How to Draw Chibi May, May

Step 1.


Simply draw a large circle for the head of May, and then draw in one connecting line for the body. Once you add the face guide, you should have a drawing that looks like a lollipop.

Step 2.


Using the head guide that you just drew, sketch out the shape of chibi May's face which is almost like a rounded square. Draw the spiky bangs, and then move to step three.

Step 3.


Chibi May has these great big eyes with really thick, bold, and dark eyelids. Once you draw those lids in, you can draw out the eyes and then her simple cute smile.

Step 4.


Cap off the head with her bandanna, and then finish drawing out her wild and crazy looking hair which is normally short. Make sure the ends are pointed and spaced apart.

Step 5.


Now it's time to draw out her body including the clothes. Start by making the shoulders, and then draw in the arms and spread open hands. Draw in the collar, and then draw the shape of her torso like so. Don't forget to draw in that pouched belt.

Step 6.


Simply draw in the legs and be sure to make them sort of thick. Sometimes chibi legs are drawn to look short, stubby, and chunky. Other times chibis can be drawn with slender limbs.

Step 7.


As you can see this step is so simple. Before we begin be sure to clean up the messy guides and mistakes that you drew in step one. After that is done you can draw the stripes on the hat, torso, wrists, and pants.

Step 8.


Here is the finished drawing when you are all done. The best part is yet to come because now you can start coloring in your sketch of chibi May.
