i know that an anode is a positively charged electrode, but can "anodes" also mean the positively chargeds ions between the electrodes? im asked to draw an electric field with anodes?

no, those are anions.
the opposite of cations, which are positive.
or as one of my science books put it, cat-ions are pu$$y-tive.
stupid yahoo won't let me write p.u.s.s.y.

ions are not anodes.
I would draw a stick , that is the anode, and then draw concentric circles around the stick that is the electrical field. on a circle the potential of the electric field is constant. the bigger the radius of the circle, the smaller the potential.
I guess that is a good answer ofr an ill posed-question of your teacher.

Positively charge ions are called anions. (Negative ions are cations.)
They are similar to 'anodes' and 'cathodes' as they both have 'an' and 'cat' roots.

anode is the NEGATIVE electrode,
cathode is the positive electrode

Just use the symobl (+) to designate that area.
