Hmm... there was a time when I really suck at drawing, but after watching a thousand animes and reading mangas and being in a drawing club, I've improved so much and became one of the best artists in the 1st year batch.

Well, first draw the outline of the shape, you know, circle (Please use light sketches!!). Draw a straight vertical line to the top of the light circle to the bottom. Then add two horizontal lines in the upper middle. There, you have created the guidelines of the face of your character.

Then, add eyebrows. It must be parallel to the top horizontal line. Then the eyes. The lower part of the eyes must be parallel to the lower horizontal. Done? Sweet.

Then draw the nose and it must be in the straight vertical line and the lower horizontal. Done? Next is draw the outline of the lips. Done? You have created the face.

Draw then the hair in every style you want. After it is finished, draw the outline of the face. You know, final shape? ^_^! Done? Erase the guidelines or the light sketches.

Tada! You have done the face!

For the body part, it is very easy. Just do the light sketches first and then the rest will do its part. As for the hands, well, it seems easy for me as it is not for other people, but practice makes perfect, right?
