What is Anime Drawing?

This tutorial was designed to help young artists learn how to draw an Anime girl. The style originated in Japan and, by definition, refers to Japanese animation, which are the cartoons you see on the television.

The eyes are often a defining factor of an anime styled drawing, so understanding the basics of drawing them is an excellent first step to take in mastering this popular style.

Anatomically speaking, anime styled characters are often a little elongated in comparison to human proportions, but are still based on realistic human anatomy. An anime style character’s head tends to be larger than a real humans head, and more rounded at the back. When drawing a full figure, a realistic character would tend to be around seven heads tall, as in they are seven times as tall as the size of their head. An anime style character tends to be around eight heads tall, with their legs covering about four and a half heads length. Also, the lower leg, below the knee, tends to be longer than the upper leg, whereas in realistic human anatomy, it is the other way round, or the two are roughly the same length.
