Chibi Style Trowa
Chibi style is usually used in dipicting extreme emotions, very small pictures, doujinshi (fan comics), and doodling! SD/Super Deformed/Chibi style is basically a charicature of the character...in a very small size. There are many different ways to approach drawing chibi. Just lemme give a few tips.
| Tips: The most important features should be emphasized in chibi-style. Eyes, hair, and clothes are some defining characteristics. Take a look at my example below. On the left is a screen shot of Trowa. The right is a super deformed version. The key is to simplify. |

As you
can see, the SD form look a lot less detailed

Pictured here are several examples of styles that you can experiment with. The first pic is a lousy imitation of the DomonW comic style. The center is an example of a more detailed chibi. The hair is wispy and he has unusally large eyes. The cat is to show you just that you only really need to get the hair on right. ;)
Proportions: Chibi is Japanese for "Child". Therefore, in SD/Chibi style, the head will be larger than the body. Also, keep the features pretty close together and the eyes should be large. (Large eyes=innocence).
Well, I'm not going to show the steps I take for Trowa because they're too similar to Heero's. (Really, I just use different eyes and hair!) Also, one of the DomonW comics shows a good way to draw him. :D But if you WANT steps go to Chibi Heero Tutorial.
