How to Draw Chibi Mulan

Step 1.


Begin by making a large circle for the head and then draw the body shape like so. End this step by adding a face guide.

Step 2.


Up next, draw in her nicely styled geisha hairdo. As you can see it's pulled up in a bun, but she still has that one piece of hair hanging on her forehead. This is Mulan's trademark. Draw in her flower that her father gives her, and then move to step   

Step 3.


Next, draw or thicken the lining for her face that you drew in step one, and then incorporate the shapes or bumps for her ears.

Step 4.


You will now get busy drawing out her large oblong shaped eyes like so, and when you do this make sure the lining is thick and dark. Make small eyebrows and then draw in the eyeballs or iris'.

Step 5.


Okay guys as you can see we are getting further and further with the creation of a chibi Mulan. Draw in her beaded necklace, and then draw the top and bottom parts of her kimono.

Step 6.


You will then draw the top lid line to separate the kimono from her undergarment, and then draw the sleeves that she has drooped down her arms. This is a traditional style kimono that geisha wear.

Step 7.


For the last drawing step, finish the details by sketching out the tail of her kimono, ad then draw in the rest of the shawl. Clean up the sketch to prepare her for color.

Step 8.


When you are all done, your drawing should come out looking similar to the one you see here. I know you are gonna have a ton of fun coloring in chibi Mulan.

Description: I have yet another chibi character for you that I just had to do. As you know there is many, many different Disney characters that people have fallen in love with over the years. One of my favorite figures happens to be Mulan. So, with an idea I had, I decided that it would be cool and cute to show you guys "how to draw chibi Mulan", step by step. I had so much fun recreating Mulan, and turning her into a chibi figure. I did have a hard time deciding whether to draw her wearing her face paint, or without. I eventually chose to make her look like she did in the beginning of the movie before she cut off her hair to take her father’s place in the war. The style, design and concept of chibi Mulan is going to be one hundred percent fun and exciting. That is all I have to say for this chibi version of Mulan. I hope you enjoy this submission, and I also hope you learn something new. Adios mi amigos!
