Anime Character Hair

Hello everyone~

I am a second year student at Atlantic University here in PuertoRico. I am currently working on a bust of Kirito from Sword Art Online for my Zbrush class, specifically Kirito during season 2 of the anime. I am having trouble with the hair (seeing as I’ve never done it before) so I was wondering if anyone had any good tips or tutorials that may help me. I’d really appreciate it.

Just a general tip for anime characters; look at figures of them. I find it makes things easier to think of how the form might translate to 3d vs a flat drawing. Figma has a Kirito figure so you can be even more specific with your reference.

Sorry I didn’t post my reference ><
Here is the one I’m using
I’m fairly new to the program and I’m still fumbling around with the basics
I’ve got the face down pretty well now I just need to do the hair but I’m not sure where to start.
We we’re given a tutorial on doing hair with Zspheres but I attempted it and its not the result I wanted.
