This tutorial is great for beginner artists (both kids and adults) who want to improve their drawing skills.

Bangs are a great way to frame your face and add an extra dose of style to any look. Whether you have long hair, straight hair, braided hair, or curly hair, bangs can be the perfect finishing touch.

• Straight bangs are the most common of all bang styles. To achieve this look, take a section of hair at the front of your head and cut it straight across the forehead. Be sure to keep the length consistent and even for a symmetrical look. You can also add layers to create texture within your bangs.

• Shorter bangs are perfect for those who prefer a more subtle look. To get this style, take a section of hair at the front of your head and cut it at an angle that is slightly shorter than straight bangs. This can give you a softer, less intense look than with straight bangs.

• Long bangs can be achieved by taking a wider section of hair at the front of your head and cutting it longer than straight bangs. This style can be great for those who have a more prominent forehead, as it helps to cover up some of the areas.

• Finally, side bangs are an excellent option for those looking to add drama to their look. To achieve this style, take a section of hair at the sides of your head and angle it so that it falls across your face. This style can be a great way to show off your facial features in an interesting way.

Whichever style you choose, make sure to experiment with different lengths and angles to find what works best for you. With a few simple steps, you’ll be able to rock any of these bang styles confidently!
