How to Draw a Manga Head

Step 1: Lightly draw a circle . If you can’t draw a circle, simply trace around a circular object.

Step 2: Draw a spade-like shape along the two sides of the circle. The point of the spade-like shape will be your character’s chin. Don’t make it too pointy.

Step 3: Erase the bottom part of the circle. Once you erase the circle, the spade-like shape will become your character’s chin.

Step 4: Sketch a light cross in the middle of the face . Sketch it so that the two lines intersect in the middle.

Step 5: Position the eyes, nose, and mouth. The cross you sketched in the fourth step is now a guideline for the eyes and the character’s mouth and nose.

Adding Eyes?

Step 1: Draw two lines for the top and bottom of each eye.

Step 2: Draw a circle and then draw the inside circle for your eyes.

Step 3: Color in the inside of your character’s eyes.

Step 4: Draw the eyelashes to complete each eye. Then sit back and admire your work!
