*Welcome to Draw It Cute!* by Heegyum Kim is an absolute gem for anyone looking to create adorable, whimsical drawings with ease. A compilation of lessons from her two popular *Draw 62* books—*Draw 62 Animals and Make Them Cute* and *Draw 62 Magical Creatures and Make Them Cute*—this supersized collection offers over 100 step-by-step tutorials that will have both beginners and seasoned artists creating irresistibly cute characters in no time.

The beauty of *Draw It Cute!* lies in its simplicity and approachability. Each lesson is broken down into easy-to-follow steps, often focusing on how to construct basic geometric shapes that form the foundation of the character. From there, Heegyum Kim teaches how to add identifying features such as ears, arms, and feet, before finishing with the signature facial expressions that bring each creature to life. Whether you're learning to draw a capybara, a mermaid, a red panda, or a unicorn, you'll quickly develop confidence as you work through the fun and rewarding steps.

The book’s layout is highly user-friendly—each drawing lesson takes up a single page, and many are followed by variations of poses, outfits, accessories, or expressions. This added variety keeps things fresh and exciting, allowing artists to experiment with different looks for their characters. The presentation is both playful and practical, with a compact, portable design perfect for drawing on the go. It’s clear that Kim’s intention is to make drawing as fun and accessible as possible, making this a great resource for beginners, doodlers, and even experienced artists looking for some lighthearted inspiration.

The animals and magical creatures featured in the book are both adorable and diverse. From the fluffy alpaca and endearing whale to the fantastical dragon and angel, there’s a wide range of subjects that will appeal to anyone with an affinity for cute, quirky art. The designs themselves are charming without being overwhelming, offering just the right amount of detail to challenge beginners while still keeping the process enjoyable.

What really sets *Draw It Cute!* apart is the way it blends learning with playfulness. The exercises not only teach essential drawing techniques, but they also encourage creativity and experimentation. Each lesson sparks a sense of joy and accomplishment, and the end results are always delightful, whether you're drawing for fun, relaxation, or as part of a more serious artistic pursuit.

For anyone looking to dive into the world of cute and easy character design, *Welcome to Draw It Cute!* is an invaluable resource. Heegyum Kim has created a collection that's not only entertaining but also incredibly approachable, making it ideal for aspiring artists of all ages. Whether you're looking to develop your drawing skills, boost your creativity, or simply have fun, this book is sure to be a cherished addition to your art collection.

An adorable step by step guide for beginners to draw over 100 animals and creatures. Both my daughters (aged 9 and 10) love step by step drawing guides so had great fun with this which was perfectly manageable for their ages. One thing my eldest did comment on however and which slightly put her off the book was the cover, I think perhaps it wasn't as colourful as other drawing books she has used before. It wasn't something that I picked up on but interesting this was a first impression for her.

If you’ve ever wanted to draw something cute but didn’t know where to start, Draw It Cute! is the perfect starting point. Heegyum Kim’s lessons are straightforward, beginner-friendly, and, most importantly, fun. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone looking to explore drawing in a low-pressure, enjoyable way. Plus, with such a wide variety of animals and magical creatures to choose from, there’s something for everyone.

Draw It Cute! : 100+ Adorable Animals and Amazing Creatures. This is a drawing instruction book aimed at primarily at children but great for anyone wanting to pick up a few drawing skills in a fun way. There are over 100 cute animals to draw using step by step instructions. The book is mainly illustrations and is very easy to follow. I like the style of the animals too, all easily adaptable to suit your own tastes. A great book for everyone.

Draw it Cute! is exactly what this book is for. With over a hundred animals and characters to draw, this book will entertain children for hours and will help them develop their creativity and find the artist in them.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Draw it Cute! is exactly what the title says. The book consists of over 100 cute animals to draw and have fun drawing them. Each page has very little writing, focusing more on the illustrations and contains different poses for each animal, which was so much fun. Once you've mastered the basics in this book there's so much potential of where each creation can take you. The step-by-step instructions are basic and easy to follow, and with so many animals to choose from, it was hard to pick one to start with at first.

A very cute book, but the ebook version had some formatting issues I wish they'd have corrected. It made navigating the book hard on the NetGalley shelf app, which interrupted the flow of putting the drawing skills into practice.

This is, as promised, a super cute how-to drawing book! The examples are simple and easy to follow. Would recommend for someone with basic drawing skills, but would be fun for a beginner as well.

This was very helpful in helping me start understanding basic drawing concepts. I would recommended it to anyone willing to follow the easy to understand process of drawing cute illustrations.

DRAW IT CUTE! has so many different characters to draw! The step by step instructions are so easy to follow and there’s even tips throughout to help. And after they teach you the basic character, they even show different ways to change up the character! Perfect for beginners and artists who want to try out this style!

Draw It Cute! shows the process of completing a drawing therefore without actual artsy skills you will still feel puzzled, because the book doesn't teach you know how, but just shows the pictures in different phases of completion. As a person who is really bad at drawing and sketching I don't really recommend this book because the only thing that I can do with it is just look at pretty pictures. It's definitely way better as an inspiration for those who already have proper skills.

The problem I had with this book is the same one I find with most drawing books: little instruction and a lot of illustrations! The book assumes that the reader already is skilled in drawing. So even though there are tips throughout the book, they are tips like "use your imagination," "it's all in the details," "practice with different mediums," but the overall implementations of drawing just aren't there. I have some artistic skill but drawing animals or people just hasn't ever been my strong suit. But this just tells me to practice and shows me about 3 steps in drawing each animal and 3 versions of each final drawing per animal. Perhaps it's for a more advanced drawer...even though I wouldn't call myself a beginner.

I think this really is a cute drawing book! I love it and think it would be great for anyone new to drawing or anyone who just wants to maybe try a new type of fun drawings. It would be good for a kid or an adult in my opinion. I liked that there were a lot of animals we are familiar with as well as magic creatures in the book. I feel like the drawings have a kind of whimsical feel to them and I love that. Each drawing has several steps to get you to the finished drawing.

This book included so many cute drawings that were very easy to follow, I am looking forward to following this to create cute images myself

I always find it so fun to study these forms of books. One can learn so much from Heegyum Kim. The art is versatile and cute, there are many helpful tips, tricks, and ideas within the pages.

My mom who can't draw decided to give this a try with me, we enjoyed the Sheep and Elephant. Super easy to follow and we had fun!

This is a pretty basic how-to for making cute drawings of mostly animals, but also a few mythical creatures. It doesn’t go into any basic theory of drawing or anything like that; it may be best aimed at young readers, who will copy what they see on the page, step-by-step.

Thanks to Quarto and NetGalley for DRC access.

Lovely!

I'm having a lot of fun with this; easy to follow, nice to copy. A sweet little addition to any drawing book collection!

Very cute drawing tutorial book. Simple enough for kids, but still pretty detailed and fun. Great activity for people of all ages who want to learn to draw.

While the animals are very cute, and a big draw of this book, I don't find the illustrations helpful for teaching people how to draw. The little tips for you to think about how you are drawing, and variations you can do, are worthwhile but few and far between. As a result it doesn't tell me much about creating the lines and shapes.
