Asymmetrical Bangs

Asymmetrical bangs are a total game-changer for character silhouettes. Asymmetrical bangs can vary from a slight asymmetry in the hair to a dramatic look where the hair is cut in a diagonal line that covers the character's eye completely. You will often see the use of jagged hair frames to imply the edgy personality or mysterious background of the character, particularly in a cyberpunk or dark fantasy environment.

This look is often characterized by clean line work and high contrast shading to differentiate the varying lengths of the hair. Character artists particularly enjoy the asymmetrical composition for the interesting facial profile it creates for a close-up character portrait. Let's face it, asymmetrical bangs also have a certain "cool factor" that is perfect for a modern minimalist phone lock screen.
