Step 1
Body structure
The most important step in drawing the body is to first get the correct proportions.
When drawing anime, the proportions may be slightly different from the actual human body but the same principles still apply.
A good way to measure the body is to use the head. A normal body with a head included can be about 7-8 heads tall. In anime, the heads tend to be drawn larger than they really are, so for this tutorial we’ll be using 6.5 heads.
Start outlining the initial proportions by drawing the head and work your way down to the rest of the body.
A common way to show joints is to draw circles. You don’t have to do this, but it can help.
The distance between the torso and the legs is equal to the height of the head and torso combined.
The arms are slightly longer than the body (note that the arms in this example are being raised slightly).
Also note that the distal part of the body (especially the arms) will be smaller than the part closer to the viewer due to the angle of view.

The blue lines in the example above are guidelines intended to help you draw.
As mentioned, circles help indicate joints and also act as dividers helping to create space for different parts of the body.
The oval drawn on the head helps to draw the shape of the top of the head. The reason you want to draw the whole oval is that it makes it a lot easier to see if you’ve made a mistake. If you draw only one half, you may find that it doesn’t look right when you draw the second half.
The lines on the body help define its 3D shape. The midline is used to aid perspective because in three quarters of view, the farther side gets a little narrower then the closer side The remaining line helps determine where the front of the body ends and the side starts. Basically, you want to draw the original shape of the body as some kind of block with sharp corners.
Step 2
Draw facial features

There are a lot of tutorials on drawing facial features on this page, so we won’t go into details on how to draw an anime-style face.
A few things to keep in mind is that since the face in this tutorial is drawn in 3/4 view due to perspective, the features on the far side of the face will be drawn very small and slightly lowered. You can ignore this small size variation unless you are drawing a very large face close-up.
When the far side of the face arches away, the eyebrows and eyes in the distance appear to be “shrunk” horizontally compared to the side closer to the viewer.
Step 3
Draw hair

For this particular hairstyle, draw the hair along the contour of the top of the head and curl it slightly in different directions as it hangs down.
Generally when drawing anime hair, you’ll want to draw it in bunches. Try and change the sizes and orientations they point to for a more natural look.
It can also be very helpful to think of the hair as divided into front, sides, and back sections, especially for these or similar styles.
