In Chibi Art Class, renowned anime artist Yoai teaches you the art
of chibi, step by adorable step.
Chibi is Japanese slang for "short," and chibis are mini versions of
Japanese anime and manga characters defined by their large heads and
tiny bodies, both of which contribute to their kawaii, or cuteness,
factor. Now, you too can learn to draw these adorable doll-like
characters.
Here, you'll learn how to create chibis' signature bodies, facial
features, and props, including dreamy eyes, fun clothes and shoes,
vibrant hair, colorful accessories, and lively backgrounds. You'll also
learn how to color and shade your vertically challenged characters for
optimal cuteness.
