To place anime eyes on the head form the side view (or front view) simply divide the head in two vertically and draw the eyes below that line. Real eyes are located directly on the halfway line. If you are drawing in a more realistic anime style you may consider moving the eyes further up.

A “striped” anime blush is made with just a few line strokes and is fairly easy to draw. Simply make two sets of angled lines around the cheek areas. For a nicer looking blush make the outer stripes a bit shorter and the inner stripes a bit longer. Aim for a combined shape that can fit inside a stretched oval.

Though actual irises of the eyes don’t change size they are often drawn smaller in anime to give a character a really scared look. As anime eyes tend to already be fairly wide drawing them even wider may make a character look too deformed so the solution is to draw smaller irises.
In the above example you can see the basic proportions for drawing an anime face. Draw the eye below the vertical halfway point of the head, draw the nose roughly between that and the chin, draw the bottom lip roughly between the chin and the nose with the mouth slightly above it. Draw the ear s starting from the top of the yes to roughly ...
For a wider open mouth be away that the jaw does not drop directly down when the mouth opens but also swings backwards towards the neck. Draw the jaw lower down and farther back towards the neck.
For an upset look (more so than the previous example) draw the eyebrows raised towards the nose with the eyes squinted. Draw the mouth slightly longer than in the previous example with the mouth corner going a little further downwards.
For drawing an open mouth an important thing to note is that the jaw will be lower down. Also keep in mind that it is only the lower jaw that moves when the mouth is opens. The upper jaw stays in place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Now draw the eye behind the diaganol line, in between the first and second horizontal line (the same space as the ear).
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).
To draw anime lips form the side view you can first draw a line from the tip of the nose to the curve of the chin. You can then use this line to horizontally position the lips.
To vertically place an anime mouth on the head in the side view you can start by placing the bottom lip about 1/8 of the total height of the head up from the chin. The mouth will be slightly above that.
The jaw does not simply lower down like an elevator but instead swings down more like a door swings on it’s hinges but unlike a door it also moves slightly forward. Excluding the lips the top part of the mouth does not move. For a lot more on drawing anime teeth see: How to Draw Anime & Manga Teeth Tutorial.
