This is probably the hardest one for me to draw now. Of course, I can’t draw it as well as Togashi :[įinally, Yusuke’s “bed head” hairstyle (I believe the first appearance of the version I’ve drawn here is when Keiko is updating him on the shenanigans from the fake ghost case while he’s still in bed, and you see it again in the final chapter where Genkai’s will is unveiled - it’s like he ran out of hairgel or got lazy or has been rolling around or his hair is wilting lol). It looks more mature and sophisticated! They tried to do it in the anime as well it isn’t quite as obvious there. The hairstyle he sports when he proposes to Keiko is slightly different from his default and has a really cool wave when you look at it in profile from his left. At least it is a pretty distinct design compared to other characters with short dark hair and bangs.

But hilariously enough I’m finding it harder to draw for some reason now? It’s like it is deceptively easier to get the general look down, but harder to I DON’T KNOW I think it’s the long bangs and the fact that it’s pretty symmetrical that makes it more challenging.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen comments where people are all “WHY DOESN’T HE LEAVE HIS HAIR LIKE THIS, HE LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER WHY” (answer: because it doesn’t cultivate the badass super delinquent image he’s worked so hard to establish, obviously). As he walked by, she could sense he was different. Unsurprisingly, his “down” hairstyle is extremely popular. His red hair flowed down to the middle of his back where a small black backpack hung on one shoulder. What finally worked for me when I started drawing him again recently was to just make it as messy as possible lol When I was a kid, his default slicked back hairstyle was one of the most difficult things in the world to draw and I could never get it right. Despite his short size, he has a lean, muscular build to him. His height is never mentioned in the anime or manga, aside from the DT reference. At the end of the series, an artbook puts him at 5'3'. It’s a dumb long-running joke I have that you can tell how determined/ambitious someone is by whether they draw Yusuke with his hair up or down (and whether or not Kuwabara appears lol). Hiei is the shortest of the four main characters at only 4' 10' during the Dark Tournament (excluding his hair) as stated by Juri. Usual (series default / most recognizable) That little detail made them feel that much more real. Yusuke and Keiko, for instance, both had quite a few different ones. One of the (many) things I always liked about YYH, especially in the manga, was how much some of the characters played with their own appearances in terms of their hairstyles. A few hairstyles of Urameshi Yusuke! aka more brush pen practice
