Cute Creature Art Class gives readers/artists exactly what they expect: a book full of step by step instructions for drawing adorable magical creatures of land, sea, and air. The instructions are easy to follow and there are some basic tips for drawing at the beginning for anyone just getting started. I love this artists style and have been following her on Instagram for a couple years now. I’m so happy to see this art book coming out and hope to see more people discovering her work!

let me start by saying that I have been a fan of Naomi Lord for 5 years now. I remember checking her Instagram right after school as I waited with anticipation to see her new daily drawing. This book brings out the same giddiness in me as I feel like I was transported back to being that same little kid.

While my enjoyment of this book was fueled by nostalgia, I will admit that new fans will love it as well. The main appeal I always had of Naomi Lord was the types of creatures she drew. While most fantasy artists limit themselves to unicorns, mermaids, and the occasional sphinx. Lord takes it one step further by introducing unique creatures of various mythologies, such as a kirin, quetzalcoatl, akhlut, and so much more. Another part was that she included multiple animal combinations for the imaginative who want to take it a step further.

Another aspect I enjoyed was how detailed the instructions were and how Lord was able to break down the complicated drawings to simple shapes, perfect for beginners. The first few pages are also filled with Lord introducing how she developed her art style and how to reference it. I know I'm going to be using her advice!

I really love Naomi's art style and I was eager to try her tutorials. I have some experience with traditional drawing and I'm really trying to learn more about the digital one. She explains beautifully how to follow her tutorials for both techniques (drawing and coloring as well!) and gives easy to follow examples about how to customize the characters at the beginning of the book.
Another thing I really loved is that she's giving a little bit of information about each character.
The tutorials are easy to follow and while it may take a few tries depending on you experience, you'll end up with a super cute drawing you'll be proud of

This is just precious!

I went through the steps on how to draw one from each section and it was a fun time. the artstyle is simplistic and reminds me of the chibi how-to-draw books I loved when I was in middle school.

The mothman one was the mvp though (definitely biased)

Loved the wide variety of creatures from several different mythologies and cultures. The wording of the directions are easy to understand and it truly walks you through each one step-by-step. Especially enjoyed that there was even a section on how best to color it.

I was so excited to get a copy of this book to review as I'm a huge fan of Naomi's art!

The illustrations are beautiful and the tutorials are so clear and helpful. I've already tried out the Kitsune tutorial but applied the body outline to a cat I was illustrating and I love how it turned out!

So many cute little creatures and I love that there is a range of characters with their different poses to try out!

This is an adorable and easy to follow little guide with step-by-step instructions on how to draw cute creatures like dryads and kitsune. I enjoyed this a lot!

I can't resist these books, especially by youtuber Naomi Lord. I love that it's about 160 pages each double page has a creature. The style is kawaii (cute) and the step-by-step (some have up to 29 thumbnails explaining) comes with a short explanation for each thumbnail. Plenty of diversity we can learn to make feathers, characters, and animals with four paws but also winged ones. There's a lot.
Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for this digital Arc.

Simply adorable! Naomi Lord manages to make even Cthulu and the wendigo look cute!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and Naomi Lord for this free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This classic 'how to draw' book takes you step by step through several different categories of chibi mythological creatures. As someone who loves to draw (but isn't necessarily very good), I really appreciated how she didn't skip steps and just assume you'd be able to fill in the blanks. The inclusion of tips for complete beginners, as well as for traditional vs. digital media was a great decision, and I appreciated her suggestions for how to color in your creatures at the end of each tutorial. Naomi's upbeat and enthusiastic approach to art comes across well on these pages, and artists and hobbyists alike are sure to find plenty of fun in Cute Creature Art Class.

This book would be a great purchase for anyone who enjoys the chibi art style or fantasy/mythological creatures and is suitable even for beginners.

Such an adorable book about learning to draw mythical creatures! I fell in love with the author’s particular drawing style. They’re all so precious!

Coming from the perspective of someone who doesn’t actually draw very much, some of the illustrations felt a little intimidating or unattainable, but the instructions themselves were to the point and simple to follow and understand.

Your basic "how to draw anime" book. Very cute creatures! I wish the images were much larger, I don't think it's going to be very helpful if readers can't see the final image bigger.

I have been OBSESSED with Naomi Lord for a few years now, and seeing this book made me so happy. It's such a well organized and easy to follow guide to drawing creatures like hers.

I really like this. The art style is adorable and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am sure I’ll be making use of the tutorials in future. I’ve not drawn much lately, and this has inspired me to start back up again.

The book “Cute Creature Art Class- Learn to Draw over 50 Magical Monsters” by Naomi Lord gives step by step drawing tutorials for mythical creatures in a cute anime style.

The tutorials are easy to follow and offer a great variety of creatures. I especially like the "Mythical Combos" section of the book in which two creatures are combined into a new species. The artist's signature style really is enchanting and very versatile.

The only thing I would have liked to see in addition to the existing chapters would be a section focusing on the specific body parts in a side by side graphic so it's easier to create my own combined creatures.

I would recommend this book for entry level artists wanting to dive into simple creature drawings.

A big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Quarto Publishing Group- Rock Point for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Very cute drawings!! I only wish I was a better artist so I could draw all these adorable creatures! I highly recommend this for anyone who likes cute stuff and art.

I fell in love with this book. The simple how-to made it a easy to follow and made it fun to do. I didn't know who the artist was but all I can say is that their art style is to die for. Absolutely adorable!

This is BY FAR the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. I used to draw ALL THE TIME as a child, and now working in architecture I still get to draw but nothing this adorable. The layout of the sheets/creatures is easy to understand and the steps are perfectly illustrated. I most definitely will be picking this book up when it's published! I have no other words, you need this ADORABLY CUTE book! I will be recommending/buying this for so many people I know. I can't think of one negative thing to say about this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in return for an honest review.

The art style? ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. The creatures? SO CUTE. As someone who admittedly can barely draw, I tried and gave up on a few of the tutorials. I think this would be fantastic for anyone who is a little more experienced with drawing (or at least has more innate sketching ability than I do!). It's definitely a very pretty book to look at.
