How to Draw Chibi Hair

Step 1.


We're gonna start with the male models. Draw in the very basic guidelines and whatnot. Done? Sweet. Remember to draw lightly, in case you make a mistake (I have trouble with this).

Step 2.


Now sketch out the face shapes and eye guidelines. Chibis have humongous eyes and therefore very large foreheads. Remember that whenever you draw chibis. They need to have huge foreheads.

Step 3.


Now for the eyes (without pupils). I drew different kinds of eyes for different character types/emotions. From left to right: Cocky and proud, docile and laid-back, timid and shy, easygoing.

Step 4.


Now we add the mouth and nose. Because chibis have such large eyes and foreheads, their mouths are fairly small unless they are in the midst of an outrageous reaction. Their noses are also tiny- some artists don't even draw them.

Step 9.


Draw in the eyes now. I left out the eyebrows by accident, so you can fill them in.

Step 10.


Finally, we do the hair and expressions. Once again, this will be important in conveying characters' persona. Left to right: This chick, with spikey, short hair, is a tomboy with a love for adventure. The girl with long, wavy hair (who accidentally e   

Step 11.


Finally, ink your drawing and let it dry. Colour in your characters and don't make that poor girl resemble Kakuzu (Kakuzu: My name is copyrighted. Pay up. Me: THAT WAS A JOKE! GO BACK TO WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM OR SOMETHING!). Until we meet again! Adi
