How to Draw Chibi Boys

Step 1.


First you're going to want to start out with a basic head shape and eye lines. then you'll be drawing a big rectangle with lines to show where you want your arms and legs to go! You start with a rectangle because you want your boy to be very boxy a   

Step 2.


Before we go into any technical body shape tips, go ahead and draw in the eyes. When drawing chibi boy eyes, try to keep them very plain. Try to resist any urge to give too much of a point on the side of the wide eye like I drew because it looks mo   

Step 3.


Now you can start drawing in the body shape. Remember to follow that rectangle shape, and do not curve into it. Keep both the hands and feet small for this chibi. Uniformity is key!

Step 8.


I don't think that vest is enough for him. Lets go ahead and add in a nice shirt for our chibi boy. When doing the sleeves of the shirt, make sure you keep them long. Short sleeves are girl shirt styles and long sleeves are mens shirt styles. Whi
