How to Draw an Anime Girl Sitting
Anime is a popular style of illustration found in art, cartoons and comics. Drawing a figure of an anime girl is similar to traditional drawing, with a few distinctions. Anime style is less realistic and more exaggerated. There's also an emphasis on innocent, youthful looks and schoolgirl clothing. To draw an anime girl sitting down, you need to position the curves of the body realistically, so that the seated pose looks natural.

Sketch over the torso to create a collared sailor dress, a common design in anime. Draw arms coming from the shoulders of the dress, to rest in front of the body. Extend the dress out at the bottom where the hips would be, and create a curve for the backside, starting below the waist.
