How to Draw Various Characters from Sailor Moon Series
Chibiusa (Rini)
Head Shot at Side View

.
1.  Using what you already learned from drawing Usagi (Serena). In fact, Chibiusa and Usagi look very similar, and only difference is that Chibiusa (Rini)'s face is shorter than that of Usagi (Serena), and she has bigger eyes too.
2. Sketch the profile of her face, and make sure that her face looks childlike by having her large eyes taking up most of the face. Add the ear and neck.
3. Sketch the eye.
4. Draw the curving & zig-zagging lines to form the rest of her hair bangs. Make sure that her bangs are not too thick, and should be arranged neatly (think of barber).
  Lightly sketch the rest of her hair on her scaple so to make sure that her hair is not out of proportion in respect to her skull.
   Then draw the circles before adding in the conelike "points". 
5. Now the trickiest part is her ponytails. Each artist have different approaches to drawing her ponytails, so it helps to take a look at the pictures and look for patterns in her hairstyle.
     Now lightly sketch the ponytails the way you want it to be. Note how the ponytails are connected to her buns.
6. Do your best to draw her ponytails. If you're not happy with it, lightly erase that part and do it over again. It takes practice.
 7. Add in the necessary details like cheek shadowing, eyes, eyebrows, etc.
    Use a softer pencil to draw darker lines that you want to be inked, and critique it as you draw the darker line. For example, her face is bit too forward, making her look a bit ape-like, so I tried shortening her face, and she now looks better.
8. All done! ^_^....... she don't look quite right. Oh well. Critique this picture and see what sort of mistakes I made. That's what you will need to do with your own pictures so you won't repeat the same mistakes over and over. ^^
