   For some different hairstyles on our Celtic People, there are a few variations you can try and mix and match between. The Man we did in the Tutorial would have had plain or straight hair, but there are many other styles shown in the Book of Kells, which I'll go through here.

  • The first Man here would be sporting wavy hair. There are small "bumps" added around the hair, to give the impression of more body, and as well the bangs have been drawn out and tapered, so that they can be knotted up, and maybe attached afterwards to his beard or another lock of hair.

  • The second Man would have quite curly hair. The "bumps" are more defined, and as well are outlined again inside the hair, giving the impression of even more curls. His bangs have the nub ending that we used in the Tutorial examples, but it could have been drawn out and knotted like the previous fellow's.

  • The last Man has spiky curly hair. There are a few "bumps" around it, and as well the curly bangs, which show another way of drawing curly hair as well. The angular way the hair was drawn on the upper part of his head by his face suggests more of a spiky appearance, which is supported by the fact that he has the shorter hair. Any of these hairstyles could be used, or mix and matched for either Men or Women.
