Final Words…
Black hair can denote a villain or a hero. Some of the hairstyles are outlandish while others are quite conservative. One thing that seems to be common is that anime guys with black hair typically wear the hair in a medium to long length. There are a few depicted with short hair.
It is not uncommon to see characters drawn for anime that have their hair cut to a medium length, even long hair with a fringe that hangs down in the face and partially obscures one eye. This is reminiscent of one of the more popular emo hairstyles.
Spikes are another common feature seen on anime guys with black hair. The spikes can point forward or stand straight out from the head, depending on the character’s status as a villain or hero. They are drawn pointing forward more often than not.
Who is the guy from the second pic? Do you know from which anime or artist he’s?
Lisa I could be wrong but it looks a lot like a fan art of Fakir from Princess Tutu (a few scenes show him with his hair down)
