How To Draw Manga #18
How To Draw Manga, Volume 18: Super-Deformed Characters, Volume 1: Humans
Big things really do come in small packages! It is no exaggeration to say that today one cannot discuss Japanese manga techniques without touching on figure stylization methods. This book thoroughly explores this topic, starting with the thought process and techniques used to draw the characters known in Japanese as "chibi." Most English-speaking fans call them "superdeformed," or "SD" for short-those oh-so-cute, smaller-than-life characters who are always stealing scenes in such anime favorites as Chobits, Dragonball, and SD Gundam.

I think this book is good for learning the basic of how to draw SD characters. It also teaches me how to turn a normal size character into an SD form as well as how to give character to everyday objects like pot and pan!
