Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing an Anime Girl Face

1. Draw the Head Shape
Start with a circle or oval for the top of the head. For a front view, draw a vertical line down the center to keep symmetry. Then extend curved lines down from the sides of the circle to form the cheeks and taper to a small, slightly pointed chin with a gentle curve at the bottom

. 2. Add Guidelines for Facial Features
Draw a horizontal line halfway down the head for eye placement. Add another horizontal line between the eye line and chin to position the nose, and one more between the nose and chin for the mouth

. 3. Draw the Eyes
Anime girls typically have large, expressive eyes. Position the eyes so their lower edges touch the eye guideline. Draw big eyes with detailed irises, pupils, and highlights (reflections) to give them life. You can add eyelashes and shade the upper parts of the eyes for depth

. 4. Sketch the Nose and Mouth
The nose is usually small and simple-often just a dot or a tiny point placed between the eye and chin lines. The mouth is small and can be drawn as a single curved line slightly above the bottom mouth guideline. A slight curve can express different emotions

. 5. Draw the Neck and Ears
Draw the neck as two vertical lines under the jaw, roughly aligned with the inner edges of the eyes. The ears start around the eye line and end near the nose line on the sides of the head

. 6. Add Hair
Sketch the hair in large clumps rather than individual strands. Hair often overlaps the face and has a somewhat spiky or flowing look. Vary the size and direction of the hair clumps for a natural appearance. The hairline is usually drawn near the top of the head circle

. 7. Final Details and Shading
Erase any unnecessary guidelines. Add eyelashes, pupils, and highlights in the eyes. Shade parts of the hair and eyes to add depth. You can also add subtle shading to the face to enhance the 3D effect

. This process is detailed in tutorials such as the AnimeOutline guide and YouTube step-by-step videos that break down the drawing line by line

. Practicing these steps will help you master drawing an anime girl face with proper proportions and style.
