How to Draw Anime Girls. Unravel the artist's secret to drawing Japanese anime and you'll
soon be duplicating this expressive style on your own sketch pad. You will need A graphite
pencil Paper and an eraser. Step 1. Rough in a front view of a female form, beginning
with the head and then adding the torso, limbs, hands, and feet. Run a vertical line through
the center of your figure as a guide to ensure body symmetry. Step 2. Exaggerate the form's
feminine aspects by slimming the waistline and hips, enlarging ***, and lengthening
the legs. Also, shorten the torso. The larger the head, the younger your anime girl appears.
Step 3. Add facial features, keeping the pointed nose and mouth small. Draw very large eyes
near each side of the head. Then add ears, a pointed chin, and a thin neck. Step 4. Add
hair in the anime style by blocking in sections with V-tipped ends. Step 5. Add clothing appropriate
to your figure's age and character. Indicate folds where the body bends with a few clean
lines. Step 6. Erase unwanted guidelines. Now your drawing is ready for framing and
you're ready to advance from anime novice to experienced artist. Did you know Tezuka
Osamu, a prolific post World War II artist, is revered as the father of anime.
