part: high, with two mirrored tie points.
• Tails: flare outward in a teardrop or bell shape.
• Balance: keep the two tails mirrored and even.

2. Drawing It at the Back Angle

From directly behind, the hair replaces the face entirely. The silhouette and the way the hair falls define the drawing: establish the outer shape, then map the internal strand direction with long flowing lines down the back.

Block the two high symmetrical tails flaring outward in bell shapes first, then carve 5 major chunks following the crown flow before refining the bell-shaped flare ends. At the back angle, the hair mass dominates; place the visible face slice last.

Angle-specific focus for this reference: the full smooth straight tails silhouette replacing the face; the part structure and strand direction down the back with bell-shaped flare ends.

• The silhouette alone carries the drawing.
• Map internal strand direction with long flowing lines.
• Show parting or braiding structure if present.

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 twintails the medium weight and divided high volume interact with the female head shape: keep the hairline softer and lower and let the high parted do the framing work.

4. What to Watch in This Exact Reference (hair-ref-117)

Study these three focal points in order for Twintails at back:

1. The full smooth straight tails silhouette replacing the face; the part structure and strand direction down the back with bell-shaped flare ends.

2. The bell-shaped flare edge quality and how 5 major chunks follow the profile contour.

3. Where the high parted sits relative to the eye-line and whether strands break the forehead line.

Twintails are all about symmetry and the bell shape of each tail. Study how the tie point sits high on the head and how each tail flares outward and slightly downward. The two tails should be mirror images of each other.

5. Common Mistakes for Twintails at Back

Over-detailing the interior — from behind, the two high symmetrical tails flaring outward in bell shapes and its strand direction are enough; keep interior lines sparse.

Adding too much interior detail to back-view hair. From behind, the silhouette and part line are enough — interior strands should be sparse.

Style-specific check: Making the two tails different sizes or shapes. Twintails are symmetrical by definition — if one tail is longer or wider than the other, the design reads as accidental, not stylistic.
