Let's get started.
How to draw practical hips for your anime character - (step by step) easy guide for beginners
First I will draw the outline of the anime character in this pose.
This will make it much easier to draw the girl with her hands on her hips.
In order? Let's begin!
First, let's start with the shape of the head.
I'm going to draw an oval and then draw a cross inside the oval to help me draw the facial features later on.
I use the technical pencil brush in Procreate for this (it's free with the app), but if you're drawing on paper, make sure the lines are very clear, as we'll be erasing them later to overwhelm the figure. Approximate instructions.
I won't go into detail on how to draw anime heads and faces, as this post is about how to draw hand-on-hip position, butI bought this book to learn more about how to draw anime faces.
I strongly recommend buying this book because you will learn how to draw anime characters, their eyes and even how to color them.
Next, we will make a rough sketch of the neck and torso, just imagine a mannequin.
Now it's time to draw the joints.
The easiest way to draw the joints is to draw 3 circles:
- on the shoulders
- the elbows
- and the dolls
Just look below to understand what I mean. Do not draw the green lines, this is just for your understanding.
Now it's time to draw the arms.
Use sausage shapes to draw the arms – the circles make drawing the arms a lot easier.
Now we have to draw the hands.
The easiest way to draw hands is to draw 2 shapes: palm and fingers.
This will help us later when we draw the hands.
Pretend to draw gloves and remember to overlap your hands on your hips to make drawing easier.
Now we draw a rough guide of the anime girl with her hands on her hips.
We can start drawing the correct contours.
I'm going to lighten this sketch layer and start drawing the outline.
If you want to learn how to draw heads,please take this book- It's a lifesaver.
Remember to outline the head, torso and arms.
Now it's time to draw the hands.
I start with the palms first and then draw the fingers one by one.
I go into detail about itDraw hands on this post.Give it a try if you want to learn how to draw hands.
Next, I start drawing the eyes.
Anime eyes can be a little tricky at first.But this book explains very well how to draw anime eyes easily.
Now I continue to draw the pupils and iris of the eye.
Next, I'll add more detail by coloring some parts of the eyes and even adding a nose and mouth to the anime girl.
And finally, I add some space buns on her head.
I love to draw curly hairstyles and space buns are my favorite hairstyles to draw. here is onepost how to draw different types of space bunsif you are interested.
I'm not going to wildly draw her outfit because this post is mostly about the pose.
So I'm going to draw a simple sports bra and leggings to make things easier.
It's not easy?
I think I'm done drawing this anime girl with her hands on her hips.
Let's clean up the hard lines so we can see how it looks.
And now it's time to color the character.
First I will color the base colors by making her skin and clothes.
You can color your anime character any skin color you like.
Feel free to dye her clothes any color you like.
So I dye her hair light purple and add some pink curls into her space buns just for fun.
I really want that cotton candy effect on her hair. I'm also going to paint her eyes dark green because I think it'll give a real contrast to the pink and purple tones in this drawing.
I have a post on how to color my digital art. read this post if you wantLearn to color digital art.
Now I'm going to put some blush on her skin to warm her up and even add some highlights to my anime character and I think I'm done!
¡Voila!

Drawing poses is difficult and gets easier with practice.
This is how I learned to draw poses:
- Go to quickposes.com and practice drawing poses.
- Take pictures of yourself in different poses and use them as a drawing reference (one of the best learning methods).
- Or search for photos of people in poses online to help you better draw poses.
Don't worry if it doesn't turn out the way you want it at first.
It gets better the more you practice drawing.
