~AzKailani wrote to me the other day, asking if I could give some tips on how to draw, particularly on how I do chibi-style. I've always believed that my style is not really anything special (as the characters look more like I've drawn them as kids than actual chibi), but I told her that I'd try to show her how I do it anyway.

Well... my camera work while I was drawing this pic was less than remarkable... I didn't notice that the digital camera's resolution had been set way, waaaaay low when I started taking pictures. Gah, so much for that idea (I had been too lazy to scan after each and every step). Oh, well. Maybe I could try to make the pictures clearer someday. For now, I hope everyone could still see what I was doing, at least.

For a nice "how to" on the more common "chibification" process, try this: [link]

You can also look into this if you're curious on how I draw with guidelines.

(Edit) Since a lot of people were asking, I used the following pencils for this drawing:
- A Staedtler karat aquarell colored pencil for the blue lines.
- A sharpened Staedtler HB pencil for the black lines.

But really, any light blue colored pencil, or typical lead pencil, will probably do.
