First, I want to thank Mark Crilley and Netgalley with providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Chibi! The Official Mark Crilley How-to-Draw Guide by Mark Crilley was amazing! I had just learned about Chibi’s the other day and ordered some online Adult Coloring books Never did I think there would be books on how to draw the cute characters! I was pleasantly surprised there was! I could not wait to read this book! I am so glad that I did! Now I will know how to draw them too!
Mark does an awesome job of showing you step by step on how to draw each body part of the Chibi. He does not limit to showing you just boy and girl Chibi’s. He also shows you how to draw animals, robots, etc. Plus, there are beautiful illustrations in the book as well.
I enjoyed the educational part of the book where Mark explained the origin of the Chibi.
After reading this book I am excited to try my hand at drawing some Chibi’s of my own.

Noteworthy experiences while reading this book: I had issues with the eARC because it would cut parts off. Other than it was fine.

Notes and Opinions: This was a lovely book it showed you how to make many things in a relaxed and understandable way. I do wish that this copy we received for review was better formatted as it cut things off and made parts hard to read. Other than that this book was fantastic and I could see those of all ages benefiting from the techniques that are in it. Even me being 13 and an avid drawer I found a lot of tips that I could use in my work. I will be sharing things that I drew shortly on my Instagram feed under @endyochita so you can see them there.
Go Into This One Knowing: Easy to follow, great information.
