1. 1

   Draw some guidelines. A circle for the head, with two triangular shapes on top for the ears.

2. 2

   Add the guidelines for the center of the circle. This will be used to determine where the features are going to be. There should be a vertical line down the center of the head and one horizontal line about 1/4 to 1/3 up from the bottom of the circle.

3. 3

   Add a couple of circles for where the eyes are going to be. They should be along the horizontal guideline you drew before.

4. 4

   Add the guidelines for the hair. This can just be a simple shape, just to outline what the hair is going to look like. Having long sideburns is a good idea to cover where the human ears would be. It can be a little strange when there are 2 sets of ears. And no one likes a bald cat girl.

5. 5

   Add the chin and the rest of the facial features, including the ears. The bottom of the chin should be as far from the top of the eyes as the top of the eyes are from the top of the head. The top of the eyes are should be the middle of an anime girl's head.

6. 6

   Detail the hair. With anime, hair can be incredibly complicated or very simple. Decorate the hair depending on your skill level.

7. 7

   Fill out the eyes. Anime eyes can seem complicated to beginners. Just try to breakdown the individual parts of anime eyes. Here there are 3 shapes, the upper shape, the lower C shape, and the square highlight shape.

8. 8

   Erase the guidelines that you don't need. If you drew it digitally, turn off the lower layer. If you drew the sketch with pencil and then went over it with ink, erase the pencil. If you only used pencil, erase only the guidelines.

9. 9

   Finished just add some colour. Though adding color is a tutorial in and of itself. So don't worry about that yet.

• Question

  Why do anime eyes have to be so complicated to draw?

  

  If they weren't complicated they would look more simple, and it would be harder to make the eyes show emotions.

• Question

  Do I have to add all the details in the hair?

  

  No, you do not have to add all of the details in the hair. You can add as many details as you like.

• Question

  How can I draw the ears? It's so hard for me.

  

  Just make triangles without bottoms. You can also make them curvy.

• Question

  Do I have to add the lines to the face? Why?

  

  Once you draw the face details, it is easier to show emotions. For example, with facial details it is easier to show when a character blushes.

• Question

  Should the ears be alike?

  

  They can be different if you would like. It is your decision. Personally, I would put one flopping a bit to the side.

• Question

  Does this have to be on computer or can it be paper?

  It's easier than you think! It's kind of like making an exclamation mark (!), but you make the bottom dot a bit longer.

• Question

  How do you shade the hair and eyes like that? Do you do it on a computer?

  

  Computers make it easier to do perfect shading, but they are not required. Just make sure you have a large variety of colors at your disposal.

• Question

  Does the head have to be a perfect circle?

  No, but it helps for it to be circular in the draft. In the finished product, the head should be pointed at the chin area.

• Question

  Can I color them in with Twistables?

  

  If you're going to use Twistable pencil crayons/colored pencils, then maybe. Don't use crayons, though.

• Practice all the time to get better and improve. It takes artist lots of days and time to improve the drawing. This you have a lot of fun

• Add more shades for the eyes.

• If it doesn't look right the first time, practice, practice, practice! If you're only just starting out in the drawing, you might not find it easy to control the pencil in the way you'd like to. Take some art class in middle school and or high school. Ask your parent to buy your art set to so you can practice on it too.
