Step 1: How to Draw Manga Head Right Angle

Step 2: Step:1

1. (a) Draw a circle in the middle of your page.

(b) Draw a line down the left of the circle inside the circle you've just drawn This will make what artists call guidelines which indicate where eyes and chin go.

Step 3:

3. (a) now draw a curved line to attach left side of the v

This curved line will show the angle of which the character's head is pointing

Great tutorial! If you could make another one where it shows how to draw a female characters head that would be great. With your article I managed to draw a perfect male character, but for a female I had to use another article. Maybe this will help some other beginner like me :)
