Now go ahead and draw in the rest of her hair and be sure to continue with the swept up in the wind look! STEP 12. Her hair will be swept up in the wind! STEP 11. Go ahead and draw in her choppy bangs with emphasis on a swept look. Anime bangs tend to be rather sections and a bit choppy. But lets continue on with the chibi anime girl. You can also use this tutorial up to this point to draw a boy if you would like. Most anime chibi bodies are very genderless. Now we can go ahead and draw in her cute playful body.
Go ahead and use whatever expression you want! I'm using some basic thick lined eyes and a basic smile. Now that we have the facial guide lines down, draw in some anime eyes and a mouth. Go ahead and draw in the basic rounded cross guide lines for your chibis face. Now we're going to need some help with the face. Add your chin to your circle and draw out your chibi body using angles, lines and circles. Try to make it as round as possible, but if it isn't perfect, don't worry about it. Now, taking what you learned, lets start to draw our own anime chibi! Start with the basic circle. Now you have your chibi head! After that you can choose from a variety of cute anime faces or expressions! I've drawn out several so you can get an idea of what you may want your chibi to look like.

It's easier to see if your proportions are off with the basic wire frame because there is less to it. As you build the body, keep the frame in mind so you can see any major flaws. If you plan on making larger feet and hands, you can try adding triangles to the ends of the hands and feet lines to help guide you through the width that you would prefer. Chibi anime characters can come in many different shapes and sizes, some small, some tall, but most all of them have a very similar frame to them. Here are a few to give you an idea of how it's done!

It's mostly composed of angles and circles. The basics of a chibi are fairly simple to grasp. Even though normal anime drawings already exaggerate the eye size of their characters, you will want to exaggerate the eye size even more with your chibi form.Īnother thing to note when drawing Chibi drawings is, the characters have wedge feet, or a very less detailed foot design.STEP 1. When drawing the faces of chibi characters you will want to make the bodies a lot more smaller than normal, and make their eyes larger.
If the character you are drawing has signature characteristics, like hair or clothing, in chibi form they will be very prominent, like in Chibi Moons design, her hair is a lot more detailed. The head should be drawn to be at least one third or even one half of the characters height.īecause the anime drawings are a lot more scaled down, some of the features of the original drawing are toned down or sometimes even ignored, and some features are exagerated. I think to start learning to draw chibi styled art, you need to understand the difference of proportions.Ĭhibi characters heads are usually big compared to the rest of the characters body.
