Print

  1. Step 1: Thick top lids

    Left of the middle draw a thick rainbow eyelid, pointed at both ends. Draw another on the right.

    Tip Chibi eyes are huge, so leave lots of room under each lid.

  2. Step 2: Eye outlines

    From one end of each lid, draw a big rounded U down and up to the lid's other end.

    Tip Make each eye taller than it is wide.

  3. Step 3: Giant irises

    Inside each eye draw a tall egg that nearly fills it, with its top tucked under the lid.

  4. Step 4: Tall pupils

    In the middle of each iris draw a tall thin egg for the pupil. Colour it black.

  5. Step 5: Big shines

    Draw a big circle high on the outer side of each iris, and a small one low inside.

    Tip Big shines are what make chibi eyes sparkle.

  6. Step 6: Glow line

    Start on the left edge of each iris, low down. Draw a smile curve across to the right edge.

  7. Step 7: Lashes

    At the outer end of each lid draw 2 short eyelashes. Start on the lid and flick out and up.

  8. Step 8: Short eyebrows

    Above each eye, draw a short curved leaf eyebrow, pointed at both ends.

  9. Step 9: Light blue glow

    Colour the band under each glow line light blue. Leave the eye whites white.

  10. Step 10: Blue irises

    Colour the rest of each iris blue, around the pupils. Leave the shines white.

  11. Step 11: Brown eyebrows

    Colour the short eyebrows brown, right out to their pointed ends.

  12. Step 12: Black lids

    Colour the thick lids black. Go over your lines and your chibi eyes are done.
