How to draw anime characters tutorial?

Anime has a very distinguishable style. When drawing anime, there are a few rules to follow. Most importantly, the exaggerated features:

Eyes. The eyes are always large and take up almost half of the character’s face. What’s more, they usually contain black circles in the middle with coloured outside rings. The colours can also be exaggerated, some eyes, for example, can be purple.
Hair. The anime hair is usually in a very strange, unnatural shape. The characters’ hairstyles are always exaggerated and, once again, the colours can vastly vary.
Facial expressions. Facial expressions are conveyed in an interesting way. For example, teardrops in the eyes is a sign of embarrassment. Facial expressions are strongly exaggerated, making the characters very expressive.
