Create Chibi Character Reference Sheets
Chibi reference sheets need to capture the essence of a character in a super-deformed style. This guide covers creating comprehensive chibi sheets with multiple poses, expressions, and proportion guides.
Step-by-step
- 01
Define chibi proportions
Set your head-to-body ratio (2:1, 3:1, etc.) and stick to it.
- 02
Generate chibi views
Create front, side, and back views with exaggerated cute proportions.
- 03
Add chibi expressions
Chibi expressions should be extra expressive — include comedy and reaction faces.
- 04
Create pose variations
Add sitting, running, and signature poses that showcase character personality.
Pro tips
- Chibi heads should be 40-50% of total height for maximum cuteness
- Simplify hand and feet details — chibi style uses mittens and stumps
- Include both the chibi and standard versions side-by-side for comparison
