How to draw Chibi Kakashi

Chibi Kakashi     One of my favorite characters in naruto is kakashi. What's not to like about him? He has killer ninja techniques, He's a former anbu captain (I think), and he has a sharingan on his left eye. He can even summon a talking dog! A dog with a cape! Sure he always arrives late and likes to read dirty books but who doesn't?

     Kakashi is a very detailed character to draw and this chibi kakashi I made is a replica of a clothing patch. If this was drawn with paper and pencil then this would have been a lot easier to do but since I made this using flash, it took me quite a while to finish. Funny thing was that when I was almost done drawing this chibi kakashi the computer suddenly froze up wasting all the progress I made. It was hard to believe that my last save point was still at kakashi's face. It really felt like I was redoing everything from scratch. So let this be a lesson to everyone. Always save! Ctrl + S every minute!

     This is a how to draw chibi tutorial on kakashi from naruto. I made this using flash 8 but to those of you who would rather draw this by hand, please do so. I even think it would be easier to draw this by hand. If you want to draw this using flash then please make sure you know the basics of using the tools in flash since I won't be able to explain the core details of each tool I use.

How to draw Chibi Ichigo

Step 1. What we do first is to know how to draw kakashi's chibi head. Draw a large circle for his head and draw three lines for the face just like the first image below. Curve the lines and carefully attach them to the large circle. After that we need to draw kakashi's chibi eye. make two lines like the third image below and slightly curve it to form the eye. Make a circle inside the eye but make sure it overlaps the upper eye lid.

Step 2. Delete the overlaping circle above the upper eye lid. Also erase the lower circle that runs across kakashi's face. see second image below. Now for kakashi's chibi mask. This is quite simple just draw four lines that cover the chibi's face (see image 3.) . Now curve the lines to make it look like a mask.

Step 3. Drawing an anime's hair is not an easy task to do especially when your trying to replicate an image. What you can do to avoid or lessen mistakes is to draw the hair's outline first before all the heair details. When you're done, delete anything between the hair and the kakashi's upper mask (see image 2). Now we need to draw the konoha ninja band by making a line above kakashi's mask and curving it. Try tweaking the sides of the band to make it look like its bulging. Create the ears by making a curve and some squiggly lines inside it.
