How to Draw Anime

Video Transcript

"Hey, welcome everybody, I'm Lars Erik Robinson. My company is Lars Arts all around Artainment. I'm going to talk about how you do anime. Now anime is very simplistic lines, cartoony slash Asian style work. It originated in Japan, over in Asia, and you see a lot of it kids ow with all the different cartoons that they like now based off of that. So, here I'm creating my own. They usually have very crazy hair styles. The eyes are very round. Kind of angular to them. The eyelid. So sometimes when they like, oh, when they have expressions they do like big water drops, like oh, I'm sweating, I'm nervous. They do huge water drops like that. Or the nose is like really small, just like that. And the mouth, let me see what kind of expression we could do. If they just have like, they just usually go like this, and then they do shadows in the corners of them. Just like that. And that's ow they leave it. They leave it very plain. Same with the rest of their bodies. Very angular, very simple line work. Maybe just a little touch of a finger nail in there. Well a lot of kids like anime, because of course they see it on all the cartoons, with pokemon, and whatever else they call it. And I like it too. It is the base off of characters. I draw a lot of caricatures, so. Then we'll draw the feet really big. This is all black, so if you fill that in all with black, they usually have very bold things. And if this was filled in all that, just doing this for demonstration purposes. They usually have that all filled in all the way. That gives you a little demonstration how to do anime. Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you so much."
