Eh, I was going to take photos of me doing the stuff, but my camera is broken (aka. I'm too lazy, and it's not good for me to eat that much sugar).

How to draw a chibi in 15 simple steps:

1.   Find a chibi to serve as your 'Chibi-god'. (In my case, the RJ-Bikini-Chibi.)

2.   Meditate and immerse yourself into the world of 'Chibi' by reading manga with chibi in it. If chibi-manga can not be attained, resort to reading manga featuring cute characters. The characters MUST have eyes that take up at least 2/3 of their faces. (I recommend Kamichama Karin and Pitaten.)

3.   Squeal. A lot.

4.   Offer sugar to your 'Chibi-god'. If your 'Chibi-god' does not eat the sugar, eat it yourself.

5.   Repeat steps 2 through 4.

6.   When done with the initial steps, then prepare paper, pencils and a small shrine in dedication to your 'Chibi-god' for what inspiration you are about to receive. (Being Chibi-smote hurts... a lot.)

7.   Wait for a sign... or eat more sugar. Either is good!

8.   Draw on your paper a bunch of circles vaguely resembling the human anatomy. (The chunkier and bigger the head, the better)

9.   Draw the body of the chibi. (Fingers/toes are optional.)

13.   Draw the face. The eyes are important. (Noses are optional as well.)

14.   Add sparkles, kitty ears and hearts, and a smiley sun. (Actually, just clean up any details you're not happy about.)

15.   Tada! (Don't forget to make one additional offering to your 'Chibi-god' at the end.)

I put up a version of it on deviantART if anyone wants to read my useless commentary written in barely-readable scribble.
