At first we do not see any signs of anime style. In this step, we need to outline the traditional stickman of a young guy who is studying in secondary school. You can see narrow shoulders, a narrow pelvis and a prominent neck.  You can read more about building a young man’s figure in this drawing tutorial.

Step 2

Let’s work with the head and torso. In this step, we draw a couple of crossed lines on the face of our anime character. The lines should converge at right angles. The horizontal line should be located slightly below the conditional middle. These lines will help us draw facial features in the next steps.

After that, we can connect the chest and pelvis with smooth lines. Try to bend sharp bends. In the pelvic area, draw two concave lines to get the result as in our sample.

In face painting, it is very important to position the pupils correctly. In our case, if you did everything correctly, you will get the feeling that the character is looking directly at you.
