How to learn to draw in chibi style. Drawing a chibi girl in a tracksuit

The word “Chibi” refers to the style of drawing of various anime characters, which is characterized by drawing a small body with a huge head and eyes that occupy most faces, unlike the nose and mouth, which are very tiny. These anime characters turn out to be quite cute. IN this lesson we will draw a funny anime girl in Chibi (Chibi) style.

The well-known dolls of the “Monster High” (“Monster School”) series are also drawn in the “Chibi” style, which you can also draw using our step-by-step tips on our website ( see bottom of article).

Well, let's move on to drawing a Chibi girl in just nine steps:

Stage 1. So, let's start our lesson with step-by-step tips Chibi girl drawing. Before starting to draw the girl herself, it is considered necessary to make some sketches that will facilitate our drawing, they are shown green in the picture below. First we draw two circles more like an oval, and then several curved lines.

Stage 2. Let's start drawing a huge head of an anime girl in Chibi style. We first draw the contours of the head, focusing on the lines and circles we sketched, and then move on to drawing Chibi’s face. First we draw the huge eyes with glasses on, then we move on to drawing a small nose and mouth.

Stage 3. Next, we draw only part of our Chibi girl’s hair, that is, bangs that slightly cover her face. Since our Chibi's hair is quite thick and long, it is difficult to draw it at once at one stage.

Stage 4. For now, we will leave drawing the hair for the next stages, but now we will start drawing the torso of the anime girl, draw her blouse with a cute skirt and half of the hand with which she will hold the teddy bear.

Stage 5. Directly Teddy bear We are drawing at this stage, please note that except for the bear’s ears, nothing goes beyond the circle we sketched.

Stage 6. Now we will draw the small, short legs of the Chibi girl, shod in beautiful and cute shoes. Here's what happened:

Stage 7. Now we must carefully erase with an eraser all our auxiliary sketches that were highlighted in green, and then draw some small decorative elements to our Chibi’s clothes, namely: draw tights and a blouse collar.

Stage 8. At this stage we will finish drawing the girl’s hair. Let's draw her hair on the top of her head, gathered with an elastic band into two long ponytails.

Stage 9. The final stage is the coloring of the anime girl in the Chibi style. We colored it as shown in the picture below. You can color it to your taste, using your imagination, or in the same way as we painted it.

In this tutorial we will cover the basics Chibi drawing characters.

Chibi are super deformed characters to convey vivid emotions.

Chibi are drawn in different styles and genres, however, despite this, they retain the main distinctive features:

Big head. Chibi's head is much larger relative to the body, it is 1/3 or 1/2 of the height.

Simplicity. Chibi characters are drawn in a simplified manner.

Roundness. To convey youth and charm, Chibi characters are drawn with a plump body.

Differences between a regular character's head and a chibi one.

Let's take a closer look at the main differences between the head of a regular character and a chibi one.

1. Medium forehead
2. Eyes of medium size, well-drawn eyelashes, medium-sized highlights.
3. Regular nose length.
4. The mouth is medium in size, the line of the lower lip is drawn.
5. Pointed chin.
6. The neck is medium size.

Chibi

1. A huge forehead like that of small children.
2. Eyes big size, dilated pupils, simplified drawn eyelashes, large highlights.
3. Only the tip of the nose is visible.
4. The mouth is large, the lower lip is not marked.
5. Rounded chin, plump cheeks.
6. The neck is very thin or non-existent.

Draw a circle, and then a little lower a rounded chin. Chibi's eyes are very large, so it is important to draw them correctly, for this we draw auxiliary lines.

We outline the upper and lower eyelids and draw the pupil. The upper eyelashes should be large, and the lower eyelashes, on the contrary, thin.

Using an auxiliary circle we outline the border of future hair.

When outlining your hair, remember that there should be a lot of it.

We complicate the eyes and add hair.

We draw a blank for the future Chibi figure.

We outline the figure and erase the blank.

We draw the face in detail: add a nose, mouth and complicate the eyes.

We remove the auxiliary lines and draw the hands in detail.

