Description Since everyone liked so much the last stupid tutorial I did, I made a more 'serious' one. With minimum hair involvement.

And while the Squiggly Bean does help in chibi drawings in breaking the monotony of a still character, the real (and only) solution is imagination.

And when you think that you have gotten everything out of something... Well, take a break, get a cup of tea and think again.

Squiggly Beans usually lead to Headless Undead Chibis. It's quite common.

Karijn In reply to Sprucie [2012-03-26 11:21:26 +0000 UTC]

...Disney Flour Sack?
Is it magic? *_*

Sprucie In reply to Karijn [2012-03-29 23:45:04 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately it is not magic - though that would be pretty cool
It's a drawing and animation exercise to stress the importance of posing without details (like face, hair, clothes etc.) [link]

Karijn In reply to Sprucie [2012-03-30 16:52:10 +0000 UTC]

Wow... I never saw it before, but now that you point it out it's basically the same thing I did.
Maybe it's like evolution, everyone points to the most convenient solution.

It's all about doing it once, then stop and then look at the same base again. I think there's a logic exercise that works this way, you give some lines to a classroom and ask them to do a drawing over them. And you get, like, 10-15 different answers.
