Here are the step-by-step instructions to draw a full-body anime girl:
Step 1) Draw the basic shape
Start by drawing a large vertical oval for the torso and two smaller ovals above for the head. Add two more ovals below for the hips/waist area and legs. Sketch in short lines indicating where the arms will be.
Step 2) Add the limbs
Draw in the arms by extending straight lines from the shoulder ovals and curving the arms at the elbows. Do the same for the legs, curving the lines at the knees. Add basic ovals for the hands and feet.
Step 3) Refine the torso and hips
Erase the center oval and sketch in a more defined torso shape that tapers in at the waist. Add broad hips below by curving the lines outward. Define the neck.
Step 4) Add the head and face
Within the top oval, draw the basic shapes of the head, hair, eyes, nose and mouth. Anime faces are big with small features. Focus on proportions at this stage.
Step 5) Detail the body and clothes
Add muscle definition, clothes folds and other details to the body and limbs. Erase unnecessary construction lines. Finish by adding hair, clothing patterns/logos and other decorative elements.
Step 6) Add color and shading (optional)
Use your favored art medium to bring the character to life through colors, textures and shading. You're done!
