Chibi King.

 I was drawing this when while listening to Q 102.1. I was trying to think of something to draw and listening to Pop, Rock, and other current hits usually helps. One word that has been popular lately kept popping into my head, "Boss". Who is a boss? The president, the governor, a king. A king! So I started sketching and going over things and this was the outcome. I really like this one because of his smile and eyes. I like the eyes because I never tried them in this particular style. And the teeth because I find it hard to draw a smiling "all-teeth" showing smile but I did it!

Chibi Winged Boy Blushing

Hey, Friends!

I drew this Chibi winged-boy when I was trying to draw a simple boy in a school uniform but it turned out like this. How about some tips? 

     Tip #01:  Start with simple shapes such as ovals, squares, and triangles.

     Tip#02:  Sketch in the details and go over them later on with a darker color.

     Tip#03: Use shading. Shading can be your best friend when it comes to drawing. I use a *stump. 

* A stump is a rolled-up tube of cardboard or paper you could probably get at a craft store. I got mine from my art teacher. Rub it against what you want to blend or shade.

Drawing Tips for "How to Make Chibi Pets"

When I was drawing this Chibi Dog, it was a reminder of a puppy we tried to adopt at the SPCA, a Cockier Spaniel named Daisy. My mom got really attached to the dog. The kennel wouldn't allow us to get it because it was snippy with children and we were heartbroken. Instead, we adopted a white and gold Llapsa-Poo, Sammy. He is still part of our family today, many years later.

Start with the basic shapes.

Usually, I'm just good at drawing people so I was a surprised how well the Chibi Dog turned out. 
Step. 1: Start with the basics. Draw a fair-sized circle for the head and a round peanut shape for the body.

Step.2: Draw in the details like eyebrows, eyes, curls, nose, mouth, decorations, maybe some shading. Anything you want! Add in a fluffy tail and shading for the body.

I've been drawing anime boys and girls based on characters that I see in books like the Loveless series for a couple of years now. I'd also like to thank Christopher Hart. I received one of his books on Japanese comics last summer as a gift. He is like a mentor yet we never met.
