Stage 1. The skeleton of the image. Drawing begins with the fact that the author makes sketches, determining the location of the head, body, arms and legs. To do this, draw light lines, as shown in the figure below.
Stage 2. Now you can begin to image the character’s body.
How to draw an anime girl: head
We will depict the head in the form of "three quarters." To do this, draw a circle so that the vertical auxiliary line is shifted to the left. So:
1. Determine the place where the chin should be, and draw a little dash there.
2. Draw to its ends two tangents from the sides of the circle.
3. Based on the lines drawn, draw rounded triangles to form the character's cheeks.
4. Draw the eyes, mouth, and nose.
How to draw an anime girl: hair
The hair of an anime character can be very diverse. It can be dissolved or collected in a neat tail. To make the result more beautiful, it is recommended to create small hair details by grouping them into a strand. So it should form a head of hair. The tip of the strand should curl more strongly below, so the general view is more interesting. You can detail the hair as much as imagination allows.
How to draw an anime girl: body
From the head gently draw the neck. When drawing shoulders, do not forget that one of them should be shorter than the other, because the anime character we are drawing is standing sideways to us. Make a light outline of the waist.
The biggest difficulty at this stage is to draw the chest. It can turn out unnatural and similar to balloons. To avoid this, follow our advice. The thing is that you need to clearly know the shape and location of the breasts. They should look like inverted cups or halves of a sphere. Now let's talk about the location. Imagine a vertical line running through the center of the body from head to toe. The breasts should be located at an angle of 45 degrees relative to her and somewhere in the middle of the chest.
Stage 3. Now you need to draw the hands of the anime heroine. If there are no problems in creating a drawing of the humerus and forearms, then there can be difficulties in the image of the brushes. To understand the location of the fingers on the hand, let's look at the algorithm for drawing a hand with outstretched fingers:
1. First draw an oval and put a dot in the center of its lower part.
2. Five straight lines (future fingers) are drawn from it.
3. Fill them with flesh. The index and ring fingers should be almost equal in length. The little finger ends on the upper joint of the ring finger. The thumb should be so long as to reach the index finger. Focusing on the foregoing, depict the desired shape of the brush. At this stage, you can start drawing clothes, but you can do this later.
Step 4. Next, draw the legs of the anime girl. For this, the hips and lower leg are first depicted in the form of small cylinders, then they are already adjusted. The forefoot can be formed in the form of a half nut, and the heel - rounded. On this basis, you can get the desired result.
Step 5. If you haven’t painted clothes yet, do it now.
Step 6. When the sketches are ready, circle the pattern with a black marker.
Step 7. Final step: remove the unnecessary lines with the eraser.
