About the Artists

You know them well—you’re reading your favorite manga or watching an anime, and suddenly a chibi appears. The word chibis (pronounced “chee-bees”) means “little” in Japanese. Chibis are super cute caricatures of people or animals that have been shrunken and squashed into funny, childlike creatures with big heads, stubby proportions, and silly expressions. In this book, you’ll learn to draw all sorts of chibis. You’ll also discover exactly what gives them their “chibiness,” including proportions, facial features, expressions, and poses, as well as how to “chibify” props, furniture, and other background elements. And because companion critters are a common theme in anime and manga, you’ll also learn to transform common animal friends into chibis. |
