How to Draw Cute Astrid Chibi | Easy Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial

Start your Astrid Chibi drawing with a large circle for the head.

Lightly add a vertical guideline and a curved horizontal guideline across the face. These will help you position the facial features later.

Under the head, draw a small, soft trapezoid shape for the body. Keep the body short and simple compared with the oversized head to create the classic cute chibi proportions.

Keep these first lines light because we’ll erase them when the final drawing is complete.

Now let’s build Astrid’s pose.

Draw two curved arms extending from the sides of the body. Raise one arm outward so she can hold her axe later, and bend the other arm toward her hip.

Next, sketch two short legs underneath the body and add a small oval at the bottom of each leg to guide the feet.

At this stage, focus on getting the pose and proportions right rather than adding details.

Now we can start bringing cute Astrid Chibi to life.

Using the face guidelines, draw two large round eyes with small highlights. Add a tiny nose and a simple curved smile for her cute expression.

Next, sketch her bangs across the forehead and add the headband around her head. Draw the ear on the right side, then create Astrid’s long braid using a series of overlapping curved shapes.

Finish the braid with a small pointed section at the bottom.

Next, add Astrid’s recognizable Viking outfit.

Draw the shoulder armor around the upper body, followed by the simple top underneath. Add a wide belt around her waist with a round buckle in the center.

Below the belt, draw several overlapping skirt flaps. Use simple lines and small dots to create the texture and details of her armor.

These little details will make the chibi design feel much more like Astrid while still keeping the drawing simple and cute.

Now let’s finish Astrid’s main character details.

In her raised hand, draw the handle of her small Viking axe. Add the axe head at the top using smooth curved lines to create the blade.

Refine her arm and hand around the handle, then add the smaller details to her braid.

Finally, shape both feet into short boots and add the little trim details along the tops.

Astrid is now ready for action!

Once you’re happy with your sketch, it’s time to create the clean line art.

Trace over Astrid’s hair, face, braid, outfit, arms, axe, legs, and boots using smooth, solid lines.

When the final outline is finished, carefully erase the rough sketch and construction guidelines underneath.

Your Astrid Chibi drawing is now clean and ready for coloring!

Time to add some color!

Use a soft blonde or warm yellow for Astrid’s hair and braid. Add warm brown tones to her top, belt, boots, axe handle, and headband.

Use dark gray shades for the armor, skirt details, and axe blade. Keep the skin a soft warm tone, then add a little pink blush to both cheeks for an extra cute chibi look.

Finish the eyes with dark pupils and small white highlights to make her expression bright and lively.

And your cute Astrid Chibi drawing is complete!
