Make Light Line Drawings First
Sketch to clean drawing anime eye
Draw using light lines first and
then trace over them with darker lines once you are sure that everything is in
the right place. This be especially helpful for large or more complex drawings.
Light lines are easier to erase if
you make a mistake and easier to make (you don’t have to press as hard on the
pencil so your hand will be less tired).
Even if drawing digitally it’s still
a good idea to first make a sketch and go over it with cleaner lines
afterwards.
Tracing your own lines will also
work as another exercise to help steady your hand.
Try and draw with as few lines as
possible. If you make a mistake with your first line it’s fine to add more
lines until you land the correct one but don’t scribble or draw extra lines
just for the sake of it. If you make too many mistakes erase that part of your
drawing start over.
Use Guide/Construction Lines
Constructions lines when drawing anime
Use guide lines to help yourself
draw. For example if you want to draw a symmetrical head/face from the front
view you can first draw a horizontal line though the middle of where you want
to draw the face. This line will help you make sure that both halves of the
face are even in width. You can then draw a horizontal line (or several lines)
to help you make sure that both eyes and both ears are on the same level.
