To draw an anime body, start by drawing a stick figure with small circles at the joints and triangles for the hands and feet. Then, draw the head, neck, and torso with a waistline on top of the stick figure outline. Finish the body by drawing the limbs, using the joints to guide you. Once you’re finished, add the finishing details, like hair, clothing, and shoes.

You can see the main stages of the drawing in the preview example above. There are also many more illustrations throughout the tutorial that provide the proportions and close up examples of the smaller parts of the body (to make them easier to see).
Please note that this particular guide is for an average looking high school or adult anime/manga female. The proportions for kids are generally different.
If you are going to be following along it’s recommended that you make the drawing as large as you can to make it easier to add the small details. Unless drawing digitally start in pencil and make very light lines that you can easily erase as you will need to do so in some of the steps.

First draw a straight vertical line through the middle of your drawing area. This will act as a guide to help insure that the body is not skewed to one side. As the drawing is symmetrical the line can also help you see if both halves of it are even in width.
Towards the upper end of this line draw the head. Place it in a way where you have bit of room at the top (if you wish to add the hair) and plenty of room at the bottom for the rest of the body.
To make it easier to structure the head you can first draw a circle for it’s upper part and then add the lower part onto that as shown in the example above. You can erase the lower part of the circle once done.

As this is an anime character be sure to make the lower half of the head quite small and give it a fairly pointy chin.
Going down from the head add the neck and body. However, before you start with this part of the drawing you should read the explanation below.
One way to measure the overall size of the body (with the legs) is in relation to the head. In this particular drawing it will be six and a half heads high. As mentioned at the start of the tutorial these kinds of proportions can work quite well for some of the more common/average female anime characters such as high school students and adults.

You may notice that in the above illustration the feet go slightly past the bottom of the measuring line. This is not a mistake but is done to account for “eye level”.
In this example the feet are well below the level of the viewers eyes so they will appear to go farther down than they actually are. Measuring the height from the tips of the toes to the top of the head would be similar to measuring your height by stretching a measuring tape from the tips of your toes to the center of the top of your head. The measurement wold be off.
To get the correct measurement in this case you would want to estimate where the heels start and go from there (as is done in the example).

Please note that these are just recommendations for getting a generic anime look. The proportions of anime characters can vary depending on many factors including the style of the artist.
For the actual process of drawing the body start with the neck and shoulders. Afterwards outline each of the sides leaving openings between them and the shoulders for the arms. Overall the body should be shaped a bit like an hourglass where it’s narrower near the middle and gets wider as it goes up and down.
For this step add the upper parts of the legs as shown above. You will want make these wider at the top and narrower as they go down with a bit of a curve in the overall shape of each of them. However, you will again first want to read the explanation below before drawing.

In the above example you can see that the legs are roughly as long as the head and body combined and that the knees are positioned about halfway between the bottom of the body and the bottoms of the feet. Be sure to keep these relations in mind when you draw.
Draw the lower part of the legs in a way where they first get wider as they go down and then get narrower towards the feet. The part where they get narrower as they go down should be taller than the part where they get wider.
Before adding the feet draw what looks like a pair of bumps on each side of each leg to show the bones that stick out in those areas.

Going down from the “bumps” outline the feet with their shapes getting wider towards the bottom. At this stage draw the toes as one combined shape that’s a bit narrower than the foot (you can see a larger drawing of the feet at the end of step 9).
Coming out of the openings between the shoulders and body add the upper parts of the arms. However, once again you should read below before you start drawing.
It’s a bit difficult to measure the proportions of the arms. Generally you can make the area from roughly the end of the curve of the shoulder to the part where the arm bends the same length as from the bend to the wrist.

Draw the lower parts of the arms similar to the lower part of the legs where they first get wider as they go down and then get narrower again. The wrists should reach to about the bottom of the body. As in this case the arms are held slightly to the sides they will be a little bit higher up.
