This class will show you how to draw characters in the chibi style. You will learn the essentials of the chibi style, as well as the step-by-step process to draw your own chibis!

Who is this class for?

This class is for any artist looking to make cute, professional illustrations. Learning to draw chibis will give you a polished shorthand style that takes less time to draw than many other illustrative techniques, making it perfect for concepts and commissions, and the lessons can be applied to any other style of digital cartooning!

Experience with drawing is helpful but not mandatory before taking this class. The class is intended for digital artwork- there will be a separate class for traditional mediums.

What materials do I need to take this class?

To take this class, you will need a device on which you can make digital art. The best devices would be a tablet with a pressure-sensitive stylus pen (such as an iPad with an Apple Pen or a Mircrosoft Surface with a Surface Pen) or a desktop computer with a drawing tablet (such as a Wacom or Huion drawing tablet). You can also draw on a smartphone with a stylus, or on a tablet or smartphone with touch, but drawing without pressure sensitivity is much more difficult. You will also need a program or application in which to draw (such as Photoshop, Procreate, or Painttool SAI).

What will the project be like?

The best way to build art skills is practice, so the project for this class will include sketchbook exercises for each lesson. These exercises are designed to help you understand and incorporate the concepts in each lesson into your own art. Upload your works in progress with each class, and build up to a completed chibi!
