How to Draw Elly (from Xenogears)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw Elly from "Xenogears", one of the coolest RPGs out there. :) Start out by drawing the usual large circle for the main part of the head. Draw the lower half of the face, which is about half the length of the main circle. As shown by the picture at the right, the entire face can be divided up into thirds. Once you have drawn the basic shape of the face, add in the guidelines so you know where the eyes, nose and mouth should go. The eyes are small, and thus the guidelines for the eyes should be kept close together. The same goes for the guidelines for the nose and mouth. Most anime faces have the nose and mouth grouped together, so don't make the guidelines too far apart. ^_^
