How to Draw Anime & Manga Faces & Heads in Profile Side View with Easy Step by Step Drawing Lessons

In drawing faces & heads, in any style (whether it be Manga & Anime, Cartooning, Illustration, or whatever), profiles help us understand the main differences of people’s heads. In Manga & Anime style illustration, drawing the face’s side view is often the most fun thing to do.

Step 1

You can start the profile view of the face with a simple circle. A circle shape is ideal for drawing the Anime / Manga face & head.

Step 2

Now draw a line horizontally through the center of the circle. Now you have 2 halves of the circle. Cut the bottom half of the circle in half horizontally again. Also draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the circle. See the picture above if I confused you.

Step 3

Now draw a line down the center of the circle vertically (up and down). Also draw a diagonal line from the left side of the center horizontal line down to the left side of the 2nd horizontal line…and keep the line going until you pass the 3rd horizontal line.

Step 4

Now we have all the guidelines in place to start drawing the Manga / Anime face in profile view. You can see that the diagonal line that we drew is a guideline for you to place the forehead and chin line. At the 2nd horizontal line is where you start the curve for the nose. At the bottom horizontal line is where you start the lips.

Step 5

Now draw the eye behind the diaganol line, in between the first and second horizontal line (the same space as the ear).

Step 6

Now fill in the details of the eyes. We don’t have a profile view eye tutorial yet, but we do have 2 eye tutorials ( Drawing Female Eyes) and ( Drawing Male Eyes )… these might help you draw in the details of the eyes..basically, draw a large oval in the eye, fill it in, except for an oval highlight at the top right of the eye).
