How to Draw a Chibi Phoenix
Remember when I told you that I was going to submit more fantasy lessons on some really cool chibi characters like the griffin, unicorn, and phoenix? Well here is my second installment of a chibi series that is based on some of the more popular fantasy creatures that we read about almost all the time. Learning "how to draw a chibi phoenix, step by step", is going to be a pretty basic lesson, and to be honest with you, it's going to be fairly easy too. Since I already wrote about the phoenix bird in other tutorials, there really isn't anything I can say about this chibi version that's any different except, it's incredibly adorable. To try and keep the drawing mentally simple in your head, just keep in mind that a chibi version of this fire bird, is the same thing as drawing a baby phoenix because chibi means small, and or child like. Now that I have told you what this tutorial is about, I think it's time you start this learning from this submission. I will shut up now so you can get to work, but I will be back with more drawing fun. Adiós amigos, and I hope you enjoy your artistic day!

STEP 1.
Draw a circle for the head shape and then add the facial guidelines. You will now draw a line for the neck and then attach it to another round shape which is for the body of this bird. Lastly, draw a cone like shape for the tail, and then draw the outlined triangular shapes for the wings.
STEP 2.
Now start sketching out the feathery head and then sketch out the cheeks, and feathered poof on the top of the phoenix's head.
STEP 3.
Now you can start having some real fun by sketching out the wings, and small baby like body. When that is all set you will need to add detailing to the tips of the feathers, and then draw the bone definition on the top of the wings.
STEP 4.
Finish this step by drawing the long feathery tail for this chibi phoenix, and then you will utilize the facial guidelines to draw the eyes, and beak. Color in the eyes as you see here and then move to the last drawing step.
STEP 5.
Draw the cute little feet, and then draw the flames that surround the phoenix's wings as you see here. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one so you have a nice clean sketch to color.
