This tutorial will walk you through how to draw chibi Jinshi from The Apothecary Diaries in 13 steps. Drawing him in chibi form is simpler than his usual elegant design, but it still requires attention to his hair, robes, and smiling expression to capture his recognizable look.
Main Features of Chibi Jinshi
- Hair: Long, smooth hair styled in a half-back form, tied at the top.
- Face: Rounded chibi face with large closed eyes, a soft smile, and blush marks.
- Expression: Cheerful, childlike, fitting the chibi style.
- Clothing: Simplified court robes with flowing sleeves and sash.
