Atlas Gauntlets Included - Drawing Arcane's Vi in Chibi Form

Pinterest X Facebook Reddit

Vi hits hard in every version, and somehow shrinking her down to chibi proportions does not make those Atlas Gauntlets any less intimidating. This tutorial covers how to draw chibi Vi, the pint-sized version of Piltover’s toughest brawler from Arcane.

Big Gauntlets, Tiny Body

This drawing guide spans 26 steps, with the final one being the fully colored result. Chibi proportions change the rules a bit compared to drawing Vi at full scale. The head takes up a much larger portion of the body, the limbs are shortened, and yet all of Vi’s gear still needs to read clearly at that compact size. The early steps focus on nailing those exaggerated proportions before any detail work begins.

Key Design Details on Chibi Vi

Oversized head with short red hair
Blue-and-gold Atlas Gauntlets on both fists
Red cropped jacket over cream top
“VI” tattoo on cheek, freckles
Tan striped pants with brown leather straps and boots
Green eyes with a confident smirk

There is already a full-size Vi from Arcane on the site if you want to compare proportions side by side. For a face-focused approach, Vi’s face from Acts 2 and 3 zooms in on the details this chibi version simplifies. And if you want to draw her sister next, Jinx in her fierce look would make a solid companion piece.

What the Three Line Colors Mean

Each step image uses color coding so you always know what to draw next:

Red Color: lines added in the current step.
Black Color: lines completed earlier.
Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
