I love this kind of books because you can start drawing (even with 0 skills), learning how to get to the final picture step by step.
I find this book a great help for people who want to start drawing, but for whom YouTube videos are not enough to build a talent.
The illustrations in the book were so cute. It’s useful if you’re looking for references or ideas, but there isn’t enough details telling you how to draw the images if you don’t already have some basically understanding of drawing composition
The cuteness is just abundant in this book. It kept my 8 year old daughter and her friends busy for hours! I’m a big fan of anything that can help nurture creativity and this book is cream of the crop in that regard.
this was so cute! i really enyojed it and even my children did too. thank you for approving this title to me
Lovely book with great drawing tips. My girls really enjoyed this one and were able to recreate some adorable joyous drawings.
I loved the cute designs and the easy to follow instructions! I can already tell a few of the kids in my library's anime club will be wanting to check this out to make their own kawaii drawings,
Thank you Netgalley for the eARC! I love kawaii books and I love doodling, so I was excited to learn more from this book. There were some helpful tips in the beginning, like how to make drawings unique to your personal art style, but after that it was a step-by-step guide on how to draw specific images drawn by the author. I'm not a huge fan of those types of learning-to-draw books because then I just want to recreate the exact image in the example. I still think some people would find this book helpful though, so I would still recommend it.
I'm addicted. I've now read so many How to Draw Kawaii Stuff books and all I want to do is draw little kawaii items all over everything I touch while holding a pen. Including professional paperwork. I'm not ashamed. Everyone needs some kawaii cuteness in their life. Go, get this book and introduce some cute happiness into your world.
Such a cute book to get into drawing. Beginner friendly, I’m terrible at drawing but had so much fun with this. Can’t wait to see more from this author.

Another good book to add to the many instructional books on kawaii drawing. This one is better suited for more experienced artists.
My thanks to NetGalley for a digital review copy. I love these drawing books for the library and to have in my craft supply area for quick referencing for cute faces to draw! Super cute!
Kawaii Drawing is an adorable tutorial and drawing guide for a huge number of cute line drawn subjects by Becky Castañeda. Released 24th Oct 2023 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 112 pages and is available in paperback format.
It's a truly accessible and beginner friendly guide and readers of all ages will be able to draw cute doodles and small drawings pretty easily. The author introduces the kawaii (cute) style clearly and understandably along with a short tutorial on tools and materials choices.
The tutorials themselves are arranged in chapters and include both character drawings (bunny, cute cat, kitty, mermaid, etc) as well as objects (trees, flowers, sushi, cakes, and more). Each short tutorial includes step-by-step drawing instructions with accompanying explanatory text. They really are cute and easy to understand.
This would make a great selection for public or school library acquisition, home use, as well as for child-minders, babysitters, or anyone who would like to improve their drawing ability with the youngsters in their lives. Doodling is a fun hobby and this book will get readers drawing quickly and easily.
Four and a half stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
Really fun things to draw with simple and easy to follow instructions! I use these doodles to decorate my journal.
I found the guidance and steps easy to follow. It made someone like me who is years out of practice of drawing look like I knew what I was doing! Fun and relaxing. Will definitely recommend to budding artists or for someone looking for a new creative outlet or relaxing hobby.
Super cute but best for intermediate level artists. Drawings are very specific rather than generic so you can make your own.
This was fun and full of “Kawaii” illustrations to try out! I’m not a good artist, but I still had fun trying these out.
So cute! I already try to do some of the drawings and although I'm not good at all, I really enjoyed the process. I will keep practicing to be better. I actually feel like I learn something. Please, keep creating books like this one.
Great book for learning the cute art of kawaii drawing. My son and I had lots of fun trying out our art.
