My teacher is wanting us to draw a realistic drawing for extra credit, and I only like to draw anime! Can someone give me some drawing tips for drawing realistically!? Thanks.

I can't draw anime, but to draw realistic would be to first draw a jaw, than work on the hair, look at a photograph or a portrait to give you an idea.
