How to Draw An Anime Girl

First, get materials. What you'll need is:

• A pencil
• An eraser
• A blank piece of paper
• A black pen

Once you've gathered your materials, your ready to start.

First we're going to draw the head. What you'll need to do is draw a simple circle, then draw a line curving down the right going past the circle. Then, draw a second line curving down the left but stopping at the edge of the circle. Connect those two lines with yet another curving one.

After, connect said line with another curving line from the opposite end of the circle. Adjust that line to make it look more delicate since it's a girl.

If you need help with that step, look at this:

Next, we're going to do the hair. The easy thing about this is that anime girls hair is that it varies so there's no general style. Today, we're going to make this girls hair wavy and thick. Basically, you need to draw the outline of the hair first. Then all you need to draw is the waves of the hair. Then shade the hair in a verticle direction.

Next, draw the neck. Make sure to make it thin. This is usually the easiest step. Also, make sure to draw the shoulders.

Your drawing should be close to this. If not, don't worry, it's an example.

Next we're going to do the eyes. The eyes are usually large with a lot of detail. Draw to parallel curved lines, with a thick oval or circle(which ever way you'd like to go) in the middle. Draw a smaller circle in the middle, because a lot of anime eyes have light in them. Draw a smaller, shaded in circle in the middle of your circle/oval to show the pupil. Shade in the rest of the eye. After wards, draw a thin line over each eye for the eyebrow.  If you need help, look at this.

Now we're going to do the mouth and nose. This is where you get to show emotion in your drawing. She can be sad, happy, smug, any emotion you choose. For the nose, it's really just a small line in the middle of the face. It could be more triangular, but that depends on which way your girl is facing.

For the mouth, take a look at these examples:

Now we get to erase unwanted lines. Like your circle, and other stray lines.  You can add clothes and other details now. Feel free to color.

And that's how you draw an anime girl.
