Drawing hair can be one of the most difficult parts of drawing an anime/manga character, it can be used to change the look and personality of a character. This tutorial is a bit like a guide to numerous styles and looks!
Step 2
- -
When I draw the hair, I start with the hair around the face. This creates the foundation for the rest of the hair, and is pretty important because - it creates the face. There are many types and styles, with or without tips, streaming down the face or tucked away. The strands of hair are very important (because this is how hair grows, they should be drawn in one direction), I almost always start at the roots and top of the head and then draw down, ending at the base of the head at the back. In the picture there are several basic varieties, and from them you can create hundreds of hairstyles (men and women).
Step 3
- -
I decided to work with the first example for this step and draw the woman's hairstyle. After drawing the bangs, you can start creating the rest of the hair. You can draw the hairstyle you like, but I will work with the hairstyle half ponytail and half loose. I start by drawing the hair which is pulled back in a ponytail from the edge line to the back of the head. Since there is a lot of hair, I used more lines to emphasize this. Then I move on to drawing the top of the tail. I added small details, short strands to make the tail livelier and show the hierarchy of hair length. Finally, I add hair that flows down, hanging over her shoulders. Remember, hair is not heavy, but also weightless!
Step 4
- -
A guy's hair can change his personality. Long flowing hair can make him seem more feminine, emotional, or carefree. Whereas, short hair or very slicked back hair can make a guy seem more masculine, serious, or irritable. Here is an example of a hairstyle with smooth medium length hair. It doesn't matter if you draw long or short hair, follow the same rules, starting from the face and draw with strands that the hair grows. If you find it difficult to draw hairstyles, study your own, boyfriend/girlfriends, friends, or in magazines (no excuses, do your homework ^ _ ^)
Step 5

Hairstyle elements:
Now that you know how to draw a hairstyle in general, I'll show you how to draw the elements in more detail!
1. This is wavy hair, pretty normal. Often people have short hair that starts to curl, but as the length increases, the weight of the hair straightens the curls. Add a little detail on the inside of the waves to create more realistic hair!
2. Curly hair is perhaps the most difficult to draw because of the details. It takes a little practice in drawing curls, it's worth it. Add small curly strands at the base for a cute yet realistic effect.
3. Wavy but wilder. Draw the strands in different directions to give the style a messy messy look.
4. Straight hair, typical of Asian people, is also found in many cultures. There are - layered and "smooth edges", the first have a soft end, the second - straight hair that has been cut across. They basically look the same, but look different.
5. These are strands short hair, combining all styles, wavy or spiky. There are also little curls on short curly hair.
Step 6
- -
The pattern of braided hair is also difficult to depict, here are a few examples.
1. This is an ordinary braid, of 3 strands. First draw from the top (As always) and slowly down, interlacing the strands. Draw the lines of the main strand of the one closest to you more naturally, and as you draw, just follow the arrows! Simple, huh?
2. Twisted hair. Most people do not perceive this hair style properly, but in the Illustrations it looks spectacular. Draw the main lines of the section first, then go back and close the gaps on the other side. Because it's easier than a regular braid, you can use it instead of a regular braid and it will look just as effective!
3. Bundles. They can be made without fully pulling the ponytail through the hair tie. Others do it by wrapping their entire hair in a bun and then securing it with hairpins. Remember that hair has structure, so don't draw a flat round ball!
4. Tails! The first example is wavy hair and a little layered. Some of the upper hairs do not reach the ends of other, longer ones. Long and straight hair is the next example, you can also twist the strands. The braid again, this is what it looks like when it starts in a ponytail. Finally a rat tail. It happens more with anime guys! Don't forget that when the hair is not braided it is long, then when it is tied it becomes shorter, and then when it is braided it becomes even shorter. Keep this in mind when drawing ^_^
Step 7
- -
Here are a few good examples how different styles of hair sit, look, completely different styles, but very similar hairstyle. I also drew examples for the blowing wavy/curly and straight hair from the sudden wind. With wavy hair it will be harder and messier than with straight hair, but both will have flying strands of hair ^ _ ^
Now it's up to you! remember, the more practice you get, the better you will draw (and the crazier hair styles!) it will be easier to plan out the hair, the skill will come to you gradually, and there is no need to be upset if the first time it doesn’t work out. If you don't have an idea, then play with your own hair or friends, look in magazines and on the internet, you will get inspired in no time!

Even without an artistic education, you can create unique anime characters at home! In this article, MirSovetov will describe the main anime drawing techniques, and you will see how simple and exciting it is.
