Sketch features and hair onto your figure’s head. Place the eyes just below the center of the circle add eyebrows slightly above them. Add the nose and eyes below the eyes in the middle of the face. Choose a hairstyle for your anime character and draw it in clumps rather than individual strands.
Your anime girl’s shoulders should be about 1 ½ times wider than the head.
Sketch an hourglass shape with 2 circles in it for the torso. Draw the top line of the hourglass shape slightly below the chin to form the shoulders. Draw curved lines going toward the center line, and flare out the bottom of the hourglass shape so it’s slightly wider than the shoulders for the hips.
1. Draw a head at the top of your paper. Place a circle near the top center of the page so there’s enough room to add hair later on. Put the point of the chin slightly outside the bottom edge of the circle since the jaw will come lower down.
The guide line will also help keep your drawing symmetrical.
Be careful not to erase the outline for your character or else you’ll have to redraw it.
Warning: Be careful not to draw the head too large or else you won’t be able to fit the rest of the body on the sheet of paper.
To help you can start your drawing by first making a vertical line through what will later be the middle of the body.
If you want to draw the body from different views but in the same position then you can project a set of lines from one view to the other. This will help you make sure that the proportions of the body in both views are roughly the same.
Step 1 – Anime Boy’s Body Proportions Breakdown. To make a character look younger you will usually want to draw them more slender than their older counterpart. Muscular characters will automatically tend to look older. A good way to measure the body is by using the head.
Anime boy full body drawing step by step. The boy in this tutorial can be anywhere from 10-15 years old. Depending on the artists style sometimes older anime characters can be drawn to still look fairly young. Generally the more stylized the characters the younger they tend to look (Chibi for example).
For the top part of the t-shirt draw it pretty much hugging the shape of the shoulders. Make the sleeves “fan out” towards the ends. As the shirt is not very tight leave some space between the body and the shirt as it will hang from the wider chest area.
In this case the shadows will be on the neck from the head and on the arms and legs from the sleeves of the shirt and the shorts.
For this tutorial the boy will be six and a half heads tall.
1. Use a pencil and draw a stick figure. Draw an egg shape for the head and then draw the rest of the body using lines. You should be able to find the pose you like easier this way. Keep the limbs of the body proportioned with the head, so that the head is not too big for the body.
Focus on making the face more round and the eyes young. Babies and children tend to have baby fat, so their bodies will have more circles than straight lines. The head will also be bigger in proportion to the body, which will give them a cuter look. Take a look at some chibis for a good (but exaggerated) example.
Step 1: Draw a small circle near the top of the paper as a guide for the top part of the manga boy’s head. To draw the circle, first make four marks to determine the height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines.
On the bottom end of the lines, draw a small circle as a guide for the knee. Pay attention to the size of this circle in relation to the top of the leg. Don’t draw it too big. Step 7: Under the knee, draw a couple more lines as guides for the lower part of the boy’s leg. The line on the left should be pretty straight.
Under the leg, draw a small triangular shape as a guide for the foot. Make the left side of this shape pointy. Pay attention to how long the shape for the foot is in relation to the rest of the leg. The bottom edge of the foot should be at the bottom-most mark for the head-height.
Curved the lines near the middle to create the knee section. Curve the line under the knee, on the left side, to create the calf muscle. Make the bottom of the shape right before the foot narrow. Step 15: Darken the shape at the bottom for the boy’s foot. Make the line curvier at the bottom for the foot’s sole.
