Chibi!
I’ve recently become fascinated with the simplicity of Chibi characters (AKA super-deformed). The characters take the form of small people or are child like in appearance and are often portrayed as cute and humorous and reveal enormous emotion. The height of a Chibi is typically a 1:3 or 1:2 head to body ratio where as manga characters can be 1:8 head to body ratio.
Other important characteristics are the eyes which should be large and most Chibi’s don’t have noses. It’s important to keep it simple and use as few lines as possible to portray the character, Chibi’s are not meant to be as detailed as Manga.
