Chibi is an Anime character drawing that’s usually two to four heads tall. They have an expressive face and cute appearance as well. Chibi has been a widely adored form of Anime and here are some tips to draw the characters.
Drawing the head: Chibi heads are spherical. Features on the face are usually smooth and rounded. Eyes are big and distinctly expressive. Hair is made voluminous. Draw the linework as simple as possible. However, be careful to emphasize the unique features like eyes, hairstyle, among others of the character.
Drawing the body: The body is usually too small to support the head. No basic principles of anatomy have to be followed when drawing a Chibi. Place the features to create a balance between the torso and legs. Many times necks are omitted in a Chibi drawing. Shoulders are rounded with a simple torso, arms, and legs. Bodies are usually as uni-sexual, without any specific feature standing out.
With simple lines and minimal features, Chibis are super easy to draw and super cute in appearance. This is why much popular anime series in Japan has an equally popular Chibi version too.
