Drawing an anime face from the side view can seem easy, however, it can actually be a little tricky. To make the process easier to understand this tutorial offers a very detailed breakdown of structuring and proportioning the head as well as placing the facial features. You can see the main stages of the drawing in the preview but many of the steps have additional examples.

Above is a video that show the drawing process line by line. It’s recommended that you watch it and then follow the steps below that provide more detailed instructions.

First draw an oval for the upper part of the head. As this is an anime character (they tend to have large foreheads) you can make it quite tall.
Next, draw the lower part of the head starting with the front of the face. Show this with a line that runs down from the side of the oval at a slight angle. It should then be followed by the tiny curve of the chin and an outline of the jaw.

Onto the front of the face add a curved line that defines the bridge of the nose and runs down to it’s tip. The tip should be slightly higher up than 1/4 of the height of the entire head (starting from the bottom of the chin). You can see more on drawing the nose in step seven.
To keep the drawing from getting too cluttered you can erase the line used to define the front of the face so that it looks similar to the above.
Going down from the bottom of the head draw the neck. Make it fairly thing in relation to the head (as again this is an anime character). Because the neck is being viewed from the side be sure to draw it on an angle.

Once you have the neck erase the lower part of the oval from step one so that your drawing looks like the above example.
Position the ear so that if the head is divided in two vertically (not counting the nose) it will slightly past this halfway point.
The eyelashes will define the shape of the eye. Position them below the horizontal halfway point of the head as shown in the illustration.

If you need to see the details you can find a close up step by step drawing of the entire eye in step eleven.
Inside the outline of the eyelashes add the iris. As the eye is being viewed on an angle make it oval in shape. Also keep in mind that it’s upper part will be partially covered by the top eyelid.
A little bit above the eye add the eyebrows. Make it wider towards the forehead and narrower as it goes in the opposite direction.
Definitive Guide To Drawing Manga Hair
Using the line between the tip of the nose and the chin as a guide outline the lips and lower pat of the nose as shown in the example. The bottom lip should be about 1/8 of the way up from the bottom of the chin and the bottom of the nose should be close to another 1/8 of the way up from that.

When you have the lips outlined you can erase the line used as the guide. Afterwards draw in a little curve to show the mouth. As is common in anime and manga you can leave a little bit of space between it and the lips.
As the hair is fairly complex and detailed drawing it is split into three sections that are shown in different colors to make it easier to distinguish between them. These are as follows:

Start with the hair at the front. As this is anime hair you will want to draw it in fairly large clumps as shown in the example.
Draw the hair on the side of the face running down in one large clump that splits in two at the end. You can also add a line that shows a bit of a fold in it.
Draw the top section of the hair starting where the upper/front leaves off. It’s shape should somewhat follow the shape of the head and run all the way down to the back of the head.

Next draw a series of clumps at the bottom along with a couple more folds around the ear. When adding the clumps try and slightly vary the direction of their bends/curves so that they look more natural.
With the main parts of the head outlined and all of the facial features placed you can add the smaller details of the eyes.

Above is a full breakdown of drawing an anime eye from the side view. At this step of the drawing you should be at stage four of the above (last example in first row). Here you should:

For this step first fill in the iris, eyebrow and hair with some basic shading. You can also use color if you prefer. When doing so leave a white streak in the hair for the highlights (light reflecting from it).
The position of shadows depends on the type of lighting you want to draw the character in. However, in most anime scenes the shading is done in a fairly generic way, appropriate for most common lighting conditions such as a well lit room or daytime outside.
Anime characters have proportions that are different from those of real people. This can make drawing an anime face a bit complicated.

How To Draw A Side View Face Anime
In drawing faces & heads, in any style (whether it be Manga & Anime, Cartooning, Illustration, or whatever), profiles help us understand the main differences of people’s heads. In Manga & Anime style illustration, drawing the face’s side view is often the most fun thing to do. In this way, we can really know and familiarize the face of the character we are drawing. Shapes can vary, but whatever the shape is on the side view, it surely affects whatever can be seen on the face’s front view. So to better know the face, look at the person’s profile.
Below you will find some simple Manga & Anime style illustration guidelines for drawing the human face in profile view (side of the face).
You can start the profile view of the face with a simple circle. A circle shape is ideal for drawing the Anime / Manga face & head.

Drawing The Face In Profile
Now draw a line horizontally through the center of the circle. Now you have 2 halves of the circle. Cut the bottom half of the circle in half horizontally again. Also draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the circle. See the picture above if I confused you.
Now draw a line down the center of the circle vertically (up and down). Also draw a diagonal line from the left side of the center horizontal line down to the left side of the 2nd horizontal line…and keep the line going until you pass the 3rd horizontal line.
Now we have all the guidelines in place to start drawing the Manga / Anime face in profile view. You can see that the diagonal line that we drew is a guideline for you to place the forehead and chin line. At the 2nd horizontal line is where you start the curve for the nose. At the bottom horizontal line is where you start the lips. And you can draw your Anime character’s ear in between the 1st and 2nd horizontal line, towards the back of the circle. Draw a curve from the ear to the bottom of the chin. Also draw the head on top of the original circle.

Now draw the eye behind the diaganol line, in between the first and second horizontal line (the same space as the ear).
