“The midfielders also need to draw out an opposition defender to then put the pass through. I do see this performance as an improvement if we can only carry on certain moves and approaches for the whole game. “It was the choice of defending deeper that cost us because that was a choice. When we attacked Barcelona, we caused them a lot of problems.”

Draw the outline of the body as follows: Make a vertical line through the middle of the drawing area to help see if both sides of the body will be of relatively equal width. Draw a hint of the head (or the entire head if it’s easier for you). Add the neck going down from the bottom of the ears.
You can draw each side of the chest with four sets of curves. The first one should somewhat face towards the shoulders, the next one can follow the angle of the collar bones. The third curve can be along the center line drawn in the first step. Finally for the last curve draw it’s line going slightly downwards in a light curve and then going back up again in a fairly sharp curve towards the start of the first curve.
Draw the outline of the body as follows: 1 Make a vertical line through the middle of the drawing area to help see if both sides of the body will be of relatively equal width. 2 Draw a hint of the head (or the entire head if it’s easier for you). 3 Add the neck going down from the bottom of the ears. You can draw it just a tiny bit wider towards the bottom. 4 Going downwards from the neck in light curves draw the trapezius muscles. 5 Down from the trapezius draw the shoulders with just one curve each. 6 Add a hint of the arms. Make them fairly thick as this is a muscular character. 7 Down from the arms draw the body getting narrower and then doing a sort of “wave shape” around the waist area where it gets wider and then narrower again. 8 From the waist area the body will get wider again as it transitions into the hip/leg areas.
Draw the shoulder muscles sort of “cutting” into the arm where they then split into the arm muscles such as the biceps.
Going downwards from the neck in light curves draw the trapezius muscles.
It’s important to note this as sometimes anime characters can be drawn with very exaggerated proportions to look absolutely huge. If drawing on paper it’s recommended that you make light lines up until the final step of the tutorial. This will make it easier to erase any potential mistakes.
Finally to finish the drawing you can add all of the smaller details and curves of the different muscles groups. You can also erase the center line and go over your drawing with a darker stroke.
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).
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.
Draw the shorts starting from the bottom of the shirt (pretty much touch ing the legs) and then fanning out slightly as they go down.
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.
Male anime character face drawing step by step. Draw the basic shape of the head starting with a vertical line to help you make sure both halves are even. Position the facial features as described earlier. Draw the hair after placing all of the facial features.
To draw a male “protagonist” character with their normal expressions draw the eyebrows in their natural position and draw the eyes with fairly large pupils/irises. If you want a friendly looking character draw the mouth with a light smile.
For the scared face draw the “henchman” with their eyes wide open and the eyebrows raised. Draw the irises smaller than normal with some white space between the them and the top and bottom eyelids.
The “delinquent” character tends to be a bully or a thug. Usually these are negative characters that give other characters in the anime or manga a hard time.
For the happy expression of the “average guy” draw the eyebrows slightly raised and the eyes slightly squinted. Draw the mouth with a smile. Leave the inside of the mouth white to indicate that its the teeth that are showing but don’t actually draw any hint of them, this will make the character look more friendly.
Anime guy face drawing. The “average guy” character is usually meant to be someone the viewer can relate to or cheer for. These are often the protagonists of anime shows and manga or the lead male character if the protagonist is a female. Somewhat messy medium length hair is very common for these types of characters.
Before going into drawing specific character archetypes it’s a good idea to first analyze the characteristic features of male anime faces. While there is quite a bit of variation in the anime and manga style generally all anime characters tend to have large eyes, small noses amd simplified mouths with no lips.
