How to draw a male mouth in anime?

Finally position the mouth by drawing a line between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin. This line will give you the position of the bottom lip. Draw the top lip just slightly above this. You can give a hint of the bottom lip with one short line.

How to draw a straight line from the tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin?

How to add shadows to a swatch?

How to draw a manga boy's head?

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.

How to draw a boy's leg?

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.

How to make a boy's foot?

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.

Where should the bottom edge of the forearms be?

The bottom edge of the forearms should be along third head-height-mark. Notice how the lines for the forearms slope to the left toward the front of the leg. Below the wrist, draw a small, oval-like shape as a guide for the hand. The left edge of the hand should graze the side of the leg. That’s it for the guides!

Step 1: Draw The Eye

As the first step, we will draw the eye. I draw the eyelashes, usually starting from the left side and then go down to the right side. Since this is a male character, the eyelashes will be kept pretty simple because if you draw too many, it will start to look like a female’s eye.

Step 2: Draw Nose And Forehead

Next, we start to draw the nose and the forehead. I don’t have any exact measures of how or where you start the bridge of the nose and forehead, but you can always correct the lines later on if a feature seems out of place.

Step 3: Draw Lips, Chin, And Shape Of The Head

Start to draw the lips following a downward curve rather than just drawing everything in a straight line. Next, follow the line and draw the chin.

Step 4: Draw Neck And Ears

Moving on to the neck, following the back of the head -line. Keep it subtle just to give a hint of what it could look like in the end.

Step 5: Draw Jawline And Hair (optional)

Here then, you draw the jawline. At first, it is not very precise. So you can just sketch, trying to find the look of what it potentially may become as the final result—just feeling how it should go or how it could go.

Conclusion

As you can see, even though we didn’t have any rulers or guidelines or anything, you can draw an anime face from a profile view just by drawing the face and the eyes first.

Step 1 – Drawing The Head

  • Front View
    Draw a vertical line for the middle of the head to help you see if both sides are even. Make the top part of the head close to a circle and from there project two lines angled inwards towards the middle of the face followed by a set of curves and two more angled lines pointing further inward…
  • Side View
    Draw the top of the head close to an oval in shape. Make a small bump around the eyebrow areas followed by an indent that transitions into the nose area. You can see step four of this tutorial for positioning the nose. But do your best to estimate it’s placement at this point. Also at this stage …

Step 2 – Drawing The Ears

  • To position the ears draw a vertical line through the middle of the head and another line between that and the chin. Draw the ears with their top and bottom between the two lines. You can see the inner details of the ears above but you may want to save drawing these for after you place the rest of the facial features.

Step 3 – Drawing The Eyes

  • The bigger and wider you draw the eyes the younger your character will look. In this case the character is a young adult (or close) so the eyes will be smaller then those of a boy. Draw the eyes with their top portion touching the horizontal halfway point through the face (use the line from the previous step) and leave enough space between them to fit another eye. Please note that the ey…

Step 4 – Drawing The Nose

  • Place the details of the nose so that its bottom would be at the halfway point/line between the top of the eyes and the bottom of the chin. Please note that the actual bottom of the nose will not be draw. Show the nose by drawing a small vertical line for the bridge and giving a hint of one of the nostrils (slightly above the placement line). If you are drawing the side view of the nose you will …

Step 5 – Drawing The Mouth

  • Finally position the mouth by drawing a line between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin. This line will give you the position of the bottom lip. Draw the top lip just slightly above this. You can give a hint of the bottom lip with one short line. Draw the mouth itself with a light curve and a small break int the middle. Also please note that generally adult or older teenager male ani…

Step 6 – Drawing The Hair

  • Draw the hair over top of the head. The reason why you want to draw this way instead of just drawing the hair right away is because being able to see what the head looks like will help you position the facial features (as done in previous steps). It will also help you place the hair itself as you can see exactly how it sits on the head. For a more detailed explanation on “see through” dra…

Step 7 – Drawing The Details & Finishing The Line Drawing

  • Erase the parts of the head hidden by the hair and add the smaller details of the eyes such as the pupils and highlights. Afterwards you can also go over your drawing with darker lines and add black fill or pencil shading (depending on what you are drawing with) to parts of the eyes and eyebrows. For the full step by step breakdown of drawing male anime eyes see: How to Draw M…

Step 8 – Add Some Shading

  • For some very basic anime style shading (also known as “Cel Shading”) add it in places where shadows are most likely to occur in general lighting conditions. For some simple shading with no gradients you can add the following: 1. Small drop shadows from the hair on the forehead and sides of the face 2. Tiny shadows around the eyelids and top part of the white of the eyes 3. Inne…

Conclusion

  • Male anime heads and faces can vary depending on style but generally the older the character the more they tend to differ from their female counterparts. Younger characters usually have faces very similar to females while older characters are often drawn with longer faces, smaller eyes and better overall defined facial features. For drawing a similar face in 3/4 view see: How to Draw M…
