Here's a sketch of my lil sis, she's 5 and is in her "usual" mood in the pic. I know I drew the upper arms too short, that's no problem, I could fix it, but I'm too lazy. Now, my biggest problem is around the neck. I'm not that good at attaching heads, any suggestions? It's a little like chibi, but not exactly.

YAY! I get to be the first to reply :P
Ok... neck problem. Often, the best way I have found to fix that on Chibi's is to...
...
HAVE NO NECK! bwahahahaha
But seriously, as this is a kid and rather chibi-like, I'd say have a little bit of a neck, but not much. Maybe shrink her head down abit too, cause she isn't an official "chibi" in the sense of super-deformed.

Anyway, hope that helps ;)

That is Really cute ^-^ I like how you did the eyes. Usually with chibis the neck is really short and thin [at least the ones I've seen] also, did you draw the head or the body first?

Those necks look alot better! :grin: Did you draw them just now? They look nifty :grin:
Ok... I'm going to hazard a guess as to why she is surrounded by the tropical stuff.
Is she in Eden? Heaven?

The first pic had really good hands and feet ^-^ I've always had trouble with feet and hands two for that matter. I look forward to seeing more :)

I'm joking about the year, but a pic with hands takes longer than one without for me

When I draw, I start with a circle, then decide what angle the face will be at and draw a line from the forehead to chin. I shape the head around that, then put in the nose, mouth and eyes. Next comes the ear, hair, neck and rest of body (which is first shown through a line to show what the body is doing [eg standing still, twisting, etc] and two other lines for what the legs are doing [eg kicking, posing, etc] )

I've always been one of those "natural" artists, where I don't need an outline or anything, I can start straight from the detail and still make it come out right (depends on how much time I spend on it). I can eve start with the details and then draw the main lines at the end if I wanted to, sort of inverted. In fact, I'm bad at drawing with an outline, weird as it may seem. But necks, that's still probably my biggest problem.

I used to draw without outlines, and learned by drawing anime pictures I had on my comp. However, I borrowed out How to Draw Manga (vol. 1) from the library several months ago, and they used the outline method, so I tried it out... and strewth, all I can say is that my drawings are SO MUCH BETTER! (but then... they were rather bad to begin with ;) ). I guess its because I'm a mathematically minded person, it helps me to see what proportion everything has to be divided into.

I'm kinda mathematical too, but I can usually see proportions and stuff without the outline. Like I said before, I can't draw good with an outline. ;)

One thing though, in most of my drawings, ppl have oversized heads. I don't really mind it, I could draw a normal sized head, but they look so darn cute with a little bigger than normal head. BTW, a lot of anime shows have the kids with oversized heads. ;)
