Step-by-Step Tutorial for Drawing an Anime Girl Eating

When you think of anime eating, it is typically male characters that come to mind. But we're going to shake things up and draw an anime girl eating rice with chopsticks. After all, a girl's gotta eat, too!
This anime girl is drawn with her head and face in front view.

2.Next, draw the face. While we are not using a grid on this one, you can place the facial features in relation to each other.
Place the large eyes squarely between the ears, the nose and "J" shaped chewing mouth between and beneath them. Outline the raised, surprised-looking eyebrows above the inner corners of the eyes.

3. Use long and short curved lines that meet at jagged points to draw the girl's hair (learn more about drawing long hair anime hairstyles). Extend two lines below the head to form the neck.

What to draw next?
This tutorial represents a fun moment well-suited to a slice-of-life anime. But is there more to the scene?
Why not draw the anime bento box or bowl from which the girl is eating.
Then, you can change her clothes or her hair, and introduce her to some friends. Perhaps a cute anime boy is dining nearby... Or her younger siblings: How to Draw an Anime Little Boy and How to Draw a Young Anime Girl.
Customize your drawing further with an anime cat drawing, sunglasses drawing, or a different anime girl outfit.
Are you able to swap her face to a different one? Like the one in this tutorial: How to draw an anime girl?
