Learn how to draw adorable manga- and anime-style illustrations, including popular chibi onesies and adorable kawaii critters, with step-by-step instructions.

Open your sketch book and begin to doodle and create in your favorite anime styles with this step-by-step drawing instructional handbook for kawaii (cute) and chibi (small) people, animals, mystical creatures, food, and more.

Just starting with illustrating? Drawing Chibi is the perfect guide for beginners and budding artists alike. Start with simple illustrations like an usagi (bunny), same (shark), and aisukurimu (ice cream) before moving on to fun, multi-step illustrations like the yosei (fairy), ninja, and (uber-popular) animal onesies.

Each instructional series shows how to lay out the illustration, correctly size each element, then carefully draw each feature. Workbook-style pages adjoining each illustration provide a space for readers to try their hand at practicing each drawing multiple times.
