### Hello friends how are you today, welcome to my blog. Today I am going to give you some tips and advice on basic things that I think could be useful for you, if you are going to create some drawings. In this tutorial I want to show you how to draw animals with human characteristics, I use a kitten example.
### I'm going to show you different ways of performing the character from chibi to semi chibi.

### The technique of drawing humanoid animals consists of using animal characteristics in humans in this tutorial and I use the manga style to highlight the elements of the character. That is, it is based on creating the characters in a way that complements each other.

### As I always tell you, I am a beginner in this but with time and practice we can all achieve it. Here is the step by step.

## The steps

In this part I will start with a sexy anime character without changing the size to be chibi or super deformed. The first step would be to create the face of the character and I wanted to make a sexy pose, so I started with this. First you must measure the height of the character, the normal is six heads, is the one I always use when I make these characters.

Then I do the rest of the body, remembering the measures I want to give, all in a mental way.

Already for this part of the drawing I only add the shadows, to give her that look of hair since she is a sexy and rough kitten. By using the six-head technique for height, the drawing looks like an adult.

In this part we are going to make another kitty chibi, for this I will use the height of four heads.

You can see how it looks, a more youthful appearance almost pre-adolescent.

I add the heads to the side of the drawing so that they can better observe and measure the character, who looks his chibi pre-adolescent look.

Below you can see the cat that inspired me to make the characters, and that I started to color the character is that she needed their color, they can make the character they want, with the animal that they like the most, remember that always. We are going to make another drawing with less height so that you can observe how the character looks younger and more super deformed.

See in this I am going to use, only two heads that is almost like a requirement for this type of drawing.

This kid has fun playing cards, that's an example that we drawing artists should follow, guys always have fun when they draw, to add movement to the drawing, add some lines around, do that when you want to give that kind of effect.

Then color the chiquitin and ready I hope these tips are helpful for when you want to make this type of drawings remember is important to have a shadow in your drawing the reason is because when the mind observes an image that has a shadow. The brain assumes that it is three-dimensional and gives the illusion that it is an object instead of a sheet of two-dimensional paper.
