My 8 and 6 year-olds have had great fun following these step-by-step drawings. The clear guides make it easy for them to follow and they have enjoyed drawing pictures for their friends. Categories include food and drink, holidays, natural world, mashups and more. This is definitely aimed at children, it's colourful and fun and mine spent ages going through the book and trying different ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this as a gift as I think it's a lovely book too get the creative juices flowing.

This is an adorable how to book! I love the illustrations and instructions of how to create your own cute drawings of various items and creatures. This is a great book for someone who has a decent handle for the basics (drawing circles, straight lines) and seems geared for upper elementary - elderly stages of life. I was able to make some pretty cute drawings myself and the way the instructions were broken down made it simple!

I received an ARC courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley. The opinions expressed are mine alone.

Adorable Art Class: A Complete Course in Drawing Plant, Food, and Animal Cuties: Includes 75 Step-by-Step Tutorials
By Jedi Rodgers

Well if you like drawing and adorableness this is for you. I have an 8 year-old daughter and she loves both of those things. I sat her down to show her the book and we immediately drew a dozen items found throughout the book. There’s a nice range of skill levels in the book so even as an adult I was entertained right alongside my girl. Her favorites were the lava lamp and storm cloud. I personally loved the garden gnome.

This is the perfect book to spend several fun filled hours with your kids or even by yourself. My daughter loved it so much she wants me to buy her a physical copy.

This adorable drawing tutorial is broken down into 5 categories; Food & drink, the natural world, delightful doodads, holidays, and mashups. The instructions are clear, and each picture is paired with a cute phrase.

This was a short cute book that teaches you to draw adorable and kawaii art and doodles, they have step by step and cover over colours, textures and shapes which is really good for those who would love to know the basics of drawing and can be good for younger audiences.

This book is more complete than the average kawaii and it's cute if you are not a fan of the rigid anthropomorphic eyes added to cute shapes and want more. 
It shows a more complex build for each figure including tips for pushing us to find our own style but doesn't include step by step. Only shows three steps for each. 
As an art teacher from Kindergarten and up this is the perfect book for those who are used to drawing from geometric shapes like sculpturing the drawing with structure. 
I love artworks that start with techniques, color theory, materials, tops for line and texture, shading... and all of these take the drawing a step forward and motivate us to explore our own style. And this is as the title indicated just adorable. Makes a perfect gift for young artists. The animals selected are amazing and the extras awesome including tips on adding background, accessories, or to associate a story and personality to the characters. 

(Will record an example and post to my reels - this sentence will not be in the reviews)

I agree that the drawings in this book are adorable, and the steps are easy to follow, but some have trouble with the order of steps and drawing background parts first. Maybe it would make the steps too complex for this easy guide medium, I'm by no means an expert! As it stands, you'd need to draw initial lines VERY softly or use an eraser.

🖍️Adorable Art Class by Jesi Rodgers

🖍️"Learn how to letter and create fun, adorable illustrations featuring everyday objects in this step-by-step guide—with tips, tricks, and practice space to kickstart your creative journey."

🖍️This drawing tutorial book really is ADORABLE!! The instructions are so easy to follow, and create little kawaii images. Both myself and Kitty had a try at some of the tutorials and they turned out great! There is definitely the possibility of putting your own spin on them too. There are over 70 tutorials and little practice spaces. The first one we tried was the fox/mushroom mashup - it's so cute!

🖍️We've been lucky enough to receive an ARC through NetGalley, but will be purchasing the physical book, because it will bring hours of fun!

Great book to help children and adults who aren't the best have fun with step by steps instructions. The instructions are clean and simple making them easy to follow and the selection of different things to draw are fun.

Definitely recommend for anyone who likes to be creative but may not be a natural!

Absolutely adorable!

I think that my 5 year old would love this book just as much as my middle school students. It was very cute, easy to follow, and provided such cute illustrations for kids and adults to draw on their own. Definitely recommend this book!

I received an electronic copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely adorable easy step by step instructions on how to draw cute little characters and objects. Great gift for anyone who might be afraid to try drawing, since these are just too fun to resist.

I recently bought myself an Ipad, Apple Pencil and ProCreate, so I can learn how to draw.

This book give you a step-to-step guide on how to draw different kinds of items. I followed along on several and it was fun. What I was missing in this book are tips and tricks, so I can learn how to create my own drawings from ideas I come up with myself, maybe inspired by the drawings in this book.

Now it was more focused on learning how to draw these specific items and not so much WHY we draw it in this way and how I can use it in the future when I draw myself.
