Mini Chibi Art Class

In this highly portable mini version of Chibi Art Class, renowned anime artist Yoai teaches you the art of chibi, step by adorable step. Chibi is Japanese slang for "short," and popular Instagram anime artist Yoai (@yoaihime) shows you how to draw these adorable doll-like characters in Mini Chibi Art Class.

Chibis are mini versions of Japanese anime and manga characters and are defined by their large heads and tiny bodies, both of which contribute to their kawaii, or cuteness, factor.

Here, you'll learn how to create chibis' signature bodies, facial features, and props, including dreamy eyes, fun clothes and shoes, vibrant hair, colourful accessories, and lively backgrounds. You'll also learn how to colour and shade your vertically challenged characters for optimal cuteness.

This book also features 19 chibi tutorials with simple step-by-step illustrations and instructions, inspiration galleries, blank body bases for you to start your own chibi drawings, and uncoloured chibis for practising colouring and shading.

Mini Chibi Art Class is part of a series of adorable mini versions of Race Point art reference books that include Mini Kawaii Doodle Class and Mini Kawaii Doodle Cuties. Thanks to this take-anywhere crash course, soon you will be enhancing your notebooks, stationery, artwork, and more with your own unique chibi world.
