This step by step tutorial explains how to draw an anime boy’s face. It shows how to structure the head and how to place the facial features using proportions common to anime and manga.
The boy show in this tutorial is intended to look about 8-12 years old. However, when it comes to anime and manga characters can often appear younger than their actual age. For this reason the provided template can also work for drawing someone a little older.
You can see a preview of the main stages of the tutorial in the image above but there are additional examples provided below.

Begin by making a straight vertical line through the middle of your page or drawing area. This will be used as a guide to help insure that things don’t get skewed to one side. The center line can also make it easier to see of both halves of the drawing are relatively even in width.
At the upper part of this line draw a circle to represent the upper part of the head. Be sure to also leave some room above that for the hair.
Going down from the circle add the lower part of the face. Since this is a young boy’s head you will want this section to be fairly short for a rounder looking face, longer faces generally make characters look older.

You can see the general shape of this part of the head defined by the broken up line segments. First there are two fairly straight sections that are angled slightly towards the middle of the head. These are then followed by a pair of curves and another pair of fairly straight lines that are angled even more towards the center of the head. These are then joined by another curve.
You can either draw one side of the face at a time or draw the segments in the order listed above (whatever you find easier).
Going down from the bottom of the head add the neck followed by the shoulders. You can once again see their shapes defined by the broken up line segments.

Draw each side of the neck angled curve slightly away form the center of the face with curves near the bottom. The neck should then transition into the shoulder muscles (fairly straight lines) followed by the cures of the shoulders.
You can erase the lower part of the circle draw at the start once done adding these so that your drawing looks something like the above.
To place the ears on the head you will generally want to do it in a way where their upper ends are below it’s horizontal halfway point. The lower ends can be between the halfway point and the bottom of the chin.

Please note that real ears are usually farther up on the head but since this is an anime boy the proportions can be different.
Anime characters (especially kids) generally have their eyes much lower down on the head than real people. To position the boy’s eyes you can once again use the horizontal halfway point of the head and place them just a tiny bit below it.
Since this is a boy draw the eyes bigger in relation to the head than you would for an older male character. This will create a younger appearance.

A little distance above the eyes draw the eyebrows. In this case they will be fairly thick (slightly more so towards their inner ends).
Draw the nose as a tiny vertical dash with its bottom close to the bottom of the ears (halfway between the horizontal middle of the head and the bottom of the chin).
In this case the boy will have a light smile. To show this draw the mouth as a curve and give it a tiny break in the middle.

Position the mouth just a little bit above the halfway point between the bottom of the ears and the bottom of the chin. The halfway point itself is actually the position of the bottom lip which in this case is not drawing (as is common in anime and manga).
Once you add the mouth you can erase the center guide line as well as any other guide lines you chose to draw.
The hairstyle will be slightly messy to help reinforce the character (boys tend to run around and play a lot). To make it simpler to draw the hair it will be split into tree parts. For more on this approach you can see the following tutorial:
Step By Step How To Draw Anime Boy Face
Begin by drawing the hair along the forehead shown in red in the example above. Draw this in fairly large curvy clumps (as is typical of anime and manga hair).
Add the hair on the sides of the face (shown in green). These sections should “hug” the face, curving around it. Draw them right over top of the outline of the ears and head.
Finally add the hair at the top and bottom/back of the head. Draw the top part curving around the shape of the head some distance away with a few random medium sized clumps tick out of it.

Start with the inner parts of the eyes. Add the pupils, reflections and a hint of the eyelids. Draw these as shown in the example above up to the fourth example. You can refer back to the last two once you get to the shading part of the tutorial.
Most of the details of the ear will be covered by the hair but you can see what they look like in the example above (again, leave the last one for when you do shading).
To finish the line drawing first add a little bit clothing. In this case the boy will be wearing a t-shirt. You can show this by outlining it’s neckline as shown above.

Once done with the shirt you can darken the drawing by tracing over it (if you feel the lines are too light).
This tutorial will use a technique called “Cel Shading” (standard in anime and cartoons). In short it means that there are no gradients (smooth transitions) but a hard line between the light and dark areas.
For the initial stage of the shading process simply darken the hair, eyes, eyebrows and shirt. Leave a streak of white spots in the hair for the highlights (light reflecting from it). You can either outline these beforehand or simply create them as you shade. If drawing digitally you can add them over top of the shading or you can do so on paper using a white correction pen. Leave the highlights in the eyes white as well along with the collar of the shirt.

With the above done you can begin adding the actual shadows. For this particular drawing the lighting setup will be as though the boy is either outside during the day or in a well lit room. In both of these cases the light will tend to come from above and the shadows will generally be cast downwards. Place them as follows:

The main focus of this tutorial is on personality. It shows how you can take the same anime style male face and transform it into different characters by tweaking the facial features and hairstyle. It also shows how to draw some of the facial expressions these characters are likely to have.
Before going into drawing specific character archetypes it’s a good idea to first analyze the characteristic features of male anime faces. While there is quite a bit of variation in the anime and manga style generally all anime characters tend to have large eyes, small noses amd simplified mouths with no lips.
Younger anime and manga male characters are often drawn with almost the exact same faces as females. Older male characters are more likely to have longer faces, wider chins, and smaller/narrower eyes (though still larger than normal). For this tutorial we will use a very generic male face that can be either a high
