Synopsis

The best of both worlds—learn how to draw anime characters and their cute, colorful, and expressive chibi counterparts from popular anime artist and instructor Yoai.

This follow-up to Chibi Art Class and Anime Art Class embraces the two styles for an all-in-one drawing book! A common artistic device within anime and manga is for the characters to morph into a chibi version of themselves for comic relief, especially when expressing emotion. In Anime + Chibi Art Class, popular anime artist Yoai teaches you how to draw characters big and little so you don’t have to choose. It doesn’t matter if you prefer drawing traditionally or digitally because both methods are welcome here!

With in-depth what-to-use and how-to guides at the front of the book, the tutorials are divided evenly between traditional and digital. Spanning from simple to advanced, each focuses on honing an area of drawing, such as basic body shapes, shading, and coloring. Say goodbye to art books that don’t explain what they’re doing and pick up this one today for detailed, easy-to-follow lessons.

Including all-new material, these 20 step-by-step tutorials will have you nailing that distinct anime style in an array of mediums, including:

• Pencil drawing
• Inking line art
• Shading with colored pencils
• Coloring with markers and watercolors
• Scanning and printing to combine media
• and doing it all digitally!

By the end, you will be a seasoned expert in the art of anime and chibi drawing and be ready to design your own expressive and cute characters.
