Description I know, it seems strange because chibis are so simple that people would have trouble drawing them... but we do. Good artists who are used to drawing more realistic stuff have trouble figuring out how to draw the ultimate in cuteness. A lot of people ask me about chibi drawing and I know I had a hard time figuring it out too, so I figure this should help. The other great thing about chibi art is that if you are just starting as an artist, chibis are simple and easy to start with. ^^

The main thing about chibi art is that the head is huge and the eyes fill most of the face.. the rest is actually kind of squished together at the bottom. The body is simplified as well. Take a look at this, and if you have any questions at all about it, ask me. ^__^ Hope you like it and I hope it is helpful.

nah, it was a chibi thing, I kept it as simple as possible, especially with feet... but naturally, everyone draws chibis differently. So feel free to draw feet how you like

Ah alright I just wondered because mostly when people make the hands detailed they do with the feet too.

Good for you. I know some people get it and others just don't. Laughing: This is for the people who don't.

LeahCK In reply to manic-goose [2009-07-29 21:48:07 +0000 UTC]

I know, I think it's the huge head and the small body that gets them.

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2009-07-29 21:51:00 +0000 UTC]

It is sort of that, and the eyes beign big enough... but people tend to draw it not short enough and too detailed... and all that. It is usually people who do realistic art that have trouble with the cutesy stuff.

LeahCK In reply to manic-goose [2009-07-29 21:54:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, And I'll do the thing you tagged me for. ^^ Man you have a lot of animals. I think I would have that many animals too if I didn't live with my grandma. So I only have a german shepard and a kitty cat. I think she's a maine coon but I'm not sure. Look forward to my journal!!

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2009-07-29 21:59:00 +0000 UTC]

Ok, I was pretty sure you would. ^__^ Spirit (my Miakai model) is part Main Coon, they are so beautiful. ^__^ ANd German Shepherds are pretty. Yep, lots of animals.

LeahCK In reply to manic-goose [2009-07-29 22:40:37 +0000 UTC]

Yes, very pretty. My German shepard is so handsome...but completely stupid. And my cat is just neurotic, but I love them anyways.

I love how different animals have such unique personalities. How is your dog stupid?

LeahCK In reply to manic-goose [2009-07-30 00:21:37 +0000 UTC]

Well..he has multiple times gone after porcupines even though he has been pierced by their quills before. When it's hot out he always lays in the sun even though we put an umbrella out there for shade. And he fries himself. He also eats to fast...even though he has already flipped his stomach...that was a bad experience.

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2009-07-30 00:28:39 +0000 UTC]

My, he does sound foolish... even for a dog... but funny

LeahCK In reply to manic-goose [2009-07-30 00:33:14 +0000 UTC]

I love him anyway. I wanted to take him to the prom...but they don't allow dogs. He would have been the most handsomest guy there though!

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2009-07-30 00:42:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that would have been cute, but I can imagine they wouldn't allow dogs.
