Floating Hair

Draw anime with floating hair for its beauty and expression. REAL HAIR ONLY Floats in water or zero gravity, but anime always uses it to symbolize power, emotion, or supernatural presence. This trope is common and alerts the audience to something magical or intense, even if it breaks the laws of physics to create a dramatic scene.

Various artists use this tag. Most popular is the "power up" or supernatural float. The hair of Studio Ghibli characters puffs up or floats violently when they are angry or use deep magic. Sometimes a character casts a huge spell or releases their aura in shounen and fantasy shows. They appear to radiate energy from their hair. Also used for aesthetics is the zero gravity look. There are scenes underwater, dream sequences, and characters falling through the sky with smooth, looping ribbons of hair.

Because it loosens the character's silhouette, drawing floating hair is satisfying for artists. The artist can twist hair around the character into ribbons and clumps instead of just hanging it on the shoulders, directing the viewer's eye. Motion, glowing magical effects, and big, sweeping curves characterize wallpapers in this tag.
