Hello! My name is Phoebe, but I’m also known as Bobblejot. I started drawing at a very young age, but only settled into my current kawaii (Japanese for “cute”) style of illustrating about two years ago. Last year, I created a webcomic about a corgi dog and a Munchkin cat called Tori and Samuel. Since then, I’ve been creating content for it and sharing it on social media platforms such as Instagram and Webtoon on a weekly basis. I was inspired to take the step toward creating a webcomic by a character I created and grew really fond of, and I hope that this book will be able to help you on your own road to creating your own set of adorable “chibi” characters and mascots! How to Use This Book After some helpful information here in the beginning of the book about Tools and Tips and Tricks for drawing, there are seventy-five step-by-step tutorials divided into four sections: Land Mammals; Aquatic & Semiaquatic Mammals; Birds; and Amphibians, Fish, Reptiles & More. The animals within each section are arranged alphabetically, for the most part (there are a few out of order for layout purposes). Some tutorials are even accompanied by a Fun Fact, making this book not only an art book, but also a little educational. Let’s get started! Rhinoceros 1. Draw a circle for the head, with a guideline in the direction the rhinoceros is facing. 2. Draw a large rounded trapezoid, overlapping the head, for the body. 3. Refine the shape of the head and body using the lines as guides. Add the protruding snout to the left side of the head. 4. Draw the ears as upside-down V shapes, with curved lines inside for the folds. 5. Place the eye and mouth following the facial guidelines. Make the eye an elongated teardrop and the mouth a curved line. 6. Draw the horn on the snout as a rounded triangle. Curve the baseline of the triangle to give the horn depth. FUN FACT: Though there are species of rhinos known as white rhinos and black rhinos, they are both gray in color. 7. Draw short, thick front and back legs. 8. Give the feet some toenails with upside-down U shapes. 9. Finish your rhinoceros with a short, thin tail that has a tuft of fur on the end.
