Tutorial :how to draw chibi

okay this is chibi commission that I made for miss Ama , and as I promised to dear Sarah, I will show my chibi coloring technique.

in this tutorial I dont show what kinda brush I use, if you follow my others tutorial, you will realize I always use the same brush, just like I use for this one to.. XD, so I think it doesn't matter if I dont describe the brush, but I will try to explained this tut as much as I can.
for this tut you need a pen tablet and painter/photoshop program.
well then... here we go.. XD
just click the pic to get much bigger view

step 1


made a chibi sketch, this is my chibi proportion, look more tall that size deformed (SD),well yeah... because its chibi or child body.. XD
btw, the bigger the head, the cuter it gets.. but its just a matter of taste.. mine are not very big I think.. :D


step 2


after I ink the sketch, I block the whole colored area, with any kind of colour I want, than lock the layer options into transparancy, and randomly gave all the additional basic colors.


step 3


added the shading and lighting, looks very random yeah? well it is.. =_=a


step 4


add details, and of course the hair to, I always using big to small brush for adding the details, and if there is any lines or stroke that I didn't like, I just use blender to smooth it and it will look like gradation.. :D


step 5


see? its looking smooth rite? that is the power of blender on painter.. XD


step 6


making chibi dont look so hard is it? XD add the details and simple background all you want, and VIOLA! its all done..:)
