Hello! Today I am gonna show you how I draw my chibis! First we start with our thumbnail. Make sure the head is big, the body is round and of course: Make em short!

next we detail that thumbnail into our final sketch! for this drawing I will be using my OC named Tito.

Next is line art! Now when drawing chibis its best to avoid sharp lines (I suppose it depends on the chibi) So when I draw them I use the curve, continuos curve and circle tool. You could use a pen of you choice if you would like though.

After line are color! Eeee my favorite part :D

next for shading I add 2 multiply layers, one for the easy shadows and one for the main shadow (to really show where the light source is)

Now we do the lighting. I make an "Add glow" layer and add the light coming from the top right.

Now I make a new layer and clip it to the lineart. I make it slightly darker than the lighting to add a pretty lighting affect. Oh! And underneath the lighting layer, I color the lineart dark green, and I add shining to the eyes. I dont really have a method to lighting the eyes, I just go crazy! The tools I use though are airbrush, opaque water color and G-pen.

And thats pretty much it! You can add some other stuff if you would like! You can add some overlay layers to experiment with the colors

Well that seems to be it! Thanks for reading my tutorial! I hope this helps and dont forget to have fun!
