Day 111: chibi me

A "chibi" is a Japanese manga style of drawing that means small and cute. I wanted to draw a self portrait, so I decided on this style.

I can't tell which one I like better. What about you? 

The chibi idea I got from a book called "Pop Manga" by Camilla D'errico. Here was her chibi that I used as a template to do chibi me:


Also, I experimented with incorporating white out pen like the art of Will Terrell. I like how the white matte helps Mini Me "pop."

Materials: pen, white out pen, markers, silver ink
Time: about two hours? I don't know ... I had so much fun!
