How to Draw Chibi Emotions, Step by Step

September 4, 2010 in Chibis

I’m very excited and happy to present to you a fascinating tutorial that will guide you on the proper way to learning “how to draw chibi emotions“, step by step. Here I have a few nifty links that guides you on drawing these emotions. Also, there is some cool tips and tricks that will aid you to draw better. I’ve been spending a lot of time practicing the way of the anime and manga world. Besides, did you know that a manga and anime is basically the same thing? A “Manga” is a mere comic book and the term “Anime” is the encoded version of “animation”. I’ve always been knowing that, thought I’d share it with all of you good folks of the site. Anywho, how about the lesson? Here I give you a few short preview thumbnails on what the lessons look like (from a birds eye view):

Tip 1. Always plan the emotion you want your chibi character to be set with. In these cases, there are several emotions that you can get some ideas from. My little tip to you is to start off by drawing the basic shapes of the type of chibi head you want.

Tip 2. Begin defining the facial expression you desire. A few chibi expressions are a little difficult to achieve because of them seeming so similar to other expressions. For instance, a super happy emotion may also seem like a crying emotion.

So there you have a few images and tips that show you a little preview on what you’ll be learning to draw. Take it from the pros, they surely know what they’re talking about, especially Mark Crilley. Be sure to check out sir Mark’s books out like Miki Falls and the new manga series Brody’s Ghost. Really good stuff folks! If you have any suggestions for DrawChibi.com, leave a nice ol’ reply at drawchibi@yahoo(dot)com.

Thanks, and have fun with your future drawing projects!

How to Draw Chibi Kiba, Step by Step

September 4, 2010 in Chibis, Naruto

Hey guys, I want to submit a quick and easy lesson based on a very popular Naruto character. From the feature image, you’ll find that it’s a character who has a canine appearance about him. Honestly, he reminds me a lot like the character Inuyasha because of the fangs and slit eyes. These features on a character is super awesome and cool that it’s hard to resist them! I know I may sound a little crazy, but hey, you gotta love this tutorial on “how to draw chibi Kiba”, step by step. Kiba is basically a minor character in the popular anime Naruto, yet he has become a raved character. I’ve never really noticed him until other artists have been requesting tutorials to “draw Kiba”. He has a pet that accompanies him whom goes by the name of Akamaru. Maybe later on in my searching schedule, I might do a tutorial on “how to draw chibi Akamaru”, step by step. Well, enough with the blab, let’s move onward to the lesson!

Step 1. Begin with the very basic guidelines for the chibi Kiba. This means sketching out a large circle that is semi-perfect. Add some guidelines within that circle and work your way down to the rest of the body. Drawing this first is very important when spanning out the whole body of the character.

Step 2. Draw the base of head so you can start drawing inner facial details. Once you’ve drawn out the face shape for chibi Kiba, work on the hair. Just so you know, this is the version of Kiba in his Shippuden form, which bares his hair and most of his facial details. Make sure you remind yourself that he has 2 markings that run down both sides of his cheeks.

Step 3. Work on basic detailing of the inner face eyes, village symbol headband, mouth, markings). Once you’ve completed this, move onto the next step. See how learning to “draw Kiba chibi” can be so easy?

How to Draw Chibi Sasuke, step by step

August 17, 2010 in Chibis, Naruto

Hey guys, sorry for missing out on updating “DrawChibi”. I’ve been very busy with drawing tutorials lately and kinda got caught up with it. Today I’ll be submitting a few lessons on some adorable chibis. This lesson I’d like to feature is on ”how to draw chibi Sasuke” . The pose is totally amazing and so is the line art. The line work is basically a sketch job using a graphics program called “Adobe Photoshop”. I’ll update the poll with some more cool answers for you artists to vote on. To ”draw chibi Sasuke”, you’ll want to round off the head proportions. This can be achievable by drawing the guidelines correctly. The body soon comes after completing the head and afterwords, you’ll have yourself a nice looking Sasuke chibi. If you have a bit of a trouble with the tutorial, try taking a few steps back and browse through the site for simple lessons on how to draw chibis. I have another partner lesson that features a tutorial to draw chibi Naruto. If you master this lesson, you can shortly pair Sasuke up with a chibi Naruto as well. Overall, you’ll have yourself a cool drawing on ” chibi Naruto and Sasuke”. If you really think about it, having them paired up in the poses they’re set in now, will create the ultimate artwork.

