Step 1: Draw the Basic Outline\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Draw a basic outline of your anime<\/a> character using simple strokes in a light blue color so that you will be able to distinguish it from other outlines later on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step 2: Refine your Outline\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Add a new layer and use your previous layer as a guide to draw a more precise outline. Delete your blue outline when finished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step 3: Final Outline\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reduce the opacity, and add a new layer for your final outline. Trace a final outline using clean and deliberate strokes. Make sure you get all of your details exactly right and correct previous mistakes. Delete or hide previous outline when done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step 4: How to Add Color to your Drawing\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Use thick colorful brushes to add the basic first layer of colors to your drawing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step 5: Add Shading\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Add a new layer and outline the areas of your drawing you wanted to shade. Color this outline in dark black when you are ready.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step 6: Background Color<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reduce the opacity of your shade layer for a more subtle shade. Use brighter tones of color to add lighting and reflection into your drawing.\u00a0Finish your drawing by using a translucent brush to add shading and texture to your background. This creates ambiance and gives your anime character that final touch of realism it needs to compete in this week\u2019s challenge!<\/p>\n
