How to Draw Chibi

In this super simple drawing instruction, I’ll show you how to draw chibi for kids.

Chibi is actually an anime drawn in a special style. Among the distinctive features of anime, you can list a large head with an unusual shape, minimalist details, and maximum cuteness.

Earlier I already showed how to draw a man, and in this instruction, there will be similar stages as in the instruction on a man. But because the chibi is a very simplistic person, the stages here will be much simpler.

Step 1

Start drawing a chibi by depicting the head in the shape of a potato.

Step 2

Now with a few simple lines depict the torso below the head.

Step 3

Depict legs below the torso. Try to repeat their shape as correctly as possible.

Step 4

At the top of the torso, depict the neckline of the T-shirt and short sleeves.

Step 5

Draw the hands. Note that there are almost no details here.

Step 6

Go to the very bottom and depict the shoes.

Step 7

Go to the head again and depict oval eyes and eyebrows above them.

Step 8

A very simple stage in which you will need to portray a smile and an ear.

Step 9

Move even higher and depict the bottom edge of the hairstyle.

Step 10

Finish off the head by drawing the top of the hairstyle.

Step 11

Now get rid of all construction lines and give the chibi drawing a finished look.

Step 12

Now it’s time to paint the chibi. You can exactly repeat the color palette from my example, or paint your chibi drawing in any other colors.

You can leave your chibi drawing as in the last stage, or add some details to it. For example, you can draw a cap on the head, and some prints on the T-shirt.
