Then, draw the head, neck, and torso with a waistline on top of the stick figure outline. Finish the body by drawing the limbs, using the joints to guide you.

Can you design your own anime character?

If you want to draw your favorite anime character or even one of your own, designing the body can seem like a challenge. Anime characters can vary in shape and size, but start by drawing them with human proportions before modifying them into your own design.

How to make a pointed chin for an anime girl?

Put the point of the chin slightly outside the bottom edge of the circle since the jaw will come lower down. Sketch in curved jaw lines from either side of the circle toward the mark you just made to make a pointed chin for your anime girl. Work lightly in pencil so you can erase and make changes if you need to.

Tips

Take reference photos of different poses and angles so you can practice drawing anime bodies in action. Trace over the pictures so you can understand the anatomy better.
