Step-by-Step Tutorial for Drawing an Anime Cute Girl (Full Body Figure Drawing)
Follow this easy, step-by-step guide to create a cute anime character striking a full body pose. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you can master this beautiful girl drawing.
Anime Cute Girl in Full Body drawing - Step 1
1. Draw the round shape of the head, cocked diagonally to one side. Then, use curved lines to draw the ears, neck, and the guideline grid in the center of the face. This grid will help you position the facial features in a later step.

2. Use overlapping curved lines to sketch the girl's hair. It has fallen to one side and is, therefore, more visible on one side of the head.

3. Use curved lines to draw the closed eyes. The eyes should rest along the horizontal grid line, each taking up the outer two-thirds of that half of the line. Draw the curved eyebrows below them, and the blushing oval cheeks below the line, beginning at the halfway point of the eyes.
Use curved lines to draw the mouth, centered on the vertical guideline and in the bottom half of its grid section.
Finally, use curved lines to sketch the triangular collars of the girl's Sailor Moon-style school uniform.

5. Use curved lines to sketch the first of the girl's anime arms. Notice that she is making a "V-for-Victory" gesture as if she is posing for a photo.
Complete the torso using overlapping curved lines. Think back to the anime girl body base reference from a previous lesson as you consider the proportions of the torso and the legs to come in subsequent steps.

8. Draw the girl's legs using curved lines. Recall the exaggerated length and wide thighs of the running anime girl we considered previously. This girl's legs match those of the anime female legs drawing tutorial - a pleated skirt, knee-high socks, and Mary Jane-style buckled shoes.

What to draw next?
This tutorial combined a lot of the skills from previous lessons - the full body, face, legs, hair, and gestures.
Now, it's your turn to customize this cute character. Start with a different hair drawing. Could you make her even cuter with twin tails or odango buns? What if she had long hair or a short pixie cut?
Then, draw a different hand gesture. Could she be waving, saying "OK," or giving you a thumbs up? Perhaps you could bring her hidden hand from behind her back so that she can say "I love you" with a heart hands gesture.
You can also change her outfit with the following guides: How to Draw Clothes and How to draw anime hats.
