Let’s learn how to draw Yona from Akatsuki No Yona today! Yona (?? Yona) is the title character and protagonist of the manga series, Akatsuki no Yona. She is the princess of the Kouka Kingdom, the only heir of Emperor, and the reincarnation of King Hiryuu. (from akatsukinoyona.wikia.com)
Thanks a lot to B.ABOUDI for request. ^^
Step 1
As always all the blue and green lines are just construction lines and will be erased later so do not push on your pencil too much ^_^ I will try to be super efficient with text so will only describe steps that require some explanation.
Make sure to leave enough free space on paper for next steps. You can see how much space you will need from the size of the paper on this picture.

Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
Lighten all the construction lines by “stamping” the kneedable eraser on paper. Make sure to refer to the picture above as you need to ink only some parts of the construction lines. There are also some new lines so better sketch them in pencil first ^_^.
Step 10
Wait till the ink is nice and dry and erase all the construction lines.
Step 11
To add colors, make sure to sketch the color outlines with the right color or pencil first.
If your goal is to become a real Mangaka and design your own manga characters make sure to try to draw Yona from memory several times. Always compare the drawing to the original and correct any mistakes you see. Do this till you are happy with the result. It doesn’t have to look exactly the same, don’t sweat the details. The point is that you get the main shapes right and that it looks good. This is the best way to build a huge library of manga shapes in your memory that you can use to draw and design your own manga characters ^_-. Draw with passion! ^_^ Hiroshi (drawing by Bianchi)

That being said, I think here being ‘Super Efficient” with text is a somewhat a problem for beginners like me. Unless I trace (which I could do, but I feel it’s counterproductive to learning) it’s hard to judge where to put certain strokes, and a lot of my own effort seems out of proportion. A comment of “why this stroke first” or where it should be from frame to frame would be a bit more instructive. I know it’s more work, but it would help greatly. I am nowhere near your level at drawing, so every detail is difficult.
If I was an artist at your level, I probably wouldn’t need a tutorial on how to draw Yona or anyone. I am actively trying to learn and it’s difficult to do by trying to continually judge distance from screen to paper.
