Sketching Caps and Bandannas


Elc from Arc the Lad II and Jack from Harvest Moon are my favorite subjects for this matter. 


Today's sketch was inspired by an Art resource Blog in Tumblr.

One of the lessons that inspired me was how to place items on/around the head.

To be honest, after decades of sketching, one of my weaknesses are drawing bandannas and caps on figures.

I think I've had such difficulty because, my usual style involves:

1. Draw head
2. Draw the side of the bandanna/cap
3. Draw hair
4. Realize head looks hideous
5. Add bangs. 

I bypass this weakness by creating "bangs" for such characters. After reading the resource blog, I decided to play around:

1. Draw head 
2. Draw the coverage of the bandanna/cap
3. Draw the hair (imagine how the hair would compress/move due to the object's presence)
4. Be satisfied.
5. Identify what needs to be improved.
