Description requested me for me to help her out with anime, i guess.. i don't take requests, but i've never done tips so i figured, why not?

now this isn't HOW to draw anime, but they are basics you should know about it. the anatomy is relatively similar to real life, but it's still a bit different.

you can download it and do whatever you want, and you don't need to credit me when using it. however, i would LOVE to see what you've learned from this! [if learned anything at all xD]

anyways, i'll type it out in case you can't really see it.
anything that is missing or you have a question about, feel free to ask!

-Anatomy-
The girl's anatomy and the boys are very different. while the girl's is curvy throughout, the boy's body has no curves and is "triangular"

-Eyes-
I prefer to draw the face first. When you draw eyes first, sometimes it's difficult to draw the rest out. it comes out crooked and what not. anyways, again, when it comes to anime, the girl's eyes are softer, cuter, and bigger. in contrast, the boy's eyes are narrower, and more mature looking. boy's eyebrows are closer to the eyes too [in some cases]

-Hands-
same with the eyes. girls = softer xD

-Feet-
For feet, it doesn't really matter. you can make the girl's feet look "softer", but that's really up to you.

hope this helps!! ^^

EDIT
Oh GOD only now do I realize how some parts are just so off...
Ignore the feet advice omg gomenn

How would you make the manly eyes smile in a manly way? D: When I draw them, they end up looking tired in a way :/

Seojinni In reply to MidgetNinjasaurus [2012-01-15 18:09:17 +0000 UTC]

oh that..is actually kinda difficult to draw out.
sometimes, you can slant the eyes to make them less "mature". omg idk, hopefully i'll have a tutorial on how to draw guys soon >_<
