How to Draw Chibi Summer Girl - Watercolor Pencils Tutorial

In this tutorial I will show you how to draw, ink and color a cute chibi girl that swim in the ocean.

[ Please also watch the step by step process in the video, it will help you to get how to do all the steps ]

MATERIAL NEEDED: watercolor pencils, watercolor paper, H pencil, eraser, brush, water, waterproof fineliner.

First we start drawing basic shapes: the girl body is like a bean and the swim ring seems a donut ahah.

Anyway this will help us to figure it out how the figure is done.

When we have done with the shapes we can finally add details on her face: eyes, hair, mouth ect. We also draw the sea, fishes and the sun.

Once the drawing is done, we ink the picture making both thin and bold lines. This will help us to increase dynamism of the scene.

We paint the girl starting from the skin: we will use brown, pink, red and ochre for reproducing the tanned skin.

We will layer colors several time.

Attention: wait until the previous layer dried, otherwise colors will mix together in a bad way!

Since the swim ring is transparent, we color only the shadows of it, adding also few reflections.

Then we color remaining parts: fishes, sea and the sun.

We add final reflection with white gel pen and that's it! ;)
