How to draw Anime Expressions

In this tutorial, I will teach you a few ways to give your character some

pizzazz!!

Why do I want to teach you this??

• Mainly because people always ask me “How DID you draw that??” and I am typically bad at explaining things in person, so why not give it a shot through text and pictures?? Hehehe!!• I’ve always wanted to make an expression tutorial, since I love drawing and I really enjoy

giving my characters personality and life through a drawing~

By the end of my presentation on How to draw Anime Expressions, I want my audience to

understand the importance of different characters with different expressions, how to

make a less bland character, and how to practice making new expressions on a character.

Reference SheetsLearning how to draw expressions is great for making reference sheets

for your characters. It’s also great for giving characters personality differences in a manga/story, so you don’t have a bland character!!

Practice drawing profiles. It’s understandable to just want to give up on drawing a face

from side view, but if you get it right, it can look fantastic!! Plus, people will like a

drawing more if it has a great side view face or a fun expression!!

LOOKING IN A MIRROR WILL HELPSome people think looking in a mirror is cheating, but looking in

a mirror to see your expression and taking photos of different expressions made by different faces is a BIG help.

If you’re STILL confusedLook up more expression tutorials, or look up “anime

expressions” or just “expressions” in general!! It’s never a bad thing to look at a reference for inspiration!

Come up with some neat ideas!!Grab a pencil, some paper, and start sketching some sweet ideas

down on the paper!!Let your imagination throw up it’s creativity all over that paper!!

You think you’re bad at drawing?

No worries. You’ll improve, I promise.
