About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

I started drawing character designs and storyboards for a small animation studio in while in High School. Cartooning and animation was a magical experience to me. I try to bring that experience, as well as art tips, to my readers. Their enthusiasm also motivates me.

Early in my career, my cartoon work got noticed by Watson-Guptill, a premier publisher of art books. They asked me to do a book for them on drawing cartoons. It sold 200,000 copies, which is a healthy number. So we kept going. I discovered that I enjoyed the art of creating books, which has its own special requirements. I also worked as an author for Random House, Quarto and Soho Publishing. In total, I have had 8 million books sold, and have been translated into 20 languages.

My book, "The Master Guide to Drawing Anime: How to Draw Original Characters from Simple Templates" has sold over half a million copies to date and is still very actively in print. An earlier book of mine, "Manga Mania: How to Draw Japanese Comics:" reached the number one art book in the country, according to Bookscan.

I've also been a cover story on the industry trade magazine, "Publisher's Weekly." And if you've read this far into my Bio, then I'm more impressed with you than you are with me!

Thank you so very much for letting me offer some inspiration to you in your art adventures.

Cute but...

I got this for free. I don't know if I would suggest paying for it or paying more then a dollar or so for it however..... It has some good tips but the only thing it shows how to draw are the two characters on the cover.

On a while however I love Christopher Hearts work and I'd suggest his other books.

Very, very basic

This free book was less than ten pages long. It gives a very general overview about how to draw characters. If you want to know the basic conceptual differences between drawing full manga characters and drawing chibi, then this is great! But if you are looking for a more detailed description, leave this in the free bin.

For the Absolute Beginner

It's free, so it's worth a look. If you already know the basics of drawing, this book isn't for you. If you are a novice, then it's great for learning proportions.

Best thing since his manga for the beginner should but other than that I love his and so does my friends

[Nightowl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun and Easy

My main complaint is how short paged this book is. The illustrations are easy to follow, once done you are free to personalize your chibi however you want.

[Marisela Sol Sanchez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

Good and clear to understand. I was able to get an understanding of chibis in general yet also some specifics.

[Amanda Shaver · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty Good.

I like it! I wish there was more than 2 different chibis though. And I wish there was a manga one, so I could be challenged more.
