I love the way you draw your faces. Your coloring Style is brilliant. I love the way you shade your characters. I'm having trouble with the height issue in my characters. The head is always too big and the body is too small. Looks like a bobble head doll. Hahalol. Now there times I mean to draw that way because I did it for years doodling. However, I can't get out of it. Got any suggestions?

First of all thank you so much for the compliments! I think the best way to break bad habits is to draw things from reference. Drawing from life is best, so try doing observational drawings of people in public places. If that doesn't work for you, try drawing people from still, stock images or from videos. I definitely have a hard time with anatomy & still make all kinds of mistakes. It's hard to break bad habits, but if you're noticing them I think it means you're growing as an artist & that's a good thing!

Is this the real Chihaz, from YouTube? Everyone is saying that you were abducted from a target parking lot and killed?

Hey! This is a weird thing, to respond 5 years later to, but I just wanted you to know I am the real Chihaz from YouTube. I was not abducted from a Target parking lot and killed. Sadly that was Kelsey Smith, may she rest in peace. Based on the footage and the fact we had the same name I can see how people saw a resemblance then, but I am alive and well. Hope this message isn't too weird!

Okay, so that was really weird. I totally did the whole "Why does this art look so familiar?? Ohhhh, BakaNeko" thing again. And then I scrolled down and saw my comments from last year and was like, "Woah! Oh yeah..." The end. XD
Well anyway, hello there Chiharu-sensei

I wouldn't doubt that we'd met on an oekaki board sometime. But you also went to mori no ike?? ^^ I went to mori no ike for like three years! Next year I want to be a counselor. Look out for Chiharu-sensei.

Hehe, sweet. That's an interesting coincidence, lol. I'm going back next year, so maybe we'll see each other there.
Oh, and I was browsing through your gallery some more and saw the picture you drew for BBH and realized that I must know know you from Baka Neko. I used to draw there like, all the time, but not so much lately.

Ohh yeah I used to be big into Baka Neko. I had a brief comeback on the Kouhai board, but I haven't drawn much at all lately.
