This lesson on how to draw a boy will be done in a style close to chibi. This is a style close to anime, but different in that chibi characters have childish proportions and are drawn in a very simplified way.
But you can of course make the boy more realistic. To do this, slightly reduce the size of the head and increase the size of the body.
