Drawing the head have always been one of the many difficulties that an artist struggle with. To draw a decent head, you will need to know how to draw the facial features properly as well. However, just knowing how to draw the different facial features is not enough, you’ll need to place them properly on the head to complete the whole head. Since the head is made up of different facial features, being able to draw them properly first will help you in drawing the head as a whole.
In this post, I will be going through how I construct and draw basic anime-styled heads. If you’re interested in how to draw more realistic head proportions, I’ve made a post about it here. I will also talk about how you can modify the proportions to achieve different styles. This post will only be for drawing the head and placing the facial features in the front view. I will make a separate post on drawing in different angles, facial features and hair in the future.
As you probably already know, anime-styled drawings can differ quite a bit depending on the artist. Once you’ve learnt the basic proportions and guidelines, you can change things up depending on your own preferences! Below are some anime-styled heads in different proportions. As you can tell, they have very different proportions ranging from more realistic to less realistic.

Below is just one way on how you can construct an anime style head. There are many other ways you can draw them, simply do a google search and you’ll see how other artists approach drawing heads.
First, draw a circle or an oval for the general head shape, In my case, I drew a circle. If you have difficulties drawing circles and ovals, you can use the shape tools in your digital drawing software.
Now, draw a vertical line down the middle of the circle, this is the centre line and your nose will be placed somewhere on that line.

Then, using the circle as a guide add in the chin and shape the whole head. How long or short the chin depends on your preferences or the style you want to achieve.
Add a horizontal line in the middle of the head. This is where the top of the eyes will be. In a realistic style, the eyes would be higher. The eyes should be roughly one eye apart. However, since it’s anime style, you can place them slightly closer if you want.
For a front view where the head is facing forward and not looking up or down, the top of the ears will align with the top of the eyebrows and the bottom of the ears will align with the nose. However, since it’s anime style, the ears can be smaller.

Drawing the guidelines will help you draw the head and place the facial features more accurately. However, once you’ve done a few of them and are more experienced in drawing the head in this view, you should be able to draw them with less guidelines and quicker.
Here comes the fun part! By changing the proportions, you can create different looks. I will go through a few examples and the changes made to achieve the style.

The trick here is big heads, big eyes and short chins! I’ve made a more detailed post on how to draw the chibi style here.
From the picture above, you can see that a cute chibi style head is a lot shorter and rounder, thus cuter. The eyes are placed a lot lower on the face and there is little space for the nose and mouth. Some of the noses are almost on the same line as the bottom of the eyes. The eyes are also relatively larger.
For a more matured anime head, the proportions should be more towards a realistic proportion. I’ve made a post about it here.

Drawing the eyes can be very challenging yet fun for most artists. Eyes are the window to the soul, drawing them properly can make youThis tutorial shows how to draw an anime or manga style pouting face with puffed up cheeks in the front and three quarter (3/4) views.
A pouting face is a very common expression in anime and manga. It can be a tiny bit more tricky to draw because unlike many other expressions where only the facial features are adjusted it also “warps” the shape of the face with the puffed up cheeks.
Front Facing Manga Characters
Pouting faces tend to primarily be drawn in two views, the front view (looking directly at the viewer) and the 3/4 view. The front view is commonly used to show a “ticked off” character while the 3/4 view is used for situations where in addition to being “ticked off” the character is also shy or embarrassed (often looking away from the viewer).
In the example the pouting face is that of a girl as it’s usually female characters that are drawn with this particular look.
Before drawing a pouting anime or manga character it’s a good idea to know what they will look like with their normal expression. This makes it easier to see how much you should adjust the shape of their face and facial features.

In this case the eyes are below the horizontal halfway point of the face with the nose between that and the chin. The ears are positioned between the top of the eyes and the bottom of the nose. The mouth is placed by first determining the position of the bottom lip (between the nose and the chin) and then drawn slightly above that.
For a pouting face you will usually want to draw the eyebrows lower down with the eyes slightly squinted. Draw the mouth in an upside down curve (reverse of normal/smiling) with tiny curves on the sides (created by the puffed up cheeks).
Finally draw the cheeks sticking out to the sides (making the bottom of the face slightly wider) to show that they are puffed up.

Above you can see an overlapping comparison of the regular bottom portion of the face (in the front view) vs the pouting one with puffed up cheeks.
You can also again see the proportions of an anime/manga face in 3/4 view. These will be the same as described earlier for the front view (as it’s the same character).
You can now once again see what the same character can look like with a pouting face and puffed up cheeks in 3/4 view.

For a pouting face in the 3/4 view yet again draw the eyebrows slightly lower down with the eyes looking downwards (optionally) and slightly squinted.
Add some blush to the cheeks and draw the mouth pushed slightly forward towards the nose. Again draw the mouth with an upside down curve (reverse of normal) and two smaller curves on the sides.
As already mentioned this expression is slightly different from the forward facing one as it also adds some shyness to the character. Adding blush to the cheeks and drawing the eyes looking down helps to further reinforce the shy/embarrassed look.

Again you can see the comparison of normal vs puffed up cheeks (or cheek in this case) of an anime character this time in the 3/4 view.
Pouting anime and manga style faces are slightly more complicated then some of the other anime expressions due to the puffed up cheeks and the commonly used (more difficult to draw) 3/4 view.
