Description

This tutorial will teach you how to draw a basic chibi girl. This is just the basic design so you can change it up however you like!

Instructions

  1. Small chibi1 1323123470

    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

  2. Small chibi2 1323123179

    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.

  4. Small chibi4 1323123204

    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.

  5. Small chibi5 1323123222

    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.

  6. Small chibi6 1323123240

    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.

  8. Small chibi8 1323123252

    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.

  9. Small chibi9 1323123284

    Now, we can draw the hair. Draw a line above the top of the head, following the curve.

  10. Small chibi10 1323123290

    Now draw the hair that would be in front of the body, you can use a pic for reference.

  11. Small chibi11 1323123303

    Now, draw the hair that would be behind the body and neck... again use a pic for reference if needed. You can also erase the guide lines we used for the face.

  12. Small chibi12 1323123312

    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.

    Yay! We are basically done. Just draw some clothes on your chibi and color her if you choose! Thanks for using my tutorial!! Hopefully I will get around to making more!!
