    First off, I draw the head. You can choose to draw the body first if you like. Draw a largish circle shape with a flattish bottom. ish ish ish lol

    Next, draw two lines in the center of the circle. These will serve as your guide lines for drawing the eyes.

    Now, we will start to draw the eyes. Do this by drawing two wide, upside down U's on each side. Then connect the bottom with a slightly curved line.

    Now we draw the mouth. I drew a small semi-circle below the bottom guide line and in-between the eyes. However, you can draw any mouth you like.

    Next we draw the nose. I just drew a small curved line between the eyes and directly under the bottom guide line, but, again, choose any nose you want to draw.

    For eyebrows, just draw two curved lines right above the top guide line. But, if your character is angry, draw them closer to the eyes.

    Next, add detail to the eye. Basically, draw a large oval in each eye, then add two smaller circles outside of that. The ovals will be black, the tiny circles white, and the remaining space your eye color of choice.

    Continuing, we add the eyelashes. To me, chibi eyelashes don't look anything like eyelashes but whatever lol. Just draw a thick or thin (whatever you choose) line on the top curve of the eye and bring it out towards the bottom.

    To start the body, follow the basic guide I drew. Usually the legs and arms are long and the torso short. For other positions, search "chibi base" on the web and look under pictures.
