Christmas gift for my tween daughter who’s obsessed with writing/drawing her own graphic novels. She loved it and it’s really taken her illustrations to a whole new level, especially in how she is now able to communicate the emotions of her characters in a more diverse and effective way.

This is a neat book to have for reference! It’s definitely a guide rather than a “how to draw” book, as it shows and illustrates things to draw but not how to draw them step by step. Just general guidelines and tips to follow. Overall a nice book with helpful tips!

This book really breaks down drawing chibi characters. A very solid book on the subject for beginners and a good study on nuances for chibi that experience artists may miss.
