How to draw an anime girl body

In one of the previous instructions, the team of Drawingforall.net described how to draw a male anime figure, and now we will show you how to draw a female anime figure. The basic principles of building the male and female bodies are actually the same, but nevertheless there are some obvious differences, which we describe in detail in this lesson about how to draw an anime girl body.

Step 1

To properly depict a female anime figure, first we depict a skeleton. Start with the head, sketching it in the form of an egg-shaped figure. Note that the female head should be narrower at the chin. Next, draw a line of the spine and place on it a rib cage and pelvis. The hips in the female figure should be noticeably wider than the shoulders. With simple lines mark arms and legs.

Step 2

On the head, mark a crosshair, which further will help us depict the details of the face. Next, we outline a narrow neck and torso. An important difference between a female figure and a male one is that a female figure should be strongly narrowed at the waist and then greatly expanded in the hips.

Step 3

With the help of cylindrical figures for the upper arm and forearm and balls for the shoulders and elbows, depict the arms of the girl. Continuing the torso lines, depict the wide hips, which are narrowed at the knees and then slightly expanded in the area of the calf muscles.

Using light and simple lines, mark the eyes, guided by the lines from the second stage. Next, using a pair of simple lines, mark the nose and mouth. Depict the outline of anime hairstyles. Move to the body, sketching the fingers and toes. The anime girl body sketch is done, and it's time to move to the final details.

Now, using clear and dark lines, carefully trace the large and expressive eyes, adding pupils and simple eyebrows. Next, trace the neat nose and mouth. Next, draw the hair in all the details, as is done by the artists of Drawingforall.net. Now grab an eraser and clear all unnecessary guidelines from the head of the anime girl.

Step 6

Continuing the lines of the head trace the neck, which smoothly goes into the torso. Carefully trace all the details of the torso, as sketched by our artists. When tracing the torso, consider the shape of the few muscles and bones under the skin. Complete the sixth stage by removing all unnecessary guidelines from the torso.

Step 7

Continuing the shoulder lines, carefully trace the upper limbs. Be especially careful when you draw anime hands. Pay attention that most often women's arms should be much thinner than men's. Finalize the seventh stage of the instruction on how to draw an anime body by erasing all unnecessary guidelines from the upper body.
