How to Draw Chibi Characters

[@D3caf_]

'1 rule for making chibi characters is that they have to be cute as hell' XD

[@ThatOneCanadianBud]

@Artist Obsessive yea they dont

[@spades7463]

Incorrect

[@rgandlayla4823]

why is everyone saying not true if its not true then to they have to look ugly as hell??

[@KennesuBakkuro]

Can a chibi turn into a titan?

[@blenderfire7412]

By the way Jazza, the blush marks are called "Blushies" ;)

[@swirlysloth2074]

Don’t tell the artist

[@Jazza]

well, kind of, though very western and the proportions aren't so extreme, so people wouldn't look at it and immediately think 'chibi'

[@D-S-9]

Soooooo young!

[@Anzyll]

Me: "This is actually coming along nicely." Jazza: "It doesn't really take skill to make something good." Me: "Fuck."

[@pixi1823]

Anzyll that was me doing a different one juzt now

[@user-iv2df5ed4y]

Anzyll I laughed really hard at this

[@firetigergames2450]

Ur so Funny

[@raysyndrome7209]

Hey Jazza from the past , here is your fan from the future , i was just searching how to draw chibi and came across this video , I haven't seen this video before today but loved to see how it was back then and how much you have grown now , it's spoiler from future but you gonna do amazing and millions of people enjoy seeing you do what you love , you are a brilliant artist and we will be in the journey with you for long time ...

[@jackawacka1062]

When I draw chibi, I focus on the eyes, and how big the body parts are. Then I just mess around with the clothes and other things. It works too!!

[@pandempandom9222]

i think i found my style THANK YOU JAZZA!!!!

[@Wafflasy]

Pandem & Pandom same

[@MsShawnieb8]

IMG! I love this style of drawing! Very clear tutorial! Thanks!!

[@PhluppeHimself]

Yes! I was looking forward to some chibi stuff from you. I remember I proposed chibi characters for one of your future drawing competitions, but it's quite nice to see a tutorial about this. Thanks a lot! :)

[@landonjobe6927]

" It's a bit sketchy, don't mind that." Still better than all of my drawings

[@wangchen6125]

Ha! Same

[@mrmawster9786]

It has been 4 year did it improve yet?

[@InterntExplorer]

i was going AwWw during this whole video. I love how much fun you seem to be having when doing this. thank you i've learned so much from you

[@QuantumKiff]

Well, Anime and Manga isn't really Jazza's style when it comes to art, he has his own unique style. I think that his chibis look pretty good, especially for someone who doesn't draw anime/manga. Some people may like the style that he draws them in, and some may not, but, I see this as a foundation, take what you like, and replace what you don't, and draw it in your own style preference. There is no right or wrong way to draw a chibi in my opinion. (:

[@Gladiator4Reign]

Wow. I LOVED how easy this was haha I’ve seen Chibi style, but it’s not really my fancy. However, my friend loves this style, so I thought I would teach myself how to draw chibi to inspire him to get drawing! Another great video Jazza!

[@erinbrown2613]

Wow, some of you guys need to chill out. Jazz a said that he isn't a manga artist, he's just sharing the knowledge he does have. I myself am an avid manga lover so I get that sometime his stuff has a lot of western style, but that's OKAY!! This was a great tutorial! Who cares if it's not EXACTLY like the manga style!

[@chosenreaper751]

Dude did you just wake up one morning and said I want be an artist and boom you can do this amazing stuff , teach me your ways!

[@fransilhamallu]

wow jazza, your chibi style is cute as fudge. it's like an aussie version of chibi. I love to draw my characters with proportioned heads.

[@rickyortega7395]

i know im in 2020 but DANGGG he explained it so well thx man from 2020

[@ratdoq]

Jazza: "It doesn't take much skill" Me: (tries and fails horribly) "this is fucking shit!!!!!!" (Throws tablet)

[@Light-wz6tq]

atleast you have a fcking tablet i just have HB Pencil !

[@renmathewmendoza8335]

[@amandagermany5933]

Wow! I'm seeing this about 8 years later but the tips are still helpful.

[@AGMoyer]

This is awesome, it actually worked with me. This was actually easy and fun for me. All I needed was to see the basic body shape and ways to start. Nice Video!

[@mason3872]

Jazza managed to mess up chibi’s... *HOW JAZZA*

[@jonesseptitea7702]

Yea The head is to realistic And the head is a squished circle and the arms are kinda like a triangle but safe long and ends with a curve at the end and the hands aren't that big

[@respiir]

Thank you soooo much! I've never really been able to draw a good chibi but now I think it's like 10 times better thanks jazza!

[@reevia]

Hi Jazza, Thank you for making such helpful videos. I request you to please make a tutorial on chibi animals, a turnaround character video would be awesome 😁

[@harringtongeorge4441]

Love your vids and the chibi girl

[@Nimbussunshine]

The last one is my favorite. Love the eyes.

[@SuperRedi007]

Thank you, you are up to date with the times picture popular..Please....Create a 360 degree position for the chibi's head expressive...

