It's been three years since I created my first tutorial on drawing anime faces. Over time, I’ve explored various techniques and gathered insights to refine my skills. Today, I'm excited to present an upgraded version of that tutorial, showing you how to draw anime faces like a pro.

Starting with the Basics

First things first: to draw an anime face, begin by sketching a sphere or circle for the head. Next, draw two guidelines—one horizontal and one vertical—to help position the facial features accurately. Add the jawline, chin, and ears. Position the eyes, nose, and mouth accordingly.
