Let’s draw Shizuku Mizutani from My Little Monster AKA Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. Thanks a lot to Yuki_Cross for request! (^_-) Shizuku is your typical hard studying student not interested pretty much in anything else till she meets bad boy Haru Yoshida who instantly decides to be her friend and will change her life completely.
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 2
Notice that eye on the left is closer to the center line and jaw on the right is more angular.

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.
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 Shizuku 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! ^_^

For me it would be very interessting, how do you break the origin-drawing in the different parts. Mean, how do you get the right propotions, lines and alignments? I ask, because it would help me, to redrawn my OCs:)
I thought by me, that is your way. So, i will train it too:) perhaps it will works also to me;)
Not exactly, OC is for me and i think others too, the short-form from Own Characters:)
