While at first, I was worried that the book was tailored toward the more experienced artist, it did a wonderful job of breaking down each pattern and style. A beginner artist could mimic her exact layout and style, a more intermediate one could combine and adjust to their liking. There are lots of helpful hints and the step-by-step instructions were very detailed. I also enjoyed that there was a refresher at the end of the book.

This is seriously the cutest doodle book I have come across. I can't wait to try some of these doodles and see how they turn out. They are so cute and I love how the book gives you the thing you are drawing and then the basic steps of how to do it and then practice steps and even how to incorporate it all together. Great book, I highly recommend.

This is an adorable Kawaii "how to draw" book that has simple steps for anyone to follow! My husband is absolutely horrible at drawing, and usually draws basic stick figures, but he was able to follow along with me!

It not only showed you the absolute basics on how to create the kawaii creatures, but also how to group them into fun shapes, how to do the backdrop, add perspective and even fill them in. This is definitely a fun activity to do with all ages and is a great addition to any drawers "how to" collection!

I would definitely recommend this to all that are interested in learning how to make kawaii creatures!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes. I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me this opportunity!

This book is super cute and great if you are looking to get into drawing. It is a simple book on how to draw in the 'Cute' world of Kawaii. This book would be great for beginners or the seasoned drawer. It gives you illustrated step by step graphics and instructions on how to draw the perfect object.

Would be a brilliant buy for young and old alike :)

A really well set out book with clear instructions.

Split into 5 sections there’s something for everyone. Each section builds on the last and there’s even 4 hide song seek puzzles at the end.

My daughters love Kawaii characters so they’ll be having a go at these cute doodles.

It’s a Kawaii World!
Kawaii Doodle World is an excellent follow up book to Pic Candle/Zainab Khan’s other Kawaii doodle books. This book takes the character sketch further with layering, and pattern design. The instructions are limited, but the visual examples are excellent. It would have been helpful, to have the Kawaii Doodle Refresher Course at the beginning of the book. Though, the characters broken down in this part are only a brief selection of characters featured in this book. So, I do recommend reading Pic Candle/Zainab Khan’s previous books that focus on character doodles first. There is a nice progression of difficulty from the beginning to the end of this book. With attention to layering characters, and filler designs. As in the title, they may look like doodles, but there is a lot of sketching. Especially when the characters become more complex, and more layered. Following the Tips and Tricks does help when finishing the doodles. The eye and mouth placement are really important, as an uneven ratio can give the characters creepy expressions. Again, this is a more challenging kawaii design book, that includes a lot of time sketching to get the designs as cute as Pic Candle/Zainab Khan’s. A super cute, kawaii, way to relax and draw.

I got this book so that I could do some of these lovely drawings with my little one. The characters and decorations are really fun and the author does a wonderful job of both breaking them down and building them up so you can see how to make really simple drawings and then how to use those skills to create more complex scenes. It's the perfect starter book if you or your kids are interested in drawing these cute doodly characters.

with gratitude to Quarto Publishing Group and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I adore these 'how to draw' books and I assumed this would be more of the same type. Tiny little kawaii creatures to draw. However, this was so much more. In this volume, it showed you how to combine the kawaii characters to make a larger amalgamation that was a cross between elaborate packaging and graffiti.
It showed you the basics of grouping, backdrop, perspective and filling in. I think this is a fantastic addition to any drawing book selection and definitely had a lot of excellent points that I plan to go back and revisit. It's a different take on a popular subject that would help with composition and marketing designs.
Fantastic.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group/Rock Point for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is usually not my thing but this looked interesting so here I am. Unfortunately, apparently I am definitely not an artist at all! Maybe it's just practice. I did find this interesting and it looked fun, but I think it's not my style. Still nicely done and easy to follow instructions. 3.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I love Kawaii Doodles! They are so cute and charming. Just a quick look inside will have you inspired to want to draw more. I love how the book is broken into chapters, as it keep it concise and easy to follow. There are steps on how to draw some of the characters and also how to integrate them together to create an inspired piece.

I would highly recommend for all ages and stages of doodling!!

Kawaii Doodle World is a fun introduction to drawing kawaii objects. The book is easy enough for people of all ages and skill levels because it is digestible and broken up in a way where readers can take pause and take breaks. Overall concept seems simple but the author puts the drawings together in clusters that make it feel interesting and unique. I would love to see the next step in teaching how to make ordinary objects more kawaii-like.

What a delightful little book of doodles! You may have heard of Pic Candle's Kawaii doodles, with its adorable little blobs - potted plants, household objects, monsters, stationeries and pretty much everything else. Zainab is so talented!
This book teaches you the basics of this type of doodling. It is a step-by-step guide to drawing the blobs, grouping them into different shapes and adding expressions and patterns to them. I sat down and tried them myself. It was so easy after a few tries. And now I am absolutely hooked.
This doodle guide is perfect for meditative art, making cards for your friends or even just enjoying the process. I loved it!
Also the last few pages contain some fun games of finding a particular blob in a sea of Kawaii doodles.
Thank you Netgalley for the e-ARC.

Amazing drawing book! I'm obsessed with Kawaii drawings, so I just had to try this book for myself. I'm not a skilled illustrator by any means, but this book is so practical and easy to follow, I had no problem following through and ending with more than decent drawings:) The pictures inside are beautiful and there are even a couple of pages fo you to color in!
The drawing tutorials range from easy to more advanced. The more advanced involving more detail in the Kawaii doodles, but everything is so well explained, you'll love it.
I would totally recommend this for beginners trying their had with doodles!

Kawaii Doodle World by Pic Candle, Zainab Khan is an brilliant book for teaching you how to draw Kawaii style drawings. Easy to follow and with full instructions.

This book was super cute! A little more advanced than I realized, it guides you through creating kawaii scenes with multiple characters. There is a handy refresher at the end of the book to help you draw some specific characters, but the majority of the book is about creating cute multi-character scenes. Really adorable and fun!

Cute drawings, though step-by-step guide isn't always clearly broken down, as much as I'd like to see to follow. The addition of the find the character towards to back is an adorable add-on and would probably be greatly appreciated by the younger crowd (pre-teens).

I was allowed to view a copy of Kawaii Doodle World for my review. We recieved a copy from NetGalley for our honest opinion.

My daughter has been very interested in how to draw type books. With being home due to stay at home orders, she was thrilled to have some new items to practice doodling. She is 9 and this book was very kid friendly. There are step by step instructions and examples for her to follow or draw inspiration from.

Kawaii Doodle World is a great book for anyone looking to get into Kawaii doodling. This book mostly focuses on creating scenes with the kawaii doodle characters, however the back of the book does provide a refresher course on drawing the characters if you need it. The book provides thorough instructions on how to create a scene from placement of the kawaii doodle characters to adding extras. While my drawing is not fantastic, this did provide me a way to try to improve on my doodles.

This is a really cute and helpful guide on how to create kawaii doodle scenes! Since I never went through the first book I don't know how much I'm missing, but I kinda wish the individual doodle guides were together with the scenes. Overall really good doodle book tho, and I feel like I learned a lot!

The author of this adorable book tells readers early on that the word Kawaii roughly translates as "cuteness."  Well, the doodles that you can make from this book are just that.  It is a feel good collection that I highly recommend. Learn how to make the sweet, whimsical doodles.  Enjoy a few tricks; for example, think about where to place the two dots for eyes and the smile. Whether you like to draw or not, this title will bring a smile to your face.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
