Hello my friends from Steemit, for this post I will explain how I make my drawings of Animes characters step by step. I'm going to mention the techniques I use to make the shading, the edges and most importantly the eyes of these Japanese cartoons. If it catches your attention and you want to learn, you just have to keep reading.
First draw some lines in cross helping you with a rule, it is important that you do not support your pencil much because later you will need to erase it. These lines are to help build the face of your character, to define the height of the eyes, nose and mouth.
Then the face continues with the hair, the neck and the rest of the character but taking into account that each stroke you make with the pencil should be smooth, you should not so much support the pencil if you should erase something later it will be easier . If you need to erase make sure the rubber is clean so you do not stain your drawing.
When you are ready your drawing erases the cross-shaped line of the face very carefully and concentrate on it to make the eyes of your character, you must look well as are the eyes of the character you are doing and start retouching from the outside in . The eyes of the characters of animes vary a lot but nevertheless they have things in common, the edges are thick and dark here if you have to settle your pencil but very carefully and in one direction. Repeat several times to give depth of dark tone to the edge of the eyes. When you get to the inner part of the eyes first make the reflections, these are usually small white circles that you must do very carefully, then touch up very smooth with your pencil lines within the eyes that are barely visible and later with the fingernail of your fingers spread the lines that you have just drawn until a very soft blur is made. Something important to keep in mind is that blurring should not reach reflections.
When you finish the eyes of your character, now you must retouch all the lines of your drawing with your pencil several times very carefully, you must do it with a lot of calm and have a good pulse so that you do not get out of line, remember that you are now affinity your pencil and if you make a mistake it will be difficult to erase. Start with the face, hair and continue like this until the whole drawing is finished.
Finally it is the turn of the shaded, look very well where the character of anime that you are drawing and using the same technique of the inner part of the eyes is shaded, that is to say; trace very gently with your pencil very carefully the part where the shadows are made, do it as if you were coloring and then with the color of your fingers you have a blur until you get the shape of the shadow that the character you are drawing .
Well and that's how I do my drawings, I hope you have liked this couple of tips and that it will be very helpful if you want to start drawing the characters of your favorite anime or if they already do it to help them to reinforce their talent .
Greetings.