Step 1. Draw the guidelines for your chibi. By getting the pose of the body right with wireframes, you’ll be set to drawing the rest of the body pretty swell. I would recommend using a ruler and compass to create perfect and smooth lines. Use a blue pencil to set your guidelines.

Step 2. Start off by drawing the basic facial lines for your Sasuke chibi. I prefer drawing the eyebrows first and then the collar cuff. Note: only the back of his shirt has this large collar.

Step 3. Here’s the fun part of this tutorial. Here you’ll have to start shaping up the face of our chibi. This is entirely important because this is what shows through the chibitized version of Sasuke Uchiha. I had a lot of fun drawing this part since it’s so much fun making this in a smaller – adorable form. Take your time, it’s easy to make mistakes!

How to Draw Chibi Bleach, Step by Step

May 21, 2010 in Bleach, Chibis

Bleach used to be one of my favorite animes of all time. I remember wanted to cosplay as Rukia but decided not to because I couldn’t afford it. This year I got into the Naruto anime but that favoritism came to pass. Gaara was one of my favorite characters from that anime. Anyways, let’s talk more about this tutorial! Today in this lesson you’ll learn “how to draw chibi Bleach step by step”. There’s a lot of great benefits from this tutorial. If you’re not satisfied with this tutorial, checkout our chibi Bleach category at the right side or below the banner. In this tutorial you’ll be learning how to draw chibi Ichigo and Orihime. They’re both close friends in the anime and manga. Orihime grows feelings for Ichigo and becomes attached to him. Further into the manga, they become separated due to the new rivals…the Espada. Well now folks, enjoy the tutorial and happy drawing!

Step 1. Sketch the basic guidelines for your chibis. This means sketching out the two circles that are side by side and the dividing line between both of the circles. These lines will help structure the pose and facial details.

Step 2. Start this step by drawing the eyes, face shape, and the mouths. If you notice I added the little line above the lips. The actual anime and manga has this little detail.

Step 3. Begin with drawing the ridge of the hair. For Ichigo, sketch the bangs that overlay his eyebrows. It’s important to pay attention to the flow of his hair. Artists get this feature wrong sometimes. For chibi Orihime, add the split bangs that are held back by the pins. Once you’ve done this, move onwards.

How to Draw a Chibi, Step by Step

April 29, 2010 in Chibis

draw chibis drawingHey everyone, I’d like to submit a short and sweet tutorial on the most basic of chibis. Here I present to you a tutorial on “how to draw a chibi step by step”. I decided to make this lesson because of how specific it is. Drawing chibis will improve your skills on how to draw more advanced human bodies. The more you practice drawing them, the better you’ll get at other cute things. Don’t get discouraged when you don’t get the results you expected. It takes time and patience to draw a simple chibi. Now, you’ll get to the point where you’re going to have to learn how to draw a chibi face. My small piece of advice would be to practice whenever you have the free time. Even the most complex chibi can be very simple with patience and confidence. Confidence is also key for drawing characters. Equipping yourself with this element will only make you draw a lot faster. Some people call it luck, but I call it confidence. When you draw a chibi face, make sure you give it a cute “meow” mouth. A good example is this smiley: =3. You might be familiar with that smiley, everyone uses it. The eyes have to be perfectly proportioned as well. Well folks, let’s move onto the tutorial.

Step 1. Red through the tips and hints on how to draw the perfect chibi. There’s a tip where it shows you the different sizes and shapes a super deformed character can have. Many people have different styles on how they draw theirs. The next tip will show you how many different face shapes and eyes they can have. There are tons of different styles to try out on your chibi character. My advice, go out and explore how other artists do it!

Step 2. This is going to be the very first drawing step where you’ll learn how to draw the chibi. Sketch out the basic frames for the bodies. There are three body shapes in this lesson. If you want an ultimately cute character, draw the body super small and stubby. I have to agree, stubby chubby chibis are the cutest! If you’re trying to aim for a taller chibi, I would go for the last or middle one. After you’ve drawn the guidelines, move onto the next step.

Step 3. Begin this step by sketching out the detailing for the start of the shoulders and facial features. Drawing the head and then the body will make things a lot easier.
