    This can just be a simple shape, just to outline what the hair is going to look like. Having long sideburns is a good idea to cover where the human ears would be. It can be a little strange when there are 2 sets of ears. And no one likes a bald cat girl.

Draw the rest of the facial features.

    The bottom of the chin should be as far from the top of the eyes as the top of the eyes are from the top of the head. The top of the eyes are should be the middle of an anime girl's head.

    Anime eyes can seem complicated to beginners. Just try to simplify the shapes. Here there are 3 shapes, the upper shape, the lower C shape, and the square highlight shape.

    If you drew it digitally, turn off the lower layer. If you drew the sketch with pencil and then went over it with ink, erase the pencil. If you only used pencil, erase only the guidelines.

    Though adding color is a tutorial in and of itself. So don't worry about that yet.

    Why do anime eyes have to be so complicated to draw?

    If they weren't complicated they would look more simple, and it would be harder to make the eyes show emotions.

    Just make triangles without bottoms. You can also make them curvy.

      • If it doesn't look right the first time, practice, practice, practice! If you're only just starting out in the drawing, you might not find it easy to control the pencil in the way you'd like to. Take some art class in middle school and or high school. Ask your parent to buy your art set to so you can practice on it too.
        Thanks
