How to Draw a Chibi Neko Girl in Fall

Okay, I have fallen in love with LoveTheNekos Chibi's. I always wanted to do some kind of Anime, but I didn't know how to color in Adobe Photoshop or even draw the style. Thanks to LoveTheNekos and Dawn, I've learned soooo much. This is no way near as good as their works, but at least I attempted. I hope you will enjoy drawing this Chibi Girl Neko in the Fall. Let me know if I even hit the makr. Please tell me what you think by faving, commenting and clicking on "Love It." Thank you all!

Here is something familiar I normally do for my portrait tuts. Draw in those red guidelines, lightly now, to position her eyes.

Awwww, add in those cutie forearms. Leave the first one's lines open. And now sketch in her thighs. Keep close to how the picture looks.

STEP 10.

Now we can start on her features, eyebrows, bangs, eyes, nose, and mouth. These you can draw just a little bit darker to look different from your guidelines.

STEP 11.

I have fashioned this tut after LoveTheNekos Chibi Nekos tuts. So the next normal step is to draw out the body for accuracy. This means when you draw in the clothes, it will look believable. Take your time, no need to rush.

STEP 12.

Now you can swirl that hair around her and draw a cute pair of ears on her head.

STEP 13.

You can now draw in all the cutie fashion details like her jacket, belt, shorts, and purse. Don't forget her eyes either. Guess what? She's got a purse too with tassels. Looks like she's just been to the mall drinking a Slurpy!

I made this line drawing especially for you.

STEP 15.

You can even color her with crayons, color pencil, watercolor or even digitally. Whatever way you find that is the most fun for you would be great. This was so much fun to do. This is the first Anime I have ever done in Photoshop and nearly the first Chibi I have ever drawn. It would help me out so much if you would comment or say what you feel about this tut, that would be so wonderful & helpful too. Also check out LoveTheNekos beautiful tutorials: http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/all/1/134694/u.htm They are my inspiration. Thank you all for sticking with me.

So why Photoshop? You can do this traditionally aswell. I do. I'd like to go digital someday, but I'd like to learn the basics first. Of course you've got the basics down already. But try pencilling first, it's what you're good at. You can then see if you can photoshop the same drawing. Well that's just my two cents.

Thank you, serget. It is! Took some time to learn how to do the eyes, proportions, etc. But I LOVE these cute little characters. The photoshop stuff is what's hard.

You know I just might do some more to learn some more photoshop. But at this sec, there's no more on the way. I gotta finish up a commissioned piece that's already been paid for long time ago. At second thought, I don't like computers or adobe stuff that much either. But it seems artwork is going that direction so I need to learn.
@JasonG
me no likey computers ill well there is always a first time for everything :D so, the squillion doller question... Is there anymore on the way?

Thankies, JasonG, so glad you like it. First I used Arichival Ink pens 08 pt. I scanned the picture. Then I colored it in Adobe Photoshop, which is soooooooo complex! *faint* Took me a few days to learn how to use the paint brushes, blurs, smudges, opacity to get the right brush-lined looks. It was extremely challenging. It's like teaching an old dog new tricks. I was ready to quit, but I waited till the next day to keep going. Ideas kept coming after I slept and woke up in the morning. I have learned tons!
