So, what is needed to learn how to draw an anime head. You will need your art set, whether it be a pencil with paper or a graphics tablet, as well as a love of anime drawings.

 

Step 1

Let’s begin with the rough outlines. In the first stage, it is similar to an inverted egg. Do not use dark and clear lines to make changes and additions easier in the future.

Step 2

Let’s map out the lines to help depict an anime face. But first, create a neck. Then create an upright line with horizontal lines on it. All of these lines should also be as light as possible.

Step 3

Starting from the third stage, we will take care of the details in the anime head drawing. First depict the eyelashes, then pupils (irises), as did the artists of Easydrawingart.com.

Step 4

Now depict the inner part of the pupils in the form of small ovals. Above the eyes, depict eyebrows that may look like in the sketch from the artists of Easydrawingart.com, or have any other look.

Step 5

This stage of the guide on how to draw an anime head will consist of very simple dashes. Use a pair of short dashes to create a nose and mouth. Create folds above the eyes (eyelids) with a couple more dashes.

Step 6

Anime jaw is rarely oval, most often it is angular. Therefore, sharpen the jaw, as did the artists of the Easydrawingart.com in the sketch below. Complete stage six by depicting ears.

Step 7

Now depict hair. To begin with, with the help of a jagged line, depict a bang. By the way, to know more about depicting hair, visit the instruction on how to draw anime hair.

Step 8

In this stage, we need to finish depicting the hair of the sketched person. To do this, depict the upper part, either as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did, or make your own hairstyle.

Step 9

The main lines of the artwork are complete, and it’s time to clean up the image. To do this, take an eraser and clean your artwork from excess lines. For greater clarity, you can trace it with darker pencil or ink.

Step 10

You can leave your artwork either black and white, or give it some color. You can use the colors presented by the artists of Easydrawingart.com, or make your artwork in a different color scheme.