Anime history
Initially, anime was positioned as stories in pictures. The most ancient archaeological finds Japanese culture testify that the foundations of anime originated long before the advent of animation and printed craft. In the tombs of ancient Japanese rulers, drawings are still found, the structure and ideology of which clearly resembles the classic anime.
Creator modern style anime and manga are considered to be Osamu Tezuka. He created his unique style, which fell in love with people around the world, and became an example to follow. Behind long years his creative activity Osamu drew more than 500 comics, some of which were not limited to a couple of pages, but took up to 5 volumes! He was a true comic book fan. Obsessed with passion for anime, Tezuka passed on his emotions to artists around the world and left a great legacy that lives on to this day.
Unlike many other cultures, Japanese animation is not afraid of losing its identity and is constantly borrowing artistic techniques other peoples. Despite this, anime only becomes more diverse and rich, remaining unique and recognizable style. It is so firmly rooted that even if Japanese animators try to create something purely "European", they fail to get away from the traditional manner of anime.
Style Features
The main feature that distinguishes the anime style from other comics styles is the developed symbolic graphics, which allows you to display the most complex human emotions with just a few strokes. The smallest nuances convey the character of the hero, tell his story ... In this anime, it looks like ancient Eastern drawing techniques, when one line could tell the viewer the whole story.
One of the most important distinguishing features anime is the image of the eyes. Their size and degree of brilliance indicate how young the hero is - the younger the character, the larger and brighter his eyes.
The growth of the hero also plays an important role. Tall and stately figures indicate that this is a bold and courageous character, and caricature-small size is a sign of youth and childishness.
Western comics tend to focus on superhero stories and fantasy. Anime is not limited to fiction, but covers the full spectrum human life. Among the stories of anime, there are fairy-tale legends, historical chronicles, horror, drama. This is a full-fledged genre that is open to any subject. It follows that target audience are not only children and adolescents, but also adults.
Drawing a girl's face
Anyone can become a professional anime artist, regardless of level. artistic skill. All you need is practice and patience. All drawing is carried out in pencil, and only the final contours are made with a pen, marker or ink. You can color the drawing with watercolors or with the help of graphic editor if you prefer to draw on a tablet.
Draw a circle and divide it in half with a vertical line. This is necessary for the symmetrical display of facial features. Over time, you can draw a vertical line in different variations depending on the type of face and the turn of the head.
Just above the middle of the circle, draw horizontal line to indicate the location of the character's eyes. Again, depending on the type of face, the position of the eyes may vary. Since you are drawing a girl, her eyes will be large (young character). This important point, which should always be kept in mind when drawing anime.
Pupils also play big role. Large pupils with a few flashes indicate that the character is surprised or delighted, while wide eyes with tiny pupils indicate horror and fear.
Draw the details of the girl's face. The nose is usually straight and slightly pointed, the mouth is small with narrow lips. Boys have bigger noses than girls. If the character is joyful, the nose is drawn a little higher than it should be and make it more rounded.
Eyebrows are a powerful tool for expressing emotions, as in real life as well as in anime comics. If the character is angry, they will have slanted eyebrows. Raised eyebrows reflect astonishment, straight eyebrows - indifference, etc.
Draw the hair. Here you can show all your imagination, because no special rules for drawing anime hair. The hairstyles of the characters, as well as the structure of the hair, can be very diverse and unusual!
Finish the drawing by drawing the outlines with paint or ink. Traditionally, anime artists use watercolor or natural ink for this.
eye drawing
Eyes are the most important means of expression in the art of drawing anime. Before you start inventing characters, learn how to draw eyes. Pay special attention to this, because the slightest mistake can ruin your drawing or convey the wrong mood of the hero. By by and large if you learn how to draw eyes in anime style, then you have practically mastered this interesting science!
Despite the clear rules graphic image eye, there are no strict patterns that can be applied to a particular character. The eyes can be with or without eyelashes, with one glare or with a scattering of small reflections, with a round iris or without it at all.
When depicting eyes, you can show all your imagination, but you should remember a few simple rules:
- how more eyes, the younger the character;
- a large number of blikov speaks of the hero's "openness" to the world;
- men's eyes are narrower and smaller, and unlike women's.
Drawing any eye can be divided into several standard steps:
- First sketch out the eyeball according to the proportions of the face.
- Draw a line of the upper and lower eyelids, create an eye section. The wider the eyes, the more naive and "childish" the character will seem.
- Draw an iris in accordance with the direction of the hero's gaze.
- Draw eyebrows. The shape of the eyebrows can be chosen as you wish, but remember that men's and women's eyebrows are significantly different. The position of the eyebrows on the face (high, low, oblique, straight) creates the mood and character of the hero.
- Finish the details - a highlight on the pupil, eyelashes, etc.
