Anyone can create original anime characters if you practice the basics. People who draw anime in books, which are called Mangas (japanese comic) are called Mangakas. many have similar art style if you pay close attention to things such as eye styles and body forms, many however have very distinctive styles which can be recognizable on site. For example , I am a big fan of Miyazaki well known anime artist . In his work which include movies such as " Howle's Moving Castle", "kiki's Delivery Service " , and " Spirited Away" to name a few, you can see that his artistic style is unique and very recognizable. There is a long process to create anime characters if you are a Mangaka and or creaking anime movies like Miyazaki. It requires intensive sketching , resketching, redrawing etc. Special tools such as special artist t ools , brushes , pens , etc are used .If your making a movie it takes a whole other level similar to when a manga is turned into an anime. But all in all anyone can draw anime , your own anime, there are people who are skilled and can create anime characters similar to those you see on TV , and then there are people who bring a new look into the way an anime looks. For example when you look at a Japanese comic ( "Manga"), versus a Korean comic ("Manwha"), you can see a very big difference in eye forms and you can see how different yet beautiful both are , it all depends on the artist's taste.
Animators draw the main poses of an action and either go back and fill in the inbetween drawings themselves or hand the drawings off to inbetweeners who draw the remaining drawings. Background artwork is created, usually as paintings. If there is any computer animation in the anime, computer animators build and animate the CG models.

Anime is a form of fantasy and so the characters will resemble people that come from the artist's fantasy, often their own ideals. Add to that the societal value of slenderness you will have the over-exaggerated anime body proportions of super skinny characters.
