How to draw an anime character in Procreate is a question many new artists ask themselves, and here I'll share my process. For this Procreate tutorial, I'm subtly reinterpreting Asuka from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, and give her a bit of an anime twist. 

I'll be using Procreate on my iPad Pro – I love this creative combo! If you want to get a similar setup them read this site's guide to the best iPad for drawing, as well as the Apple Pencil 2 review to get an idea of how this works. Follow my advice below or scroll down for the final artwork.
