1. Begin by drawing a grid of guidelines. First, draw a straight vertical and a straight horizontal line that meet in the bottom left corner of the page. Then draw another pair of horizontal and vertical lines that meet in the middle of the page. Finally, draw shorter horizontal lines at the top and three-quarters down the page.
2. Erase the line at the bottom of the circle. Draw a wide U shaped line below the circle, meeting the horizontal line at the bottom. This outlines the cheeks and chin.

Then, shade a small circle inside each eye, and draw a larger circle around it. These are the pupils and irises. Erase the horizontal guideline. See this drawing guide for more detail on how to draw anime eyes.

7. Use long curved lines to enclose the top of the hair. Notice how the two lines meet and dip inward at the crown of the head.

Consider this example of a child's head. Notice that the points such as the chin are softer. The face is wider and rounder, especially at the cheeks. Even the eyes are rounder and less square.
Compare this to the teenager's face. The teen manga face is longer than the child's face, but it is still rounder and less defined than an adult face.
Even with a similar hairstyle, this final image is clearly older in age. The chin is more pointed, the face slimmer and more elongated.

Let's compare a cute anime girl and a standard anime boy below. Based on the roundness of the faces, we can assume that both of these characters are teenagers or young adults.
What differences do you notice between the facial features? The man's chin and jaw are more angular and defined than the woman's. Her face is round, almost circular. It is more childlike.
Finally, look at the eyes. Both characters have eyes of a rounded rectangle shape. In each, the lines are thick, especially on the top and outer edge. But this feature is especially exaggerated in the girl's eyes, suggesting her eyelashes.

At the bottom of this round figure you can see the angles of the lower jaw. Do not forget about these specifications when you depict the outline of the head.

Let’s work with facial features. In the anime style, the nose and mouth are usually presented with a pair of simple lines. This lesson is no exception as you see. The main thing is to depict the nose and mouth in the correct location.
After that we can depict the contours of the eyes. It looks like two large upturned arcs which are limited from above by smooth horizontal lines.
Add some facial features. Depict round pupils and contours of thin eyebrows. In this step we will also draw the ears. Pay attention to the location of the ears.

In addition, you should trace the necessary lines to make them clearer, more beautiful and completed.
To give your anime face drawing a complete look, you need to sketch some shadows. You can see the shades that are localized above the eyebrows and on the neck area. In these places, the light is covered with hair and chin, respectively. Paint over the pupils of our anime person. It is critical not to paint over white highlights as in our sample.
