Please note that the body proportions in the above example are just a suggestion as there is no one set way to draw chibi bodies. Some can have absolutely huge heads as big as the body and some can be closer to more standard anime characters.
To follow this example draw the character’s body as tall as one and a half of their heads. Draw the torso the same legs to be the same height.
Please also note that though the ears are provided as a reference they will be covered by the hair in later stages of the tutorial.

For hair like in the above example draw the top part of the hair following the shape of the head and then branching out into individual clumps that narrow towards the ends.
Erase the parts of the head that are covered by the hair after you are done. You can leave the eyebrows and other facial features (if you want to draw a different hairstyle) overlapping with the hair as this is fairly common for these types of characters.
In this case the character will be wearing a basic school uniform. Draw the top part of the outfit as well as the shoes and socks pretty much hugging the shape of the body with the sleeves and skirt fanning out towards the bottom.

On the face add the pupils, reflections in the eyes and eyelashes as well as the some blush on the cheeks. You can also draw a pair of very light lines to indicate the top area of the eye (which will be shaded darker). This area tends to be darker because of the shadows cast by the eyelashes as well as the reflection of the darker colored eyelashes in the eyes.
Start by filling in each area with the appropriate color. If you are coloring on paper be sure to leave the reflections in the eyes, hair, and buttons white. If coloring digitally add them in at the end.
For the neck you can just darken the entire area for the rest of the shadows make draw them roughly tracing the shape what is casting them (hair/skirt/sleeves/eyelashes). For the darker top of the eyes you can use the line from the previous step to separate the dark and light parts.
