If there is one thing that distinguishes anime, it is the eyes. You may argue that cartoon and western comic styles have and utilise large eyes as well. The distinction is that in anime and manga eyes, the iris is generally oval in form, or the iris is large in comparison to the rest of the eye. Anime eyes have a lot of individuality and are the first thing people look at. The head comes first, followed by the eyes. Especially the look in their eyes.
Step 7 â Detailing and Finishing the Line Drawing Erase the hair-covered areas of the head and add tiny features to the eyes, such as pupils and highlights. After that, you may go over your drawing with darker lines and add black fill or pencil shading to areas of the eyes and brows (depending on what you're sketching with).
A rough step-by-step procedure for sketching and coloring an ear is shown below. Although, for anime/semi-realistic portraits, I generally simplify the ear since sketching the whole ear might make it appear overly detailed. I suggest Pinterest instructional photos and YouTube videos for instructions on the eyes, nose, mouth, and brows, among other things! Studying the facial structure and proportions of beautiful girls and boys on Pinterest may also assist you in developing your own ideal aesthetic of beautiful features.
