Chibi! The Official Mark Crilley How-to-Draw Guide

This is another great drawing book created by, Mark Crilley. It looks as if this book is more for those who are familiar with drawing or at least familiar with Mr. Crilley's Youtube videos. It is more advanced. His book, Mastering Manga has details on how to section out and space every detail from eyes, to head, to body, etc. This does not. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.If you are looking for a more advanced book on drawing Manga/Chibi this book is for you. If you are a beginner and need things spelled out more, you can still buy this book as inspiration and buy his book, Mastering Manga for step-by-step detailed how-to's.

Great. It's the kind of book you want to just sit down and do each lesson straight through, and then use for reference later on. Mark does a good job of changing it up and taking you through the process of building, not just drawing, the illustration. Like his other books, it's kind of a 'wax-on, wax-off' effect. Just do it for a while, and then you'll realize you're better at it overall.If you haven't checked out the author's (very popular) youtube channel, you definitely should. Very inspiring.

If course maybe my rating is biased because I love his youtube channel after finding it recently. Still there is something about how many examples he gives on chibis, not just one that has step by step then the rest are just one picture. There are quite a few chibis to draw step by step, there is a variety of chibis also. The thing that really clinched my into buying it though was examples on how to put your chibis (or could be any art) on merch. Not that I want to even sell it but I can use them for cards, or decorations.

I love this book. It gives great line by line instructions. If you are a true beginner, this book is for you. I am not an illustrator or artist by any means. Day by day, following the directions, I am getting better. I did a 21 day challenge and the improvement from my first picture to my last was remarkable.

Bought the online version and I love it because I can have it open on another screen while I’m drawing and be able to reference it if I’m confused on how to draw anything.

I was so happy and surprised about the art, the coloring, and how easy of another method of learning how to draw not just these characters, but my own as well. Im so excited to get started on this amazing new journey and i can't wait for the next one to begin.

The book came yesterday and I couldn't wait to look through it. I really appreciate the attitude of "have fun drawing these, don't worry too much about anatomy" because the point of chibi characters is to have highly exaggerated anatomy to get a lighthearted point across.

Really useful, I did learned a lot from this book, I like how it shows tips, poses, and ways you can use the chibi drawings you make to make personalized items for yourself or others.

Really enjoyed it and probably the best book of his if you are just starting out as the characters are simpler and more fun. I think if you are on or finished his second manga book you may find it a little too basic.

Accidently bought the kindle version then the actual book (which is what I wanted).. The book is great. Lots of beautiful drawings. Clear concise instructions. Exactly what I wanted.

Bought for my daughters birthday. She will enjoy this so much.

A simple book to follow and copy draw the examples for a 7 yr old upwards, although I'm using these books to teach my even younger grandson aged 4.

It was a great gift .

Great book. The author is simply a genius. I cannot wait for his next book. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn how to draw chibies.

Daughter loves this book and is creating lovely picturesThank you Mark Crilley.

Amazing

Wow!

Pretty dope product has plenty off info for verious types of chibi study. After all it's created by mark I love your work man.

Wer wirklich lernen möchte Chibis zu zeichnen wird wohl enttäuscht, weil die Lektionen fordern eher dazu auf abzuzeichnen, statt selbst was zu machen. Die einzelnen Posen kann man für eigene Charaktere verwenden, aber nicht alle werden ohne Klamotten gezeigt. Jedoch finde ich die Tipps sehr gut, und es gibt viele gute Bilder um Inspiration zu holen.

Muy buen libro. Ilustraciones muy buenas y buen acabado del libro. Con muchas páginas. De tapa blanda. Lo recomiendo si te gusta el dibujo.

Buy it! If you want to learn Chibi Drawing!!

My niece loves this book and her bedroom walls are now adorned with her drawings.
