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!

I think showing you this would be an awesome tutorial because of the different types of chibi expressions there are. How many of you practice drawing expressions? I practice lots of facial expressions when I’m doodling on paper. Sometimes I always find it exciting when I discover a new expression or emotion. There are limitless ways to draw these expressions that it’s mind blowing. Examine your friends or normal everyday people for emotions. Watch animes that’s full of emotion and observe the way they make faces. When you have a set emotion in your head, think of the style you want to draw it in. Naruto has a very different style compared to Bleach. Just remember to keep that in mind. So here we go now. Are you ready for the lesson? Let’s get started!

Step 1. Draw 6 circles for the 6 types of emotions we will be drawing in this tutorial. If you want to draw just one chibi expression, then draw only one of the circles with the desired expression. Don’t forget to add the guidelines so you’ll be able to draw the emotion right.

Step 2. Lightly sketch out the beginning spurs of the eyes, hair, and mouths. It’s always important to sketch out the face first, then the shape of the face. It all depends on your pace and way of learning.
