How to Draw Various Characters from Sailor Moon Series
Hotaru Tomoe /  Sailor Saturn
Head Shot at Side View

.
1.  Using what you already learned from drawing Usagi (Serena), sketch a head at an angle like this picture:
2. Work on her profile like this picture. Hotaru of SMStars should look younger while Hotaru in SMS should look bit older.
3. You know where the hairline on forehead is right (as marked in the picture) right? Draw the first set of bangs as shown in the diagram, and the length of her hair
4. Starting from the first set of bangs, draw the lines to form the rest of her bangs (ends of the hair bangs should be as if cut horizontally, not pointed).
  Lightly sketch the rest of her hair on her scaple so to make sure that her hair is not out of proportion in respect to her skull.
5. Add any necessary details and critique it as you draw it with softer pencil.
6. All done! Each artist have different ways of drawing Hotaru, so it's common to see some variety in how Hotaru's hair is arranged. I arranged her hair like this in response to the gravity, because according to a barber, asiatic hair are generally straighter and heavier than those of western people. You can try a different way of drawing Hotaru if you like.
   Also, Hotaru in SMS look older and gloomier than Hotaru in SMStars (younger age). Hotaru of SMS also seemed to have thicker hair
 (I really like how I drew her profile....^_^)
