(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Great book very useful, great tips, but when I want to download it on the kindle app for PC I get this error. hopefully it can get fixed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid Chibi drawing book.

J.T. · August 18, 2022

This book really breaks down drawing chibi characters. A very solid book on the subject for beginners and a good study on nuances for chibi that experience artists may miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for chibi reference

S.h. · November 18, 2020

This is a neat book to have for reference! It's definitely a guide rather than a "how to draw" book, as it shows and illustrates things to draw but not how to draw them step by step. Just general guidelines and tips to follow. Overall a nice book with helpful tips!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great.

Christmas gift for my tween daughter who’s obsessed with writing/drawing her own graphic novels. She loved it and it’s really taken her illustrations to a whole new level, especially in how she is now able to communicate the emotions of her characters in a more diverse and effective way.
