    Idk ,i cannot buy it as a real book because i live on KSA🌚💔 but of course this amazing!

    CantiSenpai ,

    Great for beginners

    It’s a simple book that shows you some of the fundamentals of drawing Chibi characters hair, body, types, etc. I do wish it went more in depth with some parts of drawing chibi bodies. But other than that the book gives you a brief yet somewhat detailed instructions on how to draw chibis. It’s just up to the reader to build off of what you take from the book.
