Anime Girl Pencil Drawings

Anime girls in pencil: Nezuko with her bamboo muzzle, Mitsuri with her braids, Hatsune Miku with her long twin tails, plus a girl with a big bow, a shy girl in a cat-ear hoodie, a schoolgirl holding a book and a girl making a peace sign.

Start with a light outline in an HB pencil: the face oval, the eye line and the bangs. Add hair and shadows with a soft pencil, shading along the direction of the locks.

Questions and answers

How do I draw an anime girl in pencil step by step?

Draw the face oval and a cross of guide lines, then mark the eyes, nose and mouth. Next come the bangs, the hairstyle, the neck and shoulders. Erase the extra lines and go over the outline with more confident strokes.

How do I draw anime hair in pencil?

Split the hair into large locks with pointed ends instead of single strands. Inside each lock, draw a few strokes in the direction it grows, and leave a white highlight on the top of the head.

Which pencil should I use for anime drawings?

An HB pencil is good for the sketch because it erases easily. For dark hair, pupils and shadows, use a soft 2B or 4B.
