Here are some basic steps to draw an anime girl:

  1. Start with a basic head shape like an oval or circle. Draw the basic guidelines for the face like eyes and nose placement.
  2. Add details to the eyes like shapes for eyelids and eyelashes. Anime eyes are usually large and expressive.
  3. Sketch in the hair. Anime hair styles are big and exaggerated. Try curls, bangs or ponytails.
  4. Add the torso as a cylindrical shape coming down from the head. Draw simple shapes for breasts and hips if including those details.
  5. Finish with the limbs coming off the torso. Keep arms and legs relatively simple with basic shapes for hands, feet, etc.
  6. Go back and add details like facial features, clothing folds and wrinkles. You can refine shapes and improve proportions as needed.
  7. Ink over your sketch with clean lines. Add shadows and highlights to bring out shape and dimension. Color if desired.

The proportions are stylized so don't worry about realism. Focus on capturing the large-eyed, cute style of anime characters. With practice, you'll be drawing cute anime girls in no time!