[@chriscrosby6111]

Gawsh Dude. Its 2015 and I'm still amazed after seeing this 6 times xD

[@Cantrona]

Jazza, I usually quite like your videos and they tend to be very informative. However, japanese chibi and manga and anime being my specialty, I gotta say that I didn't learn as much in this tutorial. I do think that this a very useful for people just starting out, and the proportions too, but the way that you drew most of the eyes kind of didn't sit right with me. The pupil was fine but the upper lash line in particular, I tend to think that it should hook into itself on the outer edge.

[@acbphoenix3037]

Thanks for this tutorial, it really helped! I was surprised to see how old it was, but it's great!

[@shadowpup5075]

This is 6 years ago. Still amazing like everything else

[@AintNoDuck]

Waited so long for this kinda stuff

[@MingoMash]

This video was f**king hilarious! Western chibi ^-^ But seriously.. you're my favorite youtube artist, but you don't seem able to break out from your western style.

[@surasan100]

Ello Jazza just wanted to say i just downloaded Mischief and for the oddest reason if feels like i can draw anything in there. Im just doodlin but my sketching feels more better somehow. Now im off to learn to chibi and just doodle around and see what i get. x3

[@garyainslie8200]

excellent tutorial, nice to get some decent tips rather than music tracks all the time like in so many other peoples videos. thanks

[@pluto6047]

Thank you Jazza, you actually helped me a lot with drawing cute faces!🙂

[@Mr3DRenders]

hello Jazza, i was a real noob before i seeing your channel, now i can realy draw characters :D thanks to you ! and every character i draw is like cartoony -_- it is obvious i know since your tutorial shows that, but we would love you more if you do for us a tutorial on creating a realistic or near realistic stuff :D you are born for that :3

[@AbsolutelyZilch]

That seems more like one of the things that would define one artist's style of "chibi" from another artist's. It's not as if there is one set style to draw Chibi in, this is just his style he's teaching.

[@DDesigns13]

Good tutorial, was really helpful, i'm learning how to draw manga, or at least trying to improve, And strangely enough, chibi's are really difficult for me. So thank you!

[@C0ZYL4ZY]

"NEVER forget the blushies!!!" - Mark Crilley

[@ShiroiAkumaSama]

If you draw Chibi I won't draw the nose, Chibi is much more exaggerated and simplyfied. Also the distance between two eyes are still about one eye if it's a 3/4 view the eye which is closer to the camera is the ruler for the distance. Except you do the button eyes like in 7:11 that's fine. Also most Chibi doesn't have a lower eyelid this lets the character "breath" also they look without a lower eyelid much more friendly. The smoking one was very good. But still awesome work for your first time.

[@sowianskizonierz2693]

Never expected this from you Jazza! lol

[@sneakycaptain2218]

You are my inspiration jazza,

[@ei530]

Hi Jazza! I'm Eriko. I like your style and those videos! Which animation is your model for drawing? You can draw different type of face.:) ;D XD Very nice!

[@Dan-sd3wx]

let me get this rightold Jazza sat in a dark room alone drawing chibi characters.

[@animesalami21]

The intro was good 👍✨

[@TheChrisManChan]

Hey Jazza, Just found your channel and I do have to say it is absolutely amazing and I have definitely subscribed to see more! I am really trying to be more of a free hand artist (for example relying less on the circle tool in photoshop and learning how to do them by hand) which leads me to my question, how are you drawing free hand such perfect circles? Do you recommend any particular types of exercises that I could do daily to hone my line/circle skills, because drawing a Chibi face free hand for me usually ends in disaster haha. Any help would be appreciated, I just bought a new Cintiq13HD and really want to get into anime/chibi art styles. The other issue I am having is none of my lines are straight, even when I do one quick stroke as recommended. Anyways, thank you so much for all your videos and the work you put into them and wish you nothing but success!

[@Teets187]

Don't sweat it Jazza! There will always be HATERS! lol, Keep up the good work dude!

[@mzartdesigns]

Can you please do a video on drawing children characters as far as realistic proportions in more detail and also a video on drawing cartoons including sketching, shading, etc? :)

Nice vids! You really helped me with lots of things like anatomy of limbs, Thanks :* Has your glove something to do with drawing? I don't mean to be rude; I think it looks pretty awesome and elegant, reminds me a little bit of the ones I wear for bow and arrow practising. Do you think, it can be used as 'protection' from the graphit I always get the side of my hand covered in while drawing with a pencil?

[@_nstar]

Thats a smudge guard, it's meant for digital tablets

[@pedalrageMC]

I am like ten times the better artist cause of you jazza srsly!

[@alexfrasca673]

Wow Jazza is getting WAY too much hate for this... He never said he was a master at anime or chibi characters, he's just trying to help people out.

[@mophele]

Jazza drawn in Chibi style looks cute. Though, I have to admit that I think Chibi style would look more cuter if it were used on female characters, as I am a male, but I assume women would find male Chibi characters cute.

[@ekgmd]

Awesome Chibi
