hey everyone this is Mei Yu and welcome
to another manga drawing tutorial today
I'm going to show you how to draw
ariana grande with her cute cat ears as
a manga character step by step
this is a more detailed challenge
tutorial with slower step-by-step
instructions as many of you have
suggested if you like something easier
you can see my 600 + cute easy fun2draw tutorials including my two previous
Fun2draw
ariana grande videos all right let's get
started
okay first I'm going to draw a circle
for her head
i'm using a B pencil and I'll just
sketch out a round shape
it doesn't have to be a perfect circle
as I have something around in there to
represent the skull of the character
ok now i'm going to go down this site
going down towards the chin
ok so there's a chin
now i'm going back up so this right here
is the jawline and I'll curve up a
little bit more
now i'm going back towards the head and
let's draw a very simple area for the
ear
we'll work out the details later for
this area right now I'm just mapping
everything out for the initial pencil
sketch
ok so right now we have her
the round part of her head and then the
job part
let's go up a little bit more
so we have the curved line for the hair
which I'll show you a little bit later
on
so right now we have this part here that
goes towards the back for the hair
ok now for her face
let's draw the middle line first
so this middle line would go all the way
down the middle part of the head in the
face and it separates the two halves and
because she's kind of turned towards an
angle
this line is not actually going to be
like right here it will be turned around
with the face so that's why it's facing
this way more
ok and draw another line for the top
part of the eye line
sometimes I like to draw the eyebrows
resting on this I line and then let's
draw another line going down here for
the bottom part of the eyes
I like to do these two lines to really
help me place the different features on
the face correctly
okay once we have these lines are arrays
the first circle
they just fixed this area a little bit
it's always a good idea to keep checking
the proportions and the distances
between the different parts of your
drawing as you go along the drawing
alright so once we have these two lines
and the middle light now we can begin
with the different features of the face
my manga characters usually like to
start with the nose so I like to come
from the middle line go down a little
bit and then a curve in to form a little
bump for the nose
for this tutorial I'll draw small
nostril right there
erase this
part of the middle life so you can see
the knows better
ok and now for ariana's pretty lips so
underneath the nose
let's draw a line just to map out where
we're going to place the mouth
let's say it's right around here and
make it a little bit longer on the sick
and after will show you how to get her
cute little dimple inside
alright so we have the light for the lip
make it darker to define it more
it's tilting up a little bit on this
side
all right now that we have the mouth for
the top lip
I'll go above the line I'll draw a curve
coming towards the middle line here and
then from the middle line let's draw
another curve that was stretched out
towards the corner of the mouth that I
true
so something like that
ok
once we have the top lip
I'll draw the bottom lip under here as
one single curved line
she's got really nice pretty lips so
make them quite big like that
so there's some distance between the
different lines in the lips and that's
how I can make the lips look full
I'll make this corner of the mouth a
little bit longer
so her smile can be emphasized
there you go like that
now that we have the nose and the mouth
let's go into the eyes in the ieee room
so let's start on this side of the face
first
I'll go on top here and on this first eye
and on this first eye line
I like to start the eyebrow
as a line like that
I'll draw another similar line to make
the shape of the odd row once I have
this eyebrow i'll leave a space and i'll
come down here to form the upper part of
the eye
so this line would be the curve of the
top eyelid and it's just kind of coming
down like that
now i'm going to leave a distance
come down here and this lime drawing now
would be the lash line
so go up a little bit but there always
be a distance to make this part the
upper eyelid leave a distance occur down
like that a little bit and now i want to
curve up to draw a really nice curve for
her big eyelash which is coming up now
this is just one way to draw manga lies
there are many different kinds of manga
eyes to draw and for this tutorial i'll
draw the eyes like this in the future
i'll do all kinds of different manga eyes
so if you follow me you'll learn how to
draw all kinds of different eyes and
different techniques and I hope that
helps
alright so we have this line now I'm
coming up and now draw the side of the
eye and from this tip of the eyelash
I'll just go down this is a nice way to
draw a really nice thick single area for
the eyelashes
I'll polish the lines up a little bit
more
all right once we have these shapes
let's go into the bottom part of the eye
just drew a line it's a little bit above
this eye line which is fine
I don't always have to make this line
touch the guideline here
these lines are basically just to guide
you along the way we are drawing the
different features
so I have the basic overall shape now
for the I inside let's draw the iris
will make her look towards
the back a little bit more
ok
once we have the area of the iris
let's go into the highlights so here's a
big one right here
the oval and i'll draw another smaller
level down here and then the pupil would
just go behind everything underneath
just like that
ok
now as I now as i'm drawing the
different features in the face
