Anime vampire girl head top drawing. Begin the drawing by making a vertical line through the middle of your drawing area. This line can help you insure that both halves of the head/faces are of even width. Afterwards add a light oval (almost a circle) to represent the top of the head.
Position the mouth just slightly above the halfway point between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin. Draw it fairly wide and with a light curve to create a bit of a smile.
Going down from the circle add the lower part of the head. To make the character look more cute make this fairly small in relation to the upper part of the head and not very tall.
To position the eyes divide the face in half horizontally and place them with their top end slightly below the halfway mark. There is no one set position for the bottom part of the eyes. This will depend on how tall you wan them to be.
Add shadows in the following places: 1 Tiny shadows around the eyelids 2 Small shadows from the eyelashes over the top part of the eyes 3 Shadows on the face from the hair 4 Shadow on the neck from the head 5 Shaded area on the inner/back section of the hair
Place the nose with it’s bottom located at the same horizontal point as the bottom of the ears (between the upper part of the eyes and the bottom of the chin). In this case the nose will be drawn as a bit of a water drop shape. But you can even draw it as pretty much just a dot (as is so common in anime).
To draw serious anime eyes, first draw a horizontal line with a slight curve. Draw a short line coming down off of one end at a 45-degree angle to finish the top of the eye. Then, draw a short horizontal line centered under the first line to make the bottom of the eye. Draw an oval between the two lines to make the iris.
Widen the eyes to create a look of surprise. Draw the upper eyelids higher and the lower eyelids lower than normal so there are gaps between both the tops and bottoms of the pupils and the eyelids. This will make it look like your anime character is opening their eyes wide in shock.
If you want the light source to be on the left in your drawing, draw the big circle on the left side of the iris and the small circle on the right. If the light is on the right, swap the circles. For lighting that’s above the eye, draw the big circle at the top of the iris and the small circle at the bottom.
Draw a downward curving line for the upper eyelid. Make the length of the line as wide as you want the eye to be. Make the line thick near the middle, and then have it get gradually thinner the closer it gets to the ends. 2. Sketch a horizontal line that curves up at the ends for the lower eyelid.
If the light is to the left of the eye, draw the big circle on the left side of the iris and the small circle on the right. If the light is to the right, do the opposite.
Community Answer. In anime, characters often have colorful eyes depending on the art style. If you want to draw in a specific art style (eg: Black Butler), then pay attention to how dark or light the eyes are and how many highlights you should add.
A basic understanding of the anatomy of the eye. Knowing common elements that make most eyes look like anime eyes. A step-by-step approach to drawing anime eyes while implementing these common elements. A quick note, before going further, I will use the term anime to mean both anime and manga for simplicity.
A drop shadow from the upper eyelid covers the iris and the sclera one third or sometimes half of the way down. (Confused about what iris and sclera are? Scroll up to the anatomy section of this article, or click here to be taken there).
Upper eyelid crease. – The upper eyelid crease is a horizontal indent formed above the upper eyelid that appears in some people. Notably, it is prominently indicated in most anime eye drawings, and stylized into a curved line. It helps situate the anime eye drawing so it is a good idea to take notice of it.
– the iris is a ring shaped membrane, with an adjustable circular opening (pupil) in the center. The iris is what people talk about when they talk about eye color. (Some people confuse it with the pupil, so here is a tip to remember it better: eye color = iris color)
Highlights from at least 2 light sources. White or bright circles or ovals appearing in stylized anime eyes are representative of highlights on the surface of the eye. Note here that usually one highlight is dominant and is depicted larger, and the second subordinate and depicted smaller.
Fortunately, we all have a stylizer machine called the brain! In anime, there is a spectrum of on one end, very large anime looking eyes, and some on the other end, that are pretty realistic with some stylization flare. I tend to like something in the middle, although a lot depends on the artwork itself.
Degrees of realism and stylization. In anime and manga, eyes are drawn in various degrees of stylization. Human anatomy in anime is stylized often to the point of being unrealistic, yet still very recognizable as the anime counterpart of the real world person the artwork is describing. This is an important point.
