-any advice, or tips or anything? Here is some examples of what I have made so far.
Finished-


And not finished, really not finished. So much to do for this one, but I thought I needed more than just one example...

Stop trying to make the hair looks so jagged. IT SHOULD BE A PLASTIC HAT!

I say once more for emphasis
Manga chibi hair=plastic hats.
Read this comic. It is the greatest journal comic ever written and drawn. Trust me.

Thanks Crimson, I'm trying out the gloves on my Hiatus poster right now, and Alwin, I'm kinda confused on what you're trying to tell me...hats?

Well, when I draw chibi, I tend to draw a doll shape first, then add simplified features of the character I want to chibify. (Hm, I might have to add a picture later to illustrate...)

Anyway, circles are your friends when drawing chibi. That's what I'm pretty sure of. =^_^=
Nya!

Try to put the hair on the character like a hat. Like know that it's not just just a circular head, but a sphere head and that hair pops out of it.

Thanks, I'll try it out for a new character I'm making.

Another thing I'd like to add to that: Chibi hair tends to have little detail, only giving its basic shape. Try just getting the general idea down.

Remember: Chibis are supposed to be simple! Don't make them too complex and try to get their proportions really basic & small. Of course, I need to practice with this a bit; when I draw my chibis, I tend to make them look like children. Just don't make the bodies too big like I tend to do XD;;

Hope that helps~

Thanks, I took the advice you gave me Nar, and tried to make this Chibi more simple. It's for Mafia GAmes, Zombie Edition. IT's the sceptic, the guy that doesn't believe in zombies, so he won't run if attacked. About the only way for him to survive is if he is protected or the attacking zed is killed before getting to him. Okay, here is the actual pic, is it simple this time?
