Some refer to anime as an art form. Most anime drawings contain exaggerated physical features of humans, such as enlarged eyes, lush hair, and elongated limbs. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to draw a school girl, a girl in a swimsuit, a teenage girl and a little girl in anime style.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Little Girl

1. 1 Sketch a rough sketch of the little girl, but draw a larger head to reflect childish proportions.
2. 2 Sketch additional shapes to build the body.
3. 3 Draw a shape based on your sketch.
4. 4 Add hair, clothes, accessories.
5. 5 Draw in the details using a sharper drawing tool.
6. 6 Draw out the contours of the picture more clearly.
7. 7 Erase the extra lines of the sketch.
8. 8 Color the work.

Method 2 of 4: School Girl

1. 1 Sketch the girl using lines and shapes. Draw a circle for the head first. Draw a pointed outline of the chin and cheekbones below. Draw a short line for the neck. From the neck, draw a curved line of the body to the level of the pelvis. Draw a quadrangle for the ribcage and connect the lines of the limbs. Use triangles to mark the hands.
2. 2 Use the sketch as a base, sketch out the shapes of the body. Pay attention to the proportions of the joints. Add crossed guide lines on the face and chest so that you can use them to determine the exact position of the body parts later.
3. 3 Now you can sketch out the eyes. Place them using the crossed lines. Add small, curved brows. Sketch the corner of the nose and a small, curved line for the mouth.
4. 4 Decide which hairstyle to draw for your anime character. This illustration shows a simple hairstyle that can be drawn using beveled and curved lines. You can also add a bow, barrette or any other accessory to your hair.
5. 5 Choose your character's clothing design. School uniform is the usual choice. A simple blazer and pleated skirt will also look great.
6. 6 Draw in the details and erase the extra lines.
7. 7 Color in the drawing.
8. 8 Think of other nuances that can be used for the anime character's school uniform.

Method 3 of 4: Teenage Girl

1. 1 Sketch a rough sketch of a teenage girl.
2. 2 Sketch additional shapes to build the body.
3. 3 Draw a shape based on your sketch.
4. 4 Add hair, clothes, accessories.
5. 5 Draw in the details using a sharper drawing tool.
6. 6 Draw out the contours of the picture more clearly.
7. 7 Erase the extra lines of the sketch.
8. 8 Color the work.

Method 4 of 4: Girl in a Swimsuit

1. 1 Sketch the girl using lines and shapes. Draw a circle for the head first. Draw a pointed outline of the chin and cheekbones below. With a line, reflect the neck and body to the pelvis. Draw an inverted domed ribcage and draw in the lines of the limbs. Use triangles to mark the hands.
2. 2 Using the sketch as a base, sketch out the shapes of the body. Pay attention to the proportions of the joints. Add crossed guide lines on the face and chest so that you can use them to determine the exact position of the body parts later. Since the character will be wearing a swimsuit, mark the location of the chest with two circles. Add a small beveled dash for the navel.
3. 3 Now you can sketch out the eyes. Place them using the crossed lines. Add small, curved brows. Sketch the corner of the nose and a slight curved line for the mouth to make the girl look smiling.
4. 4 Decide which hairstyle to draw for your anime character. You can use curved lines to create wavy hair. Add some ears sticking out from under the anime girl's hair on both sides in a "C" shape.
5. 5 Sketch out the contours of the body more clearly and choose the design of the character's swimsuit. A two-piece swimsuit is a simple and straightforward option.
6. 6 Draw in the details and erase the extra lines.
7. 7 Color in the drawing.
8. 8 Think of other ideas you can use for your anime character.
