Chibi Art Class
WHAT IS A CHIBI?
Chibis are mini versions of Japanese-style anime and manga characters. They are defined by their large heads and tiny bodies, both of which contribute to their kawaii, or cuteness, factor. In anime shows and manga comics, chibis are incorporated to deviate from the current mood or feeling of a scene, to make it more lighthearted, poke fun at it, or add comic relief. The drastic change in the art style and mood can show the characters in a more casual light, contributing a fun and interesting addition to the story.
Over the years, chibis have become more diverse, with many different styles of drawing them (i.e., variations in details, anatomy, art style, etc.). Essentially, chibis are kind of like stylized caricatures of regular anime characters; certain facial and anatomical features are exaggerated while maintaining the overall identifying appearance of the character.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK?
In this book, there are lots of tips and tricks for drawing your own chibis, including bodies, faces, hairstyles, and clothing, along with coloring and shading techniques; nineteen step-by-step tutorials of chibi cuties and beasties; and an inspiration gallery of hairstyles, clothing, and much more!
Also included are blank body bases for you to start your own chibi drawings and coloring pages for you to practice coloring and shading. With that said, let’s get started with our Chibi Art Class!
Here are some key characteristics of chibis:
- A small body and huge head—bodies can even be smaller than the head.
- Faces with huge eyes and small noses and mouths.
- The hands and feet can be exaggerated to give a more “cartoon”-style look.

Draw Spring’s arms and legs, with her arms holding a watering can and her legs bent at the knees. Draw a flower to be watered! Add the guidelines for the face and the neck and ear. |
Sketch in her face—let’s give Spring a sweet expression, as she looks downward to attend to the flower. |
Spring needs some hair and clothes to complete her look! Let’s give her thick, straight, long hair with long bangs, loose tendrils, and a topknot. She wears a T-shirt, short overalls, and flats. |
Our sketch is messy—clean it up with your eraser! Draw in the sun and a flower accessory in her hair, along with any clothing folds and seams and strands of hair. |

Not only is the art work adorbs but it also has clear easy to follow instructions that are also super easy to modify so you can make the characters your own!
I also want to applaud the author for including how to draw boys!!
Also im so beyond happy this author included an actul picture on how to draw bat wings and didn’t just say “draw bat wings!”
My only complaint is the book wasn’t longer cause i want more how to draw content from this author!! Please do another book!!
