How to Draw Any Animal as a Cute / Chibi / Kawaii Character

Do you love cute animals? Are you interested in learning how to create Chibi and Kawaii style anime animals? This class will guide you through shrinking animals into small characters. You’ll be guided through the step-by-step process of designing three different animals with Chibi proportions. By the end of this course, you’ll feel confident applying these proportions to any animal! 

By the end of this course, you will know how to:

• Draw Chibi proportions
• Reference three different animals
• Apply anime features
• Simplify proportions
• Apply what you learned to future Chibi animal projects

Materials:

• My demo is drawn digitally using Medibang Paint Pro, but you may use any medium
• If you're working traditionally, I recommend pencil, fineliner and coloured pencils
• To learn how to use digital techniques, see our lesson: Intro to Digital Art in MediBang
