29 Cute and Easy Chibi Girl Drawing Ideas

Lately I’ve been into drawing chibis on my pages. So of course, I had to create an article about it ! In this article, we’ll discover around 30 cute and easy chibi girl drawing ideas that you can get inspiration from and copy. Some of them are very easy, while others are a bit more complicated.

What is a Chibi ?

Chibi is a Japanese term often used to describe a specific art style characterized by small, exaggerated, and adorable features. It typically depicts characters with oversized heads, tiny bodies, and simplified details, giving them a cute, cartoonish appearance.

This style is commonly seen in anime, manga, and fan art, where it’s used to make characters look playful, funny, or endearing. Chibi drawings often emphasize emotions with expressive facial features, making them perfect for portraying humor or lighthearted moments.

The word “chibi” itself loosely translates to “small” or “tiny” in Japanese, and its charm lies in its ability to take even serious characters and make them irresistibly cute.

There are various ways of drawing chibis, and each of them come with their own proportions.

In this collection, we will discover different chibis with different propotions ! I won’t be making long descriptions over my drawings because most of them are very self explanatory and look alike 🙂

Simple Chibi & Tutorial

We’re starting with a very simple chibi girl: just standing with an oversized t-shirt (or a dress, depending on how you see it). You can follow the step by step tutorial right below to draw this little cutie:

Try following it to draw a very easy chibi! Hopefully you manage to get a result that you like.:)

Chibi Girl Base

If you want a base to practice with, you can use this one. I also used it for the chibi girl I drew on the right. Isn’t she cute? ♥

Simple Girl

Next up: a simple chibi girl standing with her arms spread. She’s wearing a cute dress, which you can change easily if it’s too hard, or if you want more details.

Arms Crossed

Another simple chibi girl, but this time we’ll cross her arms in front of her chest. It might look complicated, but actually, crossing the arms is a nice way to avoid complicated things like arms and hands. A trick you can always use!

Smiling Half Body

This one is a cute chibi doodle you can draw easily in your journal whenever you want to add a reaction to something ! I use this kind of drawing in my journal.

Mini Chibi Doll

Next up, probably the simplest chibi you can draw : a 2 head chibi. This one can also be a super cute addition to a journal or a card that you write for a friend. ♥

Little Lady

This one was inspired by Misa from Death Note, a manga/anime I liked when I was younger. If you don’t know it, I seriously recommend it to anyone! It’s super cool – but a little dark. It looks less like a chibi because the proportions are closer to human than the others, but it’s still considered a chibi, just with different proportions (refer to the top of this article to know more!)

Witch

This witch chibi is one of the bigger chibis, with a ratio of 3 heads! You can make it a smaller chibi by giving her a smaller body easily. Perfect for a little Halloween doodle.

Sakura Chibi

Sakura is my all time favorite character. She brings me so many fond memories of when I was watching Card Captor Sakura as a child. If you want more drawings like this, check this article!

She’s harder to draw because of the amount of details, but I’m sure you can do it!

Mushroom Princess

Here is another cute chibi. Even though the proportions are not very chibi like, it’s also hard to tell where is the body and where is the mushroom, so I count it as a chibi! I like drawing hybrids of all sorts of things, lol.

Mini Sakura

Again, if you like Sakura, there is a more simple version of a Sakura Chibi you can try. It looks a little weird without eyes though, so you might wanna add a pair of eyes to it. 😮

Little Girl

Here is one drawing that you can also find in the anime girl drawing ideas list. I think children proportions in animes/mangas are very close to chibis, and this one could be considered both. If you want to see more anime girls, I definitely recommend checking out my other article about it. 🙂

Sitting Chibis

Now let’s explore sitting chibis and different sitting positions. Some will be easier than others, just take your time and try your best!

Let’s start up with this one! If you have difficulties, you can trace my drawing at first. I always avoid drawing the hands completely for chibis, as it adds a layer of complexity that is not really useful in chibis, especially for a list of easy drawing ideas.

Another sitting chibi with a slightly different position, but very similar ! It is just a little more laid back. This one has a thumb on her hand! A way to simply convey a little more details to hands without making it too complex.

Another sitting chibi, another position ! This one is crossing her legs, which can be a bit easier to draw if you hide parts of the legs (with the dress like I did in the drawing for example)

Again another sitting position, and this one is my favorite. It looks so relaxed and is actually easier to draw than it looks. I hid the hands between the legs, so you don’t even have to try drawing hands, haha

Laying Chibi

If you want to represent a nap in your journal or a tiring day, you can also draw a cute chibi sleeping!

Happy Sleeping

Another cute sleeping chibi drawing idea, but this one looks quite happy!

Running Chibi

Let’s add a bit of movement with this chibi running ! It looks difficult but is actually way easier to draw than it looks.

Simply Standing

Let’s draw another chibi standing with a tad more complicated outfit this time.

Chibi Girl Waving

Here is another chibi girl drawing idea that is a little more complex! Look at her hands – there is a lot of details. Even just drawing all the fingers is something I haven’t done in this list so far lol. I think it’s a nice one to try if you want to practice.

You can also discover it and more in the anime girl drawing ideas:

2 Head Cutie

If you like the very tiny proportions, this is a cute 2 head chibi you can try drawing~

Idol Chibi

This one is one of the most complicated ones of this collection, with the leg up in the air and the arms spread. I wanted to make it look like an idol !

Sleeping

Andddd another sleeping chibi in another position as well.

Walking

A relatively tall 3 head chibi walking around

Colored Chibi

Another 3 head chibi but in another style. You can see I drew a larger lower body versus a very tiny upper body. You can play around with proportions in this way as well!

Butterfly Chibi

A little bit of fantasy added to this collection by drawing this Butterfly chibi girl (or is it a fairy?)

Another butterfly chibi girl, who can not speak! She makes me think of Miffy. ♥ If you know, you know!

Cute Trio

Are these triplets, or is it the same chibi in different positions? In any case, isn’t it a super cute drawing to try ? I wanted to add a chibi that you can draw in multiple positions. It’s always nice to be able to draw the same character under different angles!

Sheep Chibi

A cute sheep chibi girl standing on her plushie. Don’t ask me where this idea comes from – I don’t know myself. She was originally gonna jump on a trampoline, but I then thought a trampoline was too hard to draw.

Jellyfish Chibi

And this is the last chibi drawing for this collection ! I love coloring with watercolors and this is one of my many tries at it with this cute jellyfish chibi girl.

Chibi Girl Raeding

This one is a super simple chibi reading a book. I realized I didn’t add much chibis doing some activities, so I wanted to add at least one lol. The nice thing with this chibi, is that the book takes a large part of the drawing – so many details are now hidden behind the book! That’s another trick for a quick and easy drawing~

Sana Chibi Dancing

Our last drawing of this list, for now! Do you know Kodocha? (Kodomo no Omocha) If you do, you most likely recognize this chibi. I learned to draw this cutie when I was a child watching Kodocha, lol. Literally, they teach us how to draw this in the anime. So I thought it would be nice to let you know, in case you have never watched it!

You can follow these steps:

Super easy, and super cute! ♥

Wrap Up

And that’s it for this collection of chibi girls ! Did you like it ? I really enjoyed drawing them all.

Maybe next time I can focus on chibi boys, but you can also make requests and I can try to honor them to the best of my ability~
