Step 1: Draw the Face

Grab your pencil and draw a curve with a point at the end of it. Make sure that both sides of the face are symmetrical.

Step 2: Draw the Neck

The neck is very simple to draw. It's just two curved " l's " back to back.

Step 4: Draw the Tiny Nose

The nose is another simple step! It's just a tiny flick or dot if you want it to be.

Step 5: Add the Mouth

You can show many expressions with the mouth, so it's up to you to decide what she doing with her mouth. I'm going to make her excited because everyone loves a happy anime character!

Step 6: Now for the Glamorous Hair!

This step is also one of my favourite steps because I love drawing hair! It can show a lot about your character.

Step 7: Draw Blush and Eyebrows on Your Character's Face

All you need to do is draw two squiggles. One at one side of the face, one at the other. This will make your anime character cute! I didn't want to draw eyebrows because I thought it had enough expression. You could add eyebrows if you want.

Step 8: Finish With Some Colour

You don't have to add colour but you can if you want to. I personally don't like colouring, mainly because I'm not good at it!

How to draw female anime?

Keep that in mind when drawing features. Female chins and noses are drawn with carefully rounded lines, while male counterparts are drawn with harsher more prominent angles. This is of course not always the case, but keep this in mind so that you can manipulate your drawing to whatever you see fit.

Drawing a pretty stylized face is difficult mainly because very small changes create large visual results. This means we must set our expectations wisely, and get ready for small adjustments and corrections as we try to perfect a drawing of an anime girl face. Study by Gvaat.

What is the difference between anime and manga?

What are the most notable things about anime?

The most notable are the eyes . The eyes usually appear larger. Eyebrows appear smaller than their average counterparts in real life. (For a super detailed look at how to draw Anime eyes, check this tutorial ). So do the noses, and mouths. (I have a tutorial on drawing lips and mouths in Anime style as well, you can find it here .)

Is it hard to draw hair in anime?

Drawing hair is difficult. Here are some tips on drawing hair for your Anime girl face drawing:

Do all manga artists know how to draw a human head?

Trust me when I tell you that all, yes all great Manga artists know how to draw a realistic human head. What’s more, they know how to draw it really, really well. Do not skip learning anatomy and construction of the face and try not to dive right into drawing in the Anime style, before understanding the basics of construction.

Where do you draw the most beautiful lines?

To achieve this, try to put down confident pencil strokes that come from the shoulder and the elbow, and less so from the wrist .

Step 1: DRAW a CIRCLE

This circle will be the fundamental element for today's guide. It will serve as a proportion for the face and hair and everything.

Step 2: DRAW THE REST OF YOUR FACE

After you draw the circle, draw two lines both pointing inwards at a tiny degree, and connect them like in the picture. Draw another line straight through to the chin.

Step 3: DRAW THE MOUTH

Draw the mouth. It can be closed, opened, teeth gritted, frowning, whatever. You have to draw the mouth so that the line going straight through the head would be in the middle.

Step 4: DRAW THE EYES AND NOSE

Again, you can do anything with the eyes. You have to draw the eyes above the bottom part of the circle. The nose would be where the bottom part of the circle meets with the vertical line.

Step 5: DRAW THE HAIR

I decided to put the anime girl's hair into a ponytail (you'll see later), but honestly it doesn't matter. You can do any type of hairstyle you want. I put her hair in a blue bow.

Step 6: DRAW ON THE NECK

This is an optional, but I did it. Draw the neck. It can't be too wide, or too thing. After you finish the neck, branch it off to opposite directions to make the shoulders.

Step 7: TRACE THE PICTURE WITH a SHARPIE

I used a Sharpie pen because I work best with those, but using a thin Sharpie marker could work too. Then erase all the pencil marks.
