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

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 was a gift for my 13 Year old daughter who is a Manga fan, and who draws a ton. She really likes it and was very excited when it landed on her bed before school one morning. So excited she was a bit late that day!A note to parents who kids are into manga...we have seen some Manga drawing books that have adult themes in them, something we don't allow. This book is clean from all of that, so it is age appropriate for anyone who wishes to gaze upon the pages! :)

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.

My 10yr old daughter loves this book. She’s into drawing anime and chibi. She like to learn new techniques to enhance her drawings. I attached a drawing she did since getting this book.

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

Cute book. Cute tips. Cute anime chibi drawings. My book was a bit dirty with black stuff on it. I just wet a paper towel and squeeze water, then scrub wipe off the cover front side back. And boom it clean.

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.

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

A decent enough book, my only gripe is that it isn't exactly /great/ for someone just starting out. There isn't enough guidance on /how/ to draw, it's more of a gallery of examples of Chibi manga and cute animals. It provides templates for creation but doesn't really supply enough theory. For example I had to take measurements of proportions myself, with a ruler, rather than the book telling me.If you are looking to start drawing as a newcomer I would suggest getting something more instructional. This book comes off as something more for people who have already established artistic ability.

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!

Good book, Fun and easy to follow. daughter seems to love it.

Got this as a present for an artistic 11 year old. She and her 8 year old brother spent all Christmas drawing the pictures in it.
