How to Sketch an Anime Kiss

Step 1.


Here is a little pre-tip before the actual drawing steps. The guidelines won't have the blue profile face and chin because it obstructs the drawing. Just in case you need a guide for getting those chins in. Here it is. The arrows show how the chins a   

Step 2.


We are taking a shortcut in the guidelines. Draw the two circles with the long lines for the neck, shoulder and Usui's hand. Sketch them with a No. 2 pencil. Remember to do it lightly for easy erasure.

Step 3.

Step 11.

Step 14.


Check out this cool peek at different viewpoints of a single kiss. Notice the "S" rule and "upper lip with nose" are in the bottom side profile pictures.

Step 15.


Without lighting, we have a flat subject. That's what makes Usui & Misaki so interesting, dramatic lighting. The red arrows are direction of light. Blue arrows are the shadows him being turned away from the sun, and is Misaki in his shadow. Here are    

Step 16.


Last but not least, I want to show you how great a pencil is. And you can get these same effects with a regular No. 2 pencil. The first picture shows how to hold your pencil for Overhand (great for writing & details) and Underhand (great for shading
