How to draw anime

This is my way to draw anime.

I am only going to shew you how to draw one character but using some of my techniques you should be able to make as much as you want.

Step 1 Step 1:

Draw a cube with the ratios about 1 high and 3/4 wide.

You can change this depending on your character

The whole thing with the box can be taken out entirely.

[agnememnondorf]

This is rather convoluted for something you can usually freehand really easily...

[aznpudding]

interesting technique, but it seems a bit over complicated with all the boxes and x's and lines

[shirlytemplewithcherryspleez]

ya

[jwlyon1]

I like that box construction method, haven't seen that before. Thanks.

[Jimpiedepimpie]

Mine sucked.
But i suck ath drawing
Do you have to be good ath this ore can you practice like whith almost all else?

[AlternateLives]

My first anime drawing wasn't all that good either. my second one improved significantly. just keep at it!

[roxasbri]

[turtleshane]

what about hair?

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

No offense, but your manga kinda stinks... Good instructable though for those who do not know how to draw!

[Baron A]

Show us your manga then ;P

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

I think this is my best. I drew the drawing with pencil, but the coloring was done on a photo editing software. That was done by myself as well. You can see more of my drawings at DeviantART.com.

[JesterRoyale]

Mm, sorry, but since your profile says that you are 14 and your name here is "PineapplebobTheGreat" I'm guessing that you're not remy. That drawing is by Remy on deviantart.

[Bright Shadow]

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

Thanks. Good luck with your hunt for Kira. (lol, i dunno)

[z3r0]

That is really good

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

Thanks. Took me a long time.

[Baron A]

Wow that is actually very good. Good job. Just a Q what pencil do you use?

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

I use different types of pencils, mostly just a number 2. I did use a charcoal stick for the shading.

AWSOME INSTRUCTABLE

[Jupitane]

Not to be mean or anything but theres no point for all the boxes... just learm how to draw.... not trying to be mean or anything.

[Keith-Kid]

Someone should make an instructable about drawing anime hands At least for me, the hands are the hardest part of drawing anime Also nice instructable.

[technosapien]

I dunno about "anime" hands, but lookit here:
http://www.anticz.com/handtut.htm

One of my favorite hand tutorials.

[Ringo11233]

no offense but that does not look much like anime maybe you can get insperation from my favorit anime Naruto. One more thing anime is the show version of manga mabye you should name your instuctable how to draw manga. bye from Ringo11233

[jacumaru]

i want to know what program u made that character IT is pivot or not?

[arrow shot]

i cant focus on 1 drawing for too long so i never use any advanced techniques....so, is this box technique suppose to make your drawing look 3-d ? i just do the face divider technique...simple and effective, good for short doodles

[tudgeanator]

Nice!

[Sgtsaddle]

I think the box technique is necessary, if the drawer is of low skill. Excellent!!!

[mangadragon]

I also think that the box step is a bit much, and the outline could be smoothed out a bit, but overall, this is quite nice.

Manga eyes are completely up to the will of the creator, just as any drawn object is influenced by ambience, memory, and creativity. First off, there is really no set way to draw, and second, "manga" eyes are any eyes put into a Japanese comic, so, no matter what, they wouldn't be manga eyes anyway.

[EnigmaMax]

the box-like technique at the beginning isn't necessary at all...

[Knytemere]

True, not really necessary, but it does say "my way to draw anime".

[MoreSo]

I liked it a lot, and it introduced me to a great way of drawing that I could only admire before. Now I can draw it.

But I was just wondering if you had taken your images from http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=drawanime or if they had taken these images from you? I'm just curious.

Thanks anyway! ^.

[Doctor What]

Looks like Aang.

[picazorozco]

your right, it just needs the arrow. (I love that show) (I have the complete book 1&2 set)
