Today, I'm going to teach you how to draw the hair of a manga female, which is just as vital as the eyes. The hair is hard to master because you want to make it look realistic and make it flow smoothly, take note of the volume and how the hair is supposed to look like on the head,  not choppy and unrealistic. So, let's get started. First, I'm going to do this based on long, curved in hair. The hair will be down near the waist. You start from the basic body structure you made, and draw a curved line higher over it, a reasonable amount, not too close to the scalp, and not too far so it won't look abnormal. Then curve down from each side to create both sides of the parts of hair, add a little pressure, then more, and slowly release the pressure.

    This makes the hair look smoother like it is in strands and this is also an ideal way of inking your image. Finish and connect by drawing the bottom parts of the hair and bank it back in near the neck for both parts of the hair. Next you do the bangs which will be side bangs and make a curved line on one side and finish it up, and end it three-fourths to the other side of the head and finish and connect the hair on the other sides making them separates (the hairline.) Lastly, make a few stray lines every now and then, and add and clean things up to make the image more realistic. Here is yet another guide line, and just focus on the long hair she has, but if you want to draw her, give it a shot!

   Hey, again! Today, I'll teach you one of the most crucial parts of an anime female, the eyes. Eyes are one of the most important parts in manga because just by looking at them, you can see the characteristics and personality of the character. Manga female characters are known for their large expressive eyes that usually takes up most of the space on the face. Okay, so let's get started first, you make an arc that serves as the upper eye and shade it in, then make a big, round oval, for the eye and don't make it sharp like the eye of a male it should take up three fourths of the arc! Add a circle to the right/left corner of the eye that serves as the glare produced by light. Also, make an iris in the center of the eye by making a slim oval and shade it in.

   Make another arc that goes right through the center of the eye and shade the upper part of the eye from the upper part of the arc you just made. Finally, add eyelashes as a curve over the upper eye lid and your finished! This is the simplest form of a manga and after practice, will come naturally to you. If you feel like you can, tweak some things to match the character's personality. Here is a sample picture as a guideline!

   Today, you'll learn about basic body structure of a manga female. It is quite easy to do if you know the layout of a person in real life and if you practice. You should know that this is the way I do my style manga, and If you like it, awesome. If you don't, make your own style, It's really fun! But for the body structure, It's mostly the same. So let's get started! First, you need to sketch out the head lightly so It's easy to erase If you make a mistake.
    It is a oval-like shape that is slightly pointy near the end that serves as the chin. The female has a less prominent chin and a smooth, not very sharp angled head that is wider than a males. My style includes no top of the  head unless the character has horns, cat ears, etc. because the top of the head will be covered with hair anyways. Next, you draw two, graceful curves that serve as the neck and don't make it too thick or the character will look like a male. In addition, make shoulders which is just plain lines on each side of the neck and curve down. An important tip is that the shoulders should be broader than the head always and not too broad to make it look male. Also, draw 2 sticks for arms, even them out to look realistic, and put the arms behind the back.

    Then draw the chest and bank down into another curve which serves as the stomach and bring them back slightly to create the hips and thighs so the person doesn't look like a deformed twig! The legs can be together and all you have to draw is a line in between to make them  into 2, or you can make them apart which is nearly the same process. Lastly, draw feet as a curve or rectangle like shape as a guideline connect and bring it down into feet. Erase sketchy or guidelines to create a clean finish, and you're done creating the basic body structure! This is just a preference/guide to get an idea of what the body is supposed to look like. Also, don't be afraid to change a few things. Keep the structure in mind but of course you can tweak the arms, legs,etc.  because art is limitless!
