2. Next, draw the hair. For each lock of hair, draw two curved lines that meet in a sharp or gently point. Notice that the lines, and therefore the locks, are of different lengths. Overlap the curved lines, following the rouned shape of both the hairline and the top of the head. Continue to draw locks of hair until the hair is completely enclosed.

3. Draw the shirt collar and the scarf. For the collar, enclose three irregular shapes just below the head. From the collar, extend two roughly parallel lines downward. Connect them at the bottom with a short line. From this, extend many short lines, forming the fringe of the scarf. Connect the portions of the collar using a curved line, and double it back upon itself to enclose the remainder of the scarf.