I think let's make the width of the face
a little bit speaker
start down here
and basically just make the jawline
farther away to make her face look more
proportions and then this ear
I'll draw a few more lashes inside like
this it will be quite thin compared to
this shape because i want this to stand
out the most
alright so once we have this I let's go
into the other side
first the eyebrow
draw this line of the forehead a little
bit more
so I'm defining this line for this side
of the face
now let's draw the
upper part of the eyelet here ok because
of the perspective of the face
this side of the face would be smaller
than this and this lines that i'm going
to draw inside the upper eyelid would be
similar to what i have before but
they'll be facing the other way
so that's why i drew this line like that
but just flipped so I have that now
let's go into the lash line
ok so i have this distance inside to
make the eyelid look thick
now the lash line comes around and for
this long triangular piece
I just go out like that coming out to go
back in
some additional lashes but not too big
all right
no to make
side of the eye
so this line was separated the white of
the eye from this piece in the lash
get down for the bottom part so we're
going to leave a little space between
the bottom part of the eye and this
I line
hey all you raise these lines now we
don't need the manual
alright so we have the basic shape of
the eye
now let's draw the iris
so that that's a curve inside let's draw
the fake highlights first and then the
small one is red in the corner there
with the pupil underneath
okay excellent so we have her eyes
all done let me just move this line
above a little bit i think what I had
before was a little too low compared to
this I and I want to keep both eyes
looking like they're leveled just move
this line up a little bit there I think
that looks better once i have that i
like to go into this side of the face
and just try a little small line for her
dimple cute right
so we have most of her face all done now
let's go into her hair so this line i'll
continue up a little bit towards her
forehead erase this line here so you can
see it better make this eyebrow tilt
down little bitch and just noticing that
this eyebrow
it looks a little bit lower than that
one so let's just make this fit more
there we go ok so once we have her face
done i'll go into the hairline first
I'll rough out a really simple line
around the head so you can see where the
hair will begin
ok so it's going to be something like
that there's a dip in here in the middle
from this dip
I like to go up a little bit as a curve
like that
and then
let's map out a little bit more of her
hair on this site
let's make that lower little bit there
all right i erase some extra lines
so you can see the drawing better and
now i'm going up into more hair around
and then down towards this year
ok so once we have the basic shape
let's go in and I like to draw these
lines these lines will come from this
line and they'll all go towards this
line here just repeat these lines
some will get more curved as we get
towards the ear
that will just make the hair look more
natural
all right now for her cute cat ears
I like to draw another curved line that
goes around this side of the head
ok so it kind of goes in and then it's
behind this year here
make that bigger so you can see and all
you're a some lines
ok so this is the headband and then
let's draw her ears
let's do our one year coming up like
this that
so it's just the nice little soft
triangle shape the other ear will be on
the site and it can go up like that
all right now let's draw
her ponytail so we have the back part of
her head for her ponytail let's make it
really nice and big
this is one type of hairstyle and if you
follow along
I plan to do many different hairstyles
in my different magnitude tutorials in
the future
so thanks for subscribing and following
a lot i hope you learn to draw all
different types of hair and characters
ok so i'm just going down now and the
long flowing line
keep going down down down down down all
the way down here
she's got lots of nice long here on this
side to go down going to do and this is
just one piece of her here
I like to break the hair up into
different pieces so that way it's easier
to draw and then later on we'll fill it
in with lots of nice lines and texture
to make it look more like here but right
now let's just focus on the different
shapes
ok so we have one shape like I like to
draw another shape coming from behind
the ear
it curves out even more like this and
then it goes around the same
for the end all right let's do one more
like that so you can also see as we add
the different shapes and here you're
building the volume of the hair
ok so i think that's good enough for the
ponytail for now
and now for the body I want to draw a
little bit of the body before i move
into the rest of the here because the
hair is going to be on top of her
shoulder around here so much stronger
shorter purpose of the side of the neck
to begin the body and then the shoulder
I think I'm a coach in a little bit
smaller around just fixed a little bit
in the ear there
alright so now we have the neck then I
want to draw a shoulder as a curve
coming out and then i'll go down
into the arm and then here
let's say right around here so from this
part of the neck which is the base
I'll go down leave a gap and this is
where I'll start the curve for the chest
so come out like that out
curve it and then go back in and down
ok for the rest of the arm
let's imagine that this neck is coming
down
you don't have to draw this exactly i'm
just using us to plan where the arm is
going to end up so we have the shoulder
right around here and then the shorter
will lead into the arms of the let's put
the arm come down right around there
