【Tutorial】How to draw Chibis (Clip Studio Paint)

A #ChibiTutorial has been highly requested for the past months, so when Clip Studio Paint contacted me I didn't think it twice!
Chibis seem like the easiest thing to draw but it takes time to master them!
I hope this tutorial will be useful to you. Remember this is just how I draw them, but there are many more types of chibis out there and you should not limit yourself to just one artist's advice ~
(Also, excuse the tiny glitches here and there on the audio, my video editing program is too stubborn to render this properly for some reason uwu')

Chibis heads are the big brain that's why their head is so big

So you have your regular anime style, your regular chibi style, and your glossy chibi style. Have you ever done a glossy regular anime style that looks simpler?

[Squiggy]

In a way, chibis are a good introduction to learning body types and clothing because they focus more on shapes than details
