How to draw super-deformed style Manga characters and animals

In this course, we will learn how to draw Manga figures in super-deformed style.

This is a hyper-styled type of drawing. This means a step further from loosing realism and naturalism in characters.

This deformation consists in making the characters more "child-like" and exaggerating their expressive traits. Sometimes, the super-deformed style is called "chibi" (small, child).

Figures in super-deformed style do not measure the common "8 heads", only from 4 to 2 heads.

Look at the example I have drawn below, their heads must be enormous! In the first drawing, the normal girl measures 8 heads. In the second one, super-deformed style, with 4 heads. And in the last one, even more exaggerated, measuring only 2 heads.
