Whereas male (male anatomy drawing) and juvenile anime (anime boy full body drawing) characters often have an inverted triangle shape (wider at the shoulders than at the hip), female characters are shaped differently.

The widest point of the girl's body base is the hips. The chest is the second-widest, and the waist is narrow. The female body is generally shorter in height than her male counterparts, but taller than any children.

There are exceptions to this anime body template, however. Some characters presented as "sexy" might have exaggerated, unrealistic proportions. (Check out this Sexy Anime Drawing)

1. Begin the anime girl outline by creating a grid. Draw two vertical lines and seven horizontal lines. The lines should be spaced so that they create six complete squares and six incomplete squares of equal sizes.

2. Begin to sketch the basic shapes of the girl body within the grid. In the first row, center a circle over the vertical line to form the head. It should take up about 3/4 of the space between the horizontal lines.

In the next row, draw two more horizontal lines equally spaced between the original lines. In the next row, draw horizontal lines at the halfway and 1/4 points. Then, draw a rounded teardrop shape from the top of the second row to the first new line in the third row. Enclose a rounded shape within it centered over the grid, between the nearest new lines. This will form the girl's torso.

Indicate the placement of the shoulders by drawing two small circles, one on each side of the torso, resting on the first of the new horizontal lines.

Finally, draw two round shapes in the third row, below the halfway-point line, to form the hips. Extend curved lines toward the horizontal guideline, then lines at another angle through the next row. Conclude these in the fourth row with two partial circles. These will become the legs and knees.

3. Continue the body sketch by connecting the "parts" using curved lines. Add detail, such as the ears, collar bones, and upper arms.

Then, draw two short lines outside of the hips, and two more in the bottom row. These place the wrists and ankles.

5. Enclose the full-body outline by drawing the hands and feet. Use short lines to contour the elbows, knees, and abdominal muscles. Use two "U" shaped lines to draw the breasts, and a few curved lines to outline her underwear.

You could give her a fancy princess dress or jeans and boots. The story is yours, so the choice is up to you.

Star by drawing a vertical line through the middle of your drawing area. In this case it will be tall enough to accommodate the height of the head, neck, and the top part of the shoulders.

The purpose of this line is to act as a guide that helps make sure that both halves of the head/neck/shoulders are of relatively even width. Later it can also help with spacing and positioning the facial features.

From the lower half of the circle project two lines downwards and angled towards the center line. These should then transition into curves and then go on an even sharper angles to finally join at the curve of the chin.

Make the neck fairly thin in relation to the head and fairly long. It should eventually transitioning into the shoulder muscles which should then transition into the shoulders.

To position the eyes you can horizontally divide the head in two as shown with the example above. For the “beautiful girl” character you can then place the eyes slightly below this halfway point. the large forehead will add to the “cuteness”.

At this stage you can simply outline the basic shape of the eyes without drawing all of the smaller details such as the eyelashes.

Fairly high up above the eyes draw the eyelashes with thicker and slightly raised inner ends. This will help give the character a certain personality.

The nose will be slightly above the halfway point between the horizontal line for the middle of the head and the bottom of the chin.

Draw the nose itself close to a tiny oval in shape with the side closer to the center of the face slightly flatter.

Place the mouth where it’s bottom lip (not actually drawn) would be about halfway between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin.

Make the mouth fairly small with a very slight downwards curve. It’s very important not to draw too much of a curve or the character can get an unhappy looking expression.

Position the ears with their tops slightly below the top of the eyes and their bottoms slightly below the bottom of the nose. For this particular character the ears will be drawn slightly smaller and slightly lower down than is recommended for other character types here on .

In this case most of the ears will be covered by the hair so there is not much need for drawing their inner details.

When drawing the hair you can think of it as being split into the sides, front and back/top sections. For a more detailed explanation of this as well as examples of other hair styles see:

Begin by drawing the “sides” part of the hair. In this case these will be two fairly long “clumps” that begin from around the top of the head and end with a pair of splits slightly below the shoulders.

Draw the back/top section also split down the middle. The hair should first stick slightly farther up from the head towards it’s very top, then get a little closer towards it near the upper end of the sides of the head. Finally it should again curve away from the head towards the middle/bottom of the head.

In case you are wondering why you needed to fully draw out the head and ears and not just start with the hair there are several reasons for this. One is that seeing the exact size of the head makes it easier to place the facial features (as was shown in the previous steps). Another is that drawing in such a way helps to avoid many potential mistakes.

While the eyes in that example are slightly different all of the drawing steps can be applied to the example in this tutorial.