ok leave a distance and draw
the other line for the other arm or for
the other side of the same arm
there we go so have the two lines for
the arm and then
you're a little bit of her back
so a diagonal line for the back part of
her body
ok so now that we have the different
lines for the basic body shape i'll go
into her cute top
before I moving to the rest of the hair
because since we have this area
I think I like to draw her top now
so for this tutorial I'll give her a
cute little top like this
I have a curve going down
ok we'll stop right around there and
then it will go back up and you'll
notice that this curve is a lot bigger
than this will because this other body
is facing us more because of the way
that she's turned so everything on this
side will be bigger than that
this is a design inside her top and then
I'll draw the bottom so these lines are
seam lines in the top and then this is
the edge
ok
so cute ok so once we have that
I like to make you look a little bit
more detailed and fancy looking so just
drawing these curved lines inside to
design the top four
ok
then I'll draw a little bit of a curve
coming up
alright so once we have her body done
now let's go back into the hair so we
have this side
now let's have some hair spilling out
from behind and covering her shoulder
so let's draw one piece like this
so i have this piece curling around from
this side now from behind her face
I'll draw another line you will go up
because the shoulders right here
so up gently now flow down and then
we'll just make it and ride around
this is a little bit long compared to
this side so let's make this side longer
there we go so now the hair on both sides
match
you raise some extra line so you can see
the basic shapes better
ok excellent so once we have her basic
hair shape stuff
let's go into each one and make it look
more like here by adding these soft
flowing lines and then we get soft
flowing license to just keep your wrist
really loose and just go like that
just keep repeating these lines in here
so these soft lines will help break up
all of these different spaces inside the
shapes we drew and that makes it look
much more natural
ok so we'll go ahead and fill in the
lines for all the different shapes in
the hair
ok so we're almost done drawing I want
to add a few more little detail see on
there so starting with the neck area
right here at the base of the neck
usually for my manga characters are like
to give an indication of the collar boat
and part of the next so let's try a
little bit of that right here this line
is a collar bone and this line up here
going towards the neck is just a little
bit of the structure of the neck itself
ok so just a little bit like that let's
not make the lines too long otherwise I
think they'll be distracting but at
least we have a little indication of her
collarbone
all right ok so that just makes the
character look more realistic
let's go up into the ear and I'll draw a
simple design to show that she has like
the inside part of her here will draw a
line like this first occur and then a
simple curve or two inside
now she has all different types of cat
ears
I've seen her word ears with lace and
with little flowers on them i thought
those are so cute
but for this tutorial i think i'll go
with some simple little over designs to
show
she has some little sparkly things on
the surface
so just draw a few little ovals and
groups of them on the cat years here and
there i won't cover the whole surface
with the ovals because i don't want this
to look too busy
ok let's go into here this side just a
few little ovals here and there
so once we have the drawing done i'll
show you how I'm going to ink this
drawing
alright so i have my black brush pin and
I linked the drawing starting with the
face
so I'm coming down here
I'm not pressing too hard on my pin
because i want the line to be quite thin
and delicate going into the chin
and basically i just go all the way
around the different areas of the
drawing
ok I'm going into the eyes
so for this I i'll draw the upper eyelid
first
ok once i have that i'll go into the
lash line
ok now i don't care about keeping the
pressure light because i want everything
to be quite dark in here especially this
area now just using my pin to color in
that part of the eye
ok so now this part really shows and it
really reminds me of her makeup
now i have the smaller lashes but i'll
make sure they're not so big because I
want this one to stand out the most
ok go into the bottom and then into the
eye iris the highlights and then the
people in the pupil is really dark so
shaded in like that
and shade a little bit around the eye
just like them
ok so I have some more depth
in the eye once we have this eye done let's go
into the other eye
so basically I just do the same
right so we have her eyes
let's get into other areas of her face
and then the hair
this is the headband and then the cat
nice little sparkly bits inside
ok once i have the cat ears let's go
into the back part of the head down here
continue these hairlines they're all
being pulled back towards the ponytail
and then the ponytail it's so just like
how i do it i'll use my brush pen to
make these long wavy flowing lines all
the way from top to bottom
into the curled in this side and the
back and now into the body feel the neck
a little bit at the base of the neck and
the color book
you're going down towards the chest and
then her cute top
so that's the arm coming out from behind
the hair and now part of top so going
into the two curves like that and then
the bottom part of the top
the detailing inside the top
once our body's done let's go into the
hair again on the other side
ok so i'm curling into this bit here and
curls around
and I'll just finish up the rest of the
hair
okay i hope this video helped you guys
