Two-tone Hair

Two-tone hair is a total game-changer for character design. Whether it's a simple color scheme with a straight vertical line separating them, or a more subtle look with dip-dyed ends, two-toned hair adds incredible depth to a character's appearance. Note that it's also a clear indicator of a bold personality or a particular elemental ability.

The style has a clear focus on crisp color transitions and subtle gradient effects, such as neon pink and dark onyx, or pastel lavender and pure white. Artists working on characters will frequently utilize light to accentuate the two-toned look, especially against dark backgrounds. And let's be honest, it's one of the most stylish ways to make a protagonist stand out from the crowd.
