Why do People Think, that Drawing Anime is Easy?Īnime is a very specific art style, that draws focus to the face (especially the eyes) to effectively show emotion. Anime is an abstraction of reality and as such sometimes even harder to draw than a realistic picture. You will have to know basic anatomy, you need to be able to render properly and understand perspective as well as how light and shadow work. Apparently it looks easy enough to draw.īut is Anime easy to draw? The short answer is: No, it isn´t easy to draw! Drawing Anime requires very similar knowledge than drawing realistically. For some reason, a lot of people will automatically assume, that because it is “just” anime that it is easy to draw.


So I have been asked this question a lot whenever someone was looking at my art.
