Anime and manga are popular Japanese forms of animation and comics that have a very distinctive art style. If you want to draw your favorite character or design one on your own, start by designing their head and face so you can sketch what they look like. When you first start the head, draw the outline and the basic shapes so you can properly place the features. Once you add the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, you can erase your guidelines and sketch in a hairstyle. With a bit of practice and patience, you’ll be able to design anime faces in no time!

To draw an anime or manga-style face, start by sketching the basic head shape. Draw a circle, then make a vertical guideline down the middle of it. Sketch a horizontal guideline about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the circle to mark the level where the eyes will go. Then, draw another horizontal line close to the bottom of the circle to mark the position of the nose. Measure the distance between the eye line and the nose line, then measure that same distance down from the nose line and draw a third horizontal line for the chin. Next, sketch the jaw. The jawline should extend from the widest part of the circle down to the middle of the line you made for the chin on each side. If you’re drawing a child or a female character, make the jaw curved and the chin pointy. For adult male characters, create a more angular jaw and a wider chin. Finally, draw lines coming down on either side of the jaw to indicate the neck. When you have the face shape down, begin adding facial features. First, sketch in the ears between the eye and nose lines. Then, draw the tip of the nose where the vertical guideline and the nose line intersect. Since anime and manga characters often have very small noses, you don’t have to do much more than draw a small, curved line to indicate the outline of the nose. Next, sketch in the eyes just below your first horizontal guideline. Depending on how you want the character’s eyes to look, you can indicate the top of the eye with either a simple straight line or a thicker, curved lash line. Draw a bottom line for the eye underneath the top line, somewhere above the level of the nose tip. Make a half-circle under the top eye line to represent the iris, and then add a pupil and a couple of highlights to make the eyes look bright and shiny. Draw an arched line above each eye, just above the eye line, to represent the eyebrows. Add a curved horizontal line between the nose and the chin for the mouth. If you want, you can add a slightly smaller line underneath to indicate the bottom lip. Once you’re satisfied with the face, erase the guidelines and fill in details, such as the hair and any distinctive features you want the character to have, like freckles or wrinkles. Go over your pencil lines with ink and add shading or color to finish up your drawing.This tutorial lists some common mistakes people make when drawing anime or manga and when drawing in general. It also provides tips on avoiding and fixing these mistakes.
There are plenty of tutorials here on that teach how to draw various things. This tutorial is slightly different as it will also show some examples of how NOT to draw.

The first mistake is drawing a line by making a series of small strokes. Not only does this make drawing much slower but you also tend to get uneven looking lines or lines that looks like scratches.
The second mistake is drawing extra overlapping lines when they are not needed. This can sometimes appear to make a sketches look “better” but that’s not really the case. What is actually happening is that once you make enough lines one of them is likely to be in at least roughly the right place. Your eyes then see that line giving the perceptions that the drawing is “improved”.
Third are wobbly lines (where they should be steady). Though this mistake may not always be deliberate. Sometimes you might just need to practice more to get a steady hand. Definitely DO NOT draw this way on purpose where it’s not needed.
Common Mistakes When Drawing Anime & Manga
If you look at most anime and good quality manga they tend to have very clear well defined line drawings. If you want to get better at drawing anime you should do what the professionals do. Try and draw with long steady lines and avoid unnecessary scribble.
For making really long lines it’s a good idea to draw from the shoulder instead of drawing from the wrist. In other words instead of moving your wrist when you draw these lines move the shoulder/elbow part of the arm.
Line weight is another common mistake beginners tend to make. Even if you have good line quality (long steady lines) you should still be aware of line weight. Making lines that are too thick can make your drawing look bad.

In anime the lines are generally fairly thin in relation to the characters with no line weight variation. Manga on the other hand are more likely to have drawings with varying line thickness.
If you want to make a drawing that looks like a screen capture of most anime use thin lines through the whole drawing. For more manga style looking art you can use thicker lines to define the main shape of an object and thinner lines for the smaller details.
As in the hand drawing above you can see that in the second example the main shape of the hand has a thicker outline while thinner lines are used for the small details such as the fingernails.

This mistake is especially common to digital drawing as it allows easy access to dark or bright colors that are difficult or impossible to reproduce on paper with things like pencil crayons.
One common coloring mistake is picking colors that blend with one another or blend with the black outlines of a character or an object.
If you want to use darker colors make sure the outlines of the drawing are not lost when you apply it. Draw white or light color outlines for that part of the drawing.

Perspective is objects getting smaller as they go off into the distance. Drawing in perspective is being able to show this in a believable way in art.
Drawings with no perspective simply look odd. Generally even people who are not artists can tell somethings is off about them though they may not always be sure what it is.
When drawing something that’s supposed to be symmetrical it’s very easy to make a mistake where the drawing is actually uneven. To help avoid mistakes draw some guide lines to help you.
