Twin Braids

Twin braids can be considered a total classic in anime character designs. This can range from disciplined schoolgirl hair to messy bohemian braids that give off a rustic look. What you'll notice is that artists often use the weaving of the braids to highlight detailed lines and small light reflection details that give off a three-dimensional look.

The look itself tends to have small color gradations with microdetails such as hair ties with colors or small flower accessories. Character artists enjoy working with braids because of the framing of the face in close-up shots. They also tend to blur the background slightly to emphasize the hair. Also, let’s admit it; there’s just something wholesome and stylish about the look for a clean phone lock screen.
