I’m not the best drawer but here are some tips I’ve been living by.

Head:

The most basic, draw a circle to get the feel and then draw lines so the face is symmetrical. 

As we all know, the typical anime face is like a pentagon. When drawing the eyes, make sure to leave room for the cheek on the face

Draw small lines under the mouth to define the lower lip

When drawing hair, draw the basic form of the hair, and then draw the smaller strands

Body

This torso only apply to anime girls, I forgot to add this but don’t forget the shoulders. 

I draw hands with a square and than add four fingers on top and the thumb on the side (ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE THUMB IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, omg)

I did a lot of small tips, so if you need any specific help ask me.

Always draw a basic figure before drawing in the details. Here’s a tutorial about getting clean lines in traditonal

This a tutorial about expression

Bunch of generic tutorials that is kind of complicated

To get better, always look for inspiration and draw all the time. I’m not even joking, all the time. I got points docked off one time at school.

Here’s a download for Painttool Sai

This a really nice program but you’re probably going to need a tablet