Let's decorate. And our miracle is ready.

As we said earlier, Chibi is drawn in order to more clearly convey the character’s emotions. So let's look at the basic emotions.

Calm state without showing any strong emotions.

Joy. The mouth is wide open. Eyes and eyebrows in the form of straight lines.

Happiness. The upper eyelids are drawn with lines in the form of an arc.

Goofiness. The eyes are in the form of curved circles and the pupils are indicated by dots. The mouth is open.

Embarrassment. Eyes in the form of dots. Pronounced cheeks.

Sadness. Cry. The eyes are simplified to large pupils with glare from tears. Streams of tears flow from the eyes. Eyebrows are simplified to straight lines.

Stunned. Upper eyelid are drawn as straight lines. The pupils of the eyes are in the form of small dots. The mouth is wide open. A droplet is drawn on the side. Under the eyes you can add shadow in the form of vertical stripes.

Severe stupor. Eyes in the form of crossed lines. Shadow across the face with strokes. The mouth is slightly open.

Step 1

In this tutorial I will show you how to draw chibi step by step. As the lesson progresses, we will draw the base for a chibi girl and three outfits: for a party, for prom and for sports.

What is chibi? This is one of the graphic styles of manga in which the characters are given overly childish features (small body, big head and eyes) to make them look funny and cute. It is precisely because of such exaggerations that chibi is very easy to draw - you do not need serious knowledge of human anatomy! And once you learn how to draw the basic chibi, you can create an endless number of costumes, hairstyles and facial variations. So drawing chibi is a great activity for beginners!

What do we need

To draw on paper:

• Sheets of paper
• Pencil
• Something darker and richer regular pencil(marker, liner, etc.)

To draw on a graphics tablet:

• Graphics tablet
• One sketch layer (low opacity)
• One layer for a “finish” outline (with maximum opacity)

Drawing the Chibi Base

Using light movements, we make a basic sketch so that we can outline it with dark lines later.

Step 1

Draw a circle. Don't try too hard to do it perfectly smooth circle. We draw with strokes, not one continuous line.

Step 2

From the lower center of the circle we draw vertical line height equal to the diameter of the circle. It will help us determine the length of the character's body. Please note that these are classic chibi proportions, but you can change them to get a different result.

Step 3

We divide the line into three segments.

Step 4

Sketch out the base of the body using two curved vertical lines.

Step 5

We carry out horizontal line at the bottom of the head to indicate the location of the neck.

Step 6

Just below the neck we draw a small circle - this will be the torso.

Step 7

Below we draw half a circle - these are the hips.

Step 8

From the lower center of the semicircle, draw two lines down.

Step 9

Using two curved lines we draw hands.

Step 10

We finish the arms by drawing an arc at the level of the torso.

Step 11

Using a horizontal line we divide the head into two parts.

Step 12

Chibi has a big head, but small face. Using an oval, we outline the area of ​​the face in the lower left quarter of the head.

Step 13

Adding brushes...

…then thumbs.

Step 14

Using two circles on the body, draw the chest. You shouldn’t make them too big; the peculiarity of chibi is its miniature size.

Step 15

Let's move on to big eyes! For chibi they are not very detailed, however, they should be bright and express emotions. At the top of the face we draw two curves.

Step 16

Above we draw two more lines in the shape of an arch.

Step 17

To better imagine the facial expression, draw a small mouth.

Step 18

And a pair of simple eyebrows.

Step 19

Now the ears.

Step 20

We've almost finished the face, all that's left is to finish drawing the eyes. We add two ovals inside - this is the iris.

Step 21

Then we draw two small ovals inside – the pupils.

Step 22

Using wavy lines we add eyelashes.

Step 23

We finish drawing the upper part of the eyelashes. They should be wide and bright.

Step 24

We draw chiaroscuro on the eyes.

Step 25

You can finish the drawing at this stage; to do this, use a dark marker/liner on a separate layer to draw “clean” lines. If you want to draw a suit, then skip this step and move on to the next section.