- Erase the guide lines and enjoy the result!
Particular attention should be paid to glare. They can be located on the iris itself, or they can cross it. Highlights are not only bright white, but also translucent, with clear or blurry borders. The brighter and thicker the outline of the iris and pupil, the more expressive your character's eye will be. Try drawing different types of eyes and choose the one you like best!
Each time you draw a head, you need to start with a circle and intersecting lines through the center. This part is always the same, and the rest of the face is built depending on the desired type (style). Next, we will look at a few different types anime faces.
In all these drawings, it's not just that "the eyes get bigger." They get bigger, of course, but the nose and mouth don't change either.
realistic type
This type of facial construction is so close to true human anatomy that it almost doesn't look like an anime style. On the real human face the eyes are much smaller, and the nose and mouth are much more prominent. The ears are at eye level.
cartoon type
We reach the extreme range here, but do not exceed the limit. This style is more suited to the genre of romance (shojo), where expressive eyes are what you need. If you look closely at the sketch on the left, you will find that the eyebrows are very high on this head.
Very cartoon type
With this approach, the enlarged eyes lead to a different relationship with the rest of the facial features, and the ears are now aligned with the nose.I can't express in words how important it is to repeat this balance if you want to paint in this style. Anime and manga fans are a picky bunch. If you draw the proportions wrong, they will see it and let you know!
a little cartoony
You can see this facial construction in the manga when the hero is action oriented. The eyes become larger, while the nose and mouth become less detailed. However, the distance between the eyes and the tip of the nose is still quite close to real anatomy.
Anime is special Japanese technique drawing. Drawings in this style differ from other genres, primarily in the way the face and eyes are drawn. Eat different types anime, such as comics or manga. It also refers to popular cartoon about pokemon. Pokemon in a large number, but Pikachu is considered the main one, with its owner. Drawing heroes in this genre is quite exciting, because the picture comes out with a contrast, even if you draw with an ordinary pencil. Drawing anime eyes and face is not difficult, because the eyes are usually always large, and the oval of the face can be approximated. Characters in this genre are always multi-colored bright clothes, with pretty simple elements which makes the drawing process easier. The main thing is that the colors look juicy and bright. Even if you create with a simple pencil, it is worth making the picture very contrasting, with almost no penumbra. In this article for beginners, you will learn how to draw anime step by step with a simple pencil.

What does the shape of your nose say about your personality?
When you draw any picture in stages, it is necessary at the first stage to correctly mark the outline of your drawing. To draw a boy, you first need to draw his main contours.
To make it easier for you, make a primary outline of rectangular shapes that fit the body parts. First a rectangle for the head, below a contour for the neck. Lower 2 arcs from it, they will indicate the shoulders. From the left shoulder line, take another line, which in the future will be the boy's hand. Draw a circle on the edge of the arm line, it will indicate the elbow. Then continue to draw the hand using rectangles and simple lines. At the end of the right shoulder line, draw a circle for the elbow, and then draw lines from it with a rectangle for the brush. And now you can roughly outline the details of the costume of your drawing.
Draw an oval face
The face shape in the anime genre is like a rectangle that is connected to a triangle. You need to draw and then connect these two shapes, and then delete the line that formed after joining. As a result, you will have an oval face, with a sharply narrowed chin. At this stage, you can add some details of the costume.

Adding more details to the picture
Now with an eraser you can remove all unnecessary contours and start detailing them. On the lines that you got, draw the final shape of the face. Then, on top of the face, draw an arc-shaped visor, with a round base for a cap. Now draw the ears and next to them triangles that will represent the hair. Starting from the sleeve, outline the arm along the previous contour. Then you need to select the legs and draw a collar. IN right hand we will draw a Pokemon. To do this, draw a rectangle for the body and a circle for the head. If the picture at this stage has exact proportions, then the hardest part is over.
The final stage of the drawing
At this stage, you need to learn how to decorate images with details, the main of which are the eyes and face. This is where the face should start. Make the eyes of a large elongated shape with large black pupils. Draw the mouth in the form of an inverted triangle, and the mouth is tiny. This technique is used to give the face of people the shapes and proportions of anime.
Now add small parts clothes: belt, pockets, buttons. Don't forget the t-shirt. Draw the gloved hands from the rectangles on the hands. Then “turn” the triangles for the hair into the hair itself. With an eraser from the outline for Pikachu, remove the excess and draw a regular face, which consists of circles. Add tail, arms and ears.
Paint the resulting image
Well, in the end, make the picture contrasting and bright. sharp, bright colors are main feature drawings in this style. You can shade the image with a simple soft pencil, just add contrasting, bright shadows.
