How To Draw Anime Girl Head?

Here are the basic steps to draw an anime girl head:

  1. Start with a round oval or circle shape for the head.
  2. Draw the facial guidelines - the center line dividing the face in half vertically, the eye line halfway between the top of the head and chin, the nose line halfway between the eyes and chin.
  3. Sketch the outline of the hair. Anime girls often have dramatic hairstyles that draw attention up toward the face.
  4. Draw the eyes near the eye line. Anime eyes are usually large with exaggerated eyelashes and may take up more than half the face.
  5. Add the nose near the nose line. Anime noses are usually just two small lines or circles.
  6. Sketch the lips and mouth below the nose line. Lips are usually just a single curved line.
  7. Add details to the hair, eyes, and facial features like blush or accessories.
  8. Erase any guidelines and clean up lines.
  9. Add shading, color, or other finishes as desired.

Practice the proportions and remember facial expressions make a big difference. With practice you'll be drawing cute anime girls in no time!
