I haven't been interested in a how to draw book since I was a child, but this one caught my eye with the bright colourful cover and super cute characters.

The book itself it very good, with easy to follow steps and lots of different things to try drawing. I enjoyed it so much it's not only launched a new hobby for me, I'll be buying a copy for my own bookshelf. Thank you for the opportunity to try it!

This is a fun book with lots of tips and tricks that help even someone like me who has trouble drawing a stick figure. I love the Kawaii style. This would be a fun gift for others who enjoy it.

Excellent book and great fun in the bargain. One that I will be recommending.

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

In this book we learn how to creat cue/kawaii colourful art with characters and day to day objects brought to life by pen and personality. Great for kids and adults to have fun with and create a kawaii world! Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

This is a great addition to the Kawaii Doodle books created by Zainab Khan.. I have reviewed and purchased the previous books for my daughter so jumped at the chance to check this new drawing tutorial out.

This book is more advanced than the others. It focuses on and teaches you how to layer your cute designs to create one big picture. The book is broken down into 5 main parts: Grouping Kawaii Characters, Adding Fun Decorations, Adding Whimsical Patterns, Bringing It All Together and Creating Shape Doodles. Each new design begins by showing you the main character(s) that will be used in the drawing. Some of our favs were clouds, cupcakes, coffee and school supplies. You can either follow the authors original sketch or begin to play around with layering your own version as you get the hang of it.

The difficulty slowly progresses through the book. However, it was easy enough for my 10 year old to follow along with. We enjoyed drawing several of the images together. I like that it showed her how to build and layer the images as well as add more details to help give them more character. She has already asked if we can add this book to our collection as well!

You may be familiar with Pic Candle’s work from Instagram or other social media — she draws the most adorable doodles. She has two previous books - (1) Kawaii Doodle Class: Sketching Super-Cute Tacos, Sushi, Clouds, Flowers, Monsters, Cosmetics, and More, and (2) Kawaii Doodle Cuties: Sketching Super-Cute Stuff From Around the World. Her third book — Kawaii Doodle World: Sketching Super-Cute Doodle Scenes with Cuddly Characters, Fun Decorations, Whimsical Patterns, and More — is a perfect follow up to the previous two since it takes many of the doodles and teaches the reader how to combine the individual doodles into groups. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with her first two because this third one includes a refresher on how to draw many of those doodles.

Kawaii Doodle World begins with a short explanation of how to use the book followed by tools and tips/tricks. Pic Candle presents many group drawings and provides step by step instruction on the specific layout and shows the addition of each individual kawaii doodle — what to add and where to add it. The first few groupings are composed of homogeneous elements - for example, there is all clouds, all cupcakes and all mushrooms. Pic Candle then demonstrates how to create group drawings of different characters and how to fit them together. Some of these groups consist of doodles that are from the same category, such as fruits/veggies and cafe treats. Everything is so cute, you cannot help but smile and feel inspired to try drawing these cuties with Pic Candle guiding you every step of the way.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Rock Point and NetGalley for a temporary digital copy in exchange for my honest review. I will definitely be adding Kawaii Doodle World to my Pic Candle book collection.

I found the instructions for the drawings helpful, although I would have liked a few more pages at the beginning to practise the basics.

This is a great step by step for drawing Kawaii characters. Really well explained and easy to follow.

I tried these with my nephew and we had lots of fun drawing and then colouring them in.

Kawaii doodles live up to their name, which roughly translates from Japanese as "cute", but a particular kind of adorable cuteness that evokes stickers and huggable, squishy animals. If that appeals to you, you'll enjoy this how-to guide that will help you draw smiling cupcakes, clouds, bears, etc. Approachable and fun style. Lots of space to practice and step-by-step instructions. Good for older kids, teens, and adults who appreciate all things cute.

This is an easy to follow guide for starting to draw in the Kawaii style.

There are step by step guides to drawing different characters (for example vegetables, creatures, office supplies and plants). Each group starts with how to draw the individual characters and then how to build it up to draw a busy grouping. There are also examples of embellishments which will eventually help to create your own designs rather than drawing those from the book.

Aimed, I think at a younger audience it was still a fun book for an adult and it was easy to produce some super cute images.

Adorable kawaii doodle book! Kids and teens will love this guide which helps you to bring your mindless doodles to life with personality and fun. The anthropomorphic little cakes, plants and even office supplies brought a smile to my face, and I liked the step by step instructions for how to make my own doodles - particularly the section on making shaped doodles and more complex, layered designs.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance digital copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Are you ready to level up your doodling skills? With this book, you can learn how to doodle various kawaii characters and add some simple techniques to your drawing skills.

This book is absolutely adorable. I saw it and thought it was so cute. I’m always doodling, so I thought it’d be a cute book to get. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to draw various characters in addition to how to take these characters and create a big picture with them. There’s all kinds of neat little additions the book covers as well, such as patterns that you can use to give your doodles extra dimension.

At the back of the book, there’s a few search-and-find puzzles that also double as coloring pages. If you can’t find the item you’re looking for in the picture, there’s an answer key at the very end. I thought it was a cute idea as well as a great way to end the book.

I think this is a great book for kids learning how to draw because it teaches you how to draw simple characters and patterns. It has some simple yet great drawing techniques that will be easy for kids to pick up and really feel like they are learning without the pressure of producing a masterpiece. The step-by-step instructions are easy for kids to follow, so I think it’s the perfect book to get for any kid interested in drawing.

It's fun to learn about cute kawaii doodles and how to make them! The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even though I'm not always successful due to my own poor skills!

"Kawaii Doodle World" is an amazing guide for little artists. The book focuses more on scene settings rather than just the characters and I really loved that, as scene building is where I find myself lacking a bit.
The book has easy to follow instructions and is fun, helpful, and, as expected, cute to the smallest detail.

Fun little book about how to doodle. Perfect for this summer when you need to concentrate on something or distress about the current situation in the world.
