Some of the characteristics of the Harrow Painter's drawing have already been mentioned. Clavicles are often hooked and sometimes pointed; occasionally they are not hooked at all. Eyes are formed of shallow, opposing curves, open at the inner corner, with a black pupil (Illustration 18 and Illustration 19). In a few cases, the relief lines contouring the eyes are edged with dilute glaze.[21] Ears may be scroll-shaped (Illustration 20), but often are simply outlined by the line of the hair (Illustratino 21 and Illustration 22). Male figures may have rounded pectorals with a triangle below the midline, or right-angle midlines and no triangle.

Men's beards are normally pointed and, on obverse figures at least, fringed (Illustration 23, Illustration 24, and Illustration 25). Satyrs have shorter beards, but with extra-long fringes for an appropriately wild look.

The hair of males and satyrs often lies quite low over the forehead, like a cap (Illustration 26 and Illustration 27), and various shades of dilute glaze are used for different textures of hair, such as the wispy sideburns of the young Theseus or the balding pate of Nereus, both on the column-krater Harvard 1960.339, discussed below (Illustration 28; Illustration 29). At least two figures have hair rendered with relief dots.[22]
