Everyone loves chibi, the newest, hottest manga style out of Asia. Chibis—characters that range from hypercute miniature people to bizarrely sexy furry characters—come in all varieties, all roles, including chibi teenagers, faeries, schoolgirls, nurses, mermaids, devils, angels, and everything in between. Now Christopher Hart, the world's best-selling author of cartoon and drawing titles, shows readers exactly how to draw chibis, infusing them with personality and creating authentic costumes for them. Cute chibi-style monsters (small yet powerful), appealing cat-girls (humanlike, but with feline traits), superdeformed manga/chibi characters (used to make funny wisecracks)—every type of chibi character is shown here in crystal clear, step-by-step drawings. Manga Mania Chibi and Furry Characters will get every manga fan in on the chibi fun.

  • Yuiko

    I have this book and I absolutely love it!!!!
    I'm always looking thur it and finding new ways to draw poses an characters of my own!!! I would totally recommend this book if u want to learn to draw Chibi!!!

  • Maia

    Since this isn't really a story book, I'm not sure what to say about it. Oh wait, yes I do. I liked the instructions that the author gave me, but I wish that somebody would write a book on how to draw other animal people, like lizards, or water creatures. Hurry up and do that, somebody! (I can't do it 'cause I'm not good enough yet.)

  • S. Fedor

    This book was great for me when I first started drawing chibis. It really brakes it down in an easy way to understand how that art style works and it helped me get a grip on the style as an overall. It's what got me making chibi cards for my friends and family. Even though I've move beyond this, I still use this book as a reference from time to time.

  • Jacqui Lynn

    Not a great artist but I like to draw chibi characters to relax. This book was great for beginners and more advanced artists. It walks you through many aspects of style and technique. I only wish that some of the advanced poses had an extra step shown for some of the chibis.

  • Nanda

    Very nice book for anyone who is interested in drawing chibis.

  • Sinar

    this book is more about: learning it. I'm an autodicactic learner/paintist and this book helps me to learn the anatomy of the chibis better, despite my previous tries that seemed to 'work'.

  • Ichigo

    kawaii

  • Robyn S.

    This didn't really help me with what I was trying to learn how to draw, but it is a very well done book. And it did give me a few good tips and reference points.

  • Isabelle

    I Liked it. Helped give me some Ideas on these types of characters. so CUTE!

  • Rowie

    I got this for my birthday at least six years ago. Thank god the Dutch version didn't have furries in the name ;). I enjoyed drawing from this even though the illustrations aren't that good.
