I have a couple more cruddy tutorials. xD It would be really appreciated.
Chibi aren't the hardest thing to draw, yet my this tutorial is seeing 500x more acknowlegement than anything else in my gallery. Seriously guys, it's really disheartning to see that many of you fav this, yet don't take the time to look through my gallery. My gallery may not be great-- I wouldn't even really call myself an artist. But would it hurt for you to look through it? Dx

If it doesn't load, click download and it'll open up in a new window.

It might take a while to load.

This took weeks to finish, yet, why is it so unhelpful? It might have to do something with the fact that I'm not good at chibi myself. Maybe. Just maybe.

I'm sorry that it's so . . . Vague. There isn't much I could think of to add to it, sorry, :/ Chibi are so simplistic that there isn't much to explain about their make up. The only reason it's called Mega, LOL, is because . . . I guess I tried to briefly cover everything from sketching to CG. If there's anything you want more detail about, comment.

Ah D8 PS: Try not to draw to raid your gallery with chibi art. :/ As cute as they are, xD they're not really amazing.

Hope it helped, even a little bit.

Please ignore any spelling or grammar mistakes. I didn't take the time to edit it, due to the fact that it was lagging my computer.



PS: In case you're wondering why the "insolent" expression has "Haruki" crossed out, xD it's an inside joke about one of my OCs.

Thank you for this tut. I'm kinda of a chibi artist *just starting out* and anything that can help me with poses, expressions and tips are a big help.

Violet-Kitsune-Lila [2010-01-18 03:34:20 +0000 UTC]

Hey, those poses are really great.
For some reason, I like the chibis more before they're coloured. You've still got to work on colouring clothing folds.

Calvariae In reply to Violet-Kitsune-Lila [2010-01-18 12:09:58 +0000 UTC]

I actually liked the chibis before they're coloured, too. LOL I think you can tell cause I stopped colouring them afterwards.

Great tutorial! I love how you added some other poses in there, most just focus on one pose and that's it. Nice job!
