Learn how to draw adorable, step-by-step anime- and manga-inspired mythical creatures, including chibi mermaids, unicorns, fairies, and more with this easy-to-follow how-to-draw book!

Crack open your sketchbook, grab your pens and pencils, and get ready to turn your fantasy illustrations into kawaii (cute) and chibi (small) creatures. With step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow tips and tricks, this instructional handbook will help you bring a new level of anime style to your sketches.

Start with a few familiar fantasy creatures, like a unicorn, mermaid, and dragon, before learning how to transform ancient, lesser-known creatures like the basilisk, oni (Japanese demon), and kraken into adorable chibi versions. Whether you’re a beginner or a drawing pro, Drawing Fantasy Chibi makes this fun, anime-style drawing easy, with workbook-style pages that provide a space for readers to try their hand at practicing each drawing multiple times before they master it!
