How Do You Draw An Anime Face?
• Draw a circle, with a line indicating the center of the face’s plane, dontthe bottom hemisphere of your circle and coming down to a point at the chin. You can adjust this line to get different face shapes for different types of characters. • Draw in the eye line – this should appear about halfway down the eyes. Again, your eyes will vary depending on the character you’re drawing. Girls/young children/heroes/protagonists’ eyes tend to be larger while boys/ tomboys/adults/ and antagonists have narrow eyes; but it’s really up to you. Eyes are one of the most important features of manga, they say a lot about the person and their mood. Drawing the eyes narrowed shows thoughtfulness/ anger, drawing them bigger and rounder with bigger pupils shows surprise. Eyes that are drawn wide open with small pupils shows fear. • Draw in the other features. A straight or curved nose, a small mouth. Boys noses are bigger: when showing happiness they’re usually high up and rounded, slanted eyebrows show
