Method 1 of 2: Method 1 of 2: Side View - Manga Face (Male)
Step 1. Draw the outlines of the face
Start by drawing a circle and then add an angular shape below the circle for the jaw. Establish the position of the various elements of the face, using two intersecting lines as a guide.
Step 2. Draw the neck and shoulders
You can also add some details, such as the neck bones for example, to make the character more realistic.
Step 3. Using the intersecting lines of the face as a reference, draw the eyes
Keep in mind that in most manga characters, males have more linear eyes than females, which are usually drawn with more rounded eyes. Add the nose and lips.

Step 5. Using short, random strokes, sketch the hair
Compared to anime characters, manga characters are generally more detailed.

Draw the mouth slightly curved downwards, the eyebrows more or less horizontal and the semi-open eyes. You could also add light shading under the eyes, like "stress bags".

Draw the mouth slightly open, with the eyes wide open and the eyebrows raised.
