Most female anime characters tend to have big eyes, a small mouth, nose and chin and a fairly round face. The lips are usually either very lightly defined or not drawn at all. The hair tends to be drawn in clumps instead of individual strands and often as a somewhat spiky look.
If drawing using pencil and paper be sure to make very light lines for the initial steps of the tutorial as you will need to erase some parts later.
Above is a video of drawing a female anime face in the front view. It features updated art but is still very similar to the original illustrations. You can use it to see a more detailed (line by line) breakdown of the drawing process.
What Is The Easiest Way To Draw An Anime Girl?
Draw whatever face you prefer or mix and match elements from both examples. Also, definitely be sure to read over the instructions and explanations below as they are far more in depth than those in the video.
Start you drawing with the overall outline of the head. For an explanation of the drawing order as well as some general drawing tips see:
You can draw a vertical line down the middle of the head for the front view to help you insure that both sides are even.

Make a circle or a light oval for the front view and a longer oval for the side view to help you get the shape of the top of the head.
For the front view you can basically project two sets of lines down from the oval/circle that curve to meet at the chin.
For the side view there will be a sort of indent for the nose/eyes area. Draw the nose about halfway between the bottom of the chin (covered in more detail in Steps 3) and the middle of the head. You can draw a straight line going from the tip of the nose down to the chin (details of the mouth will be added in Step 5. Again for the side view you can draw a line going upwards from the chin and then curving again towards what will later be the position of the ears to form the lower jaw.

To place the ears first draw a horizontal line directly though the middle of the head and then draw another line between that and the chin. Draw the ears between these two lines.
For the side view placement of the ears they will be positioned slightly more towards the back of the head than the front.
As the ears will be covered by the hair in later step we won’t go into drawing their inner details. But if you would like to learn more about drawing anime style ears see:

To place the eyes on the head you can use the same vertical line used to place the top part of the ears. Draw the eyes directly below this line. The height of anime eyes can vary based on style and character type so there is no one sure way to place the bottom portion.
If drawing both views at once be sure that the positioning of the bottom portions of the eyes in both views is relatively even. A common mistake beginner artists tend to make when drawing the same face from different views is misaligned or differently sized facial features.
Also note that for this stage of the drawing process you can do a simplified shape of the eyes and leave the details for a later (covered in Step 7).

As already mentioned you will want to position the nose between the horizontal halfway point of the face and the bottom of the chin.
In the front view you can pretty much draw the nose as just a dot in the side view an anime nose is usually small and pointy.
To mouth is a little bit trickier to place as you will first want to get the position of the bottom lip in order to do it. Also keep in mind that when it comes to anime and manga the bottom lips itself is often not drawn in the front view of the characters.

The bottom lip will be positioned between the nose and the bottom of the chin. Draw the mouth itself slightly above that.
You can pretty much draw the mouth as one or two lines (really just one line with a break in the middle for the front view). If you want a happier/friendlier looking character you can draw it with a bit of a curve.
In the above illustration you can see how the initial straight line from the tip of the nose down to the chin can then be used help you draw the lips.

Keep in mind that the hair will overlap some of the other features of the character’s face. But it is still good practice to draw those out especially since they may be visible if you choose to draw a different hair style. You can erase the parts that are covered up by the hair once you are done.
For this stage you can simply draw out the major parts of the hair clumps without any of the smaller inner details of the hair. Try and vary the clumps slightly in size shape and direction to give the hair a more natural look.
At this stage you can erase the parts of the face that are covered by the hair and add the smaller details o the eyes such as the eyelashes, pupils, and highlights. You can also shade in the eyelashes and add some more details to the hair.

When drawing the eyes you can lightly outline the highlights (reflections of light) with a very light lines so that if you shade the eyes you don’t accidentally shade them in also.
This is technically a finished drawing and you can leave it as is but if you want to go a little bit further you can move on to the next step for the shading.
Anime uses what is known as “Cel” style shading (basically shading with no gradients) which generally makes shading fair fast and easy.

The way the shading is applied will be determined by two things. The areas that are naturally darker and the areas that have shadows cast on them.
Generally you will want to darken the hair and the irises of the eyes (leave the highlights white). Shade the pupils and the upper area of the iris even darker.
The way shadows are cast is determined by the light source. For the sake of this tutorial we will go with very “generalized” lighting conditions where the shadows are usually cast downwards.

Make sure not to apply too much pressure on your pencil at this stage because these are just the outlines that you’ll erase when you’re done drawing.
Then, add a horizontal line that also goes through the circle’s middle. This line marks the position where the upper eyelids should be.

As you can see, we also added another horizontal line slightly above the area where the upper eyelids will be. That’s where we’ll draw the eyebrows later on!
Make sure to angle the lines slightly toward the center of the face. The lower end of these two lines is where the cheeks will be.
As for the neck, you can draw it using two straight, simple lines which are connected to the jaw. Position these lines towards the centers of the jaw to make the neck thin and elegant.

Apply more pressure to your H pencil and go over the jawline and the chin, making them ever slightly rounder, like this:
