High Ponytail

High ponytails are the epitome of energy and activity in anime art. This can vary from a well-groomed and disciplined look for a warrior to a disheveled and high-volume look that bounces around with each movement. As you'll probably notice, the artist has used the 'arc' of the ponytail to signify a sense of direction and movement, especially in a dramatic fight scene or a fast-paced sport.

This style usually includes hard lines for the hair tie and softer lines for the length of the ponytail. Sometimes the artist may also add a few stray hairs or a blur to signify movement. And let's be honest, a high ponytail looks amazing as a phone lock screen – it's a solid look!
