How to Draw Manga Chibis & Cute Critters: Discover techniques for creating adorable chibi characters and doe-eyed manga animals (Walter Foster Studio)

Book just arrived today and I was very pleased it came sooner than expected. I bought this for my 12 year old granddaughter, she loves to draw. I highly recommend this book if you have someone who is learning to draw. The book has helpful hints on shading, how to use colors, how to draw step by step faces, bodies even how to draw clothes, furniture,cute animals, etc. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Very large, detailed book. Definitely breaks things down with examples and art skeletons so that you can really understand where the approaches are coming from. Which is quite possibly the one thing I get frustrated with many art books lacking: A perspective of approach. It's great if you can teach us how to draw all the different details, but it's still going to fall apart if we're not given details on how to actually put it all together correctly. I previously owned Chibi and Furry Characters by Christopher Hart, and while that book is definitely worth learning from as well, I would definitely pick this one if I could only choose one. It's guides are a notch above in quality.

This is a pretty cute book for kids or adults who want some basic ideas about this drawing style. It’s not a step by step kind of book but makes a really good reference book when you want to look up how to make eyes or hair while looking at examples. Good pictures and vibrant pages make it fun to look at

Got this for my 11yr old who just started taking an interest in drawing. She is actually really good for an amateur. I mean like really good. She's only taken about 5 classes or less, and is so much better than most r with more classes. So because she loves anime and chibi and cartoon characters that mimic the same style, I got her this book. I mean it works well for her. But when u got that much talent u dont need to much guidance I guess. The book I find not necessarily for a beginner. More intermediate. Its not a step by step by step until the character is complete. It's more like a guide. Example in pictures.

Gift for our 11-year-old who loves manga/kawaii drawings. She loved it and has been using is constantly since receiving. After using this book for guidance, she's now drawing her own manga chibis freehand. The directions are clear and easy enough that our 7 yr old can follow them, too. Love that this book also includes helpful information for budding artists such as sketching and color tips.

I am an elementary school art teacher. The kid's and I love this drawing book. This summer I taught a Manga Chibi class. A visiting mom from Australia wrote down the title and ordered it for her kids. Very fun, comprehensive, and adorable drawing book. Well worth the cost.

My daughter LOVES this book. She started drawing characters right away and found it easy to use the techniques to create her own designs. Now, she's drawing Chibis of all her friends. I highly recommend for new artists and tweens who want to learn how to draw.

My 10 year old loved this book and it has helped her learn so much! Her cartooning skills have so greatly improved after working with this book and she's been applying the techniques to a variety of types of drawing. Great purchase.

Nice

My 11 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. She hasn't stopped practicing her chibi drawings since it arrived. Her 7 year old sister is also having a go. Highly recommended!

I bought this book for a kid and it has been great. It's got easy to understand illustrations that they can trace or just sight copy, which has taken their drawing skills to the next level.

My book came ripped, which is kind of a shame. I didn't have time to return it, but luckily the rips aren't too bad. It's a super cute book and the templates are perfect for my 11 yr old, who just wants to design outfits and hairstyles.

Great book to learn chibi art, kept me and my daughter entertained during lockdown
