Learning How to Create Your Own Art
The key is to not copy others work. Try not to copy anyone's style of drawing anime, be unique and create your own! Trust me, it's really fun. I know that learning how to draw in your own style is difficult, but you'll get the hang of it soon.
Description of How to Draw an Anime Face
1. Draw a circle (lightly) with the proportions (lightly) for the face.
2. Draw the outline (lightly) of the face and the neck.
3. Erase the circle and leave the proportions.
4. Draw the eyebrows, outline of the eyes, and lips.
5. Erase the proportions and draw the nose (which is usually a dot with shading) and the basic design of the eyes.
6. Draw the full eyes and any hairstyle you want.
