With a focus on the kawaii style, readers will discover how to transform ordinary creatures into irresistibly cute versions, proving that even seagulls and stingrays can be charmingly appealing.

Nguyen begins by introducing essential drawing techniques through simple exercises that emphasize basic shapes, effects, and style. The clear, step-by-step diagrams make it easy for visual learners to follow along and replicate the kawaii critters. The book features nearly 100 different animals, ranging from beloved household pets to exotic wildlife, ensuring a wide variety of subjects to draw. Additionally, interactive pages encourage readers to practice their skills alongside the provided examples.

This engaging book not only teaches the fundamentals of kawaii drawing but also inspires creativity and fun. With just a simple biro or marker pen, anyone can dive into the world of cute art. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Animals is a perfect companion for adding a touch of charm to your artistic endeavors.

'Kawaii' is Japanese for cute, and here is the sequel to Kawaii: How To Draw Really Cute Stuff. In this book you can find out how to draw all kinds of animals in a cute manner and discover how to make your drawings look this way.

You only need the minimum of drawing materials to draw anything in this book and you probably already own them. You also don’t need to be an artist as it is surprisingly simple to draw in this style; far more so than in the style associated with manga. The introduction explains quickly and simply with examples how to make your drawings look cute and appealing. The rest of the book contains the projects, which are divided into where the animals are found. There are pets and common wild animals, ones found in jungles, forest/grassland, water and on the farm. Choose from favourites like cats, dogs, penguins, owls and even dinosaurs or try a more unusual creature like a red panda, stingray, platypus or armadillo. Each animal is shown in several simple steps over two pages together with a fact about it and several poses to try. Unlike the first book this one is more of a workbook as the second page of each project has a drawing to finish and colour in yourself. This is a great way of practising and creating some scenes without having to wonder what to draw. Learn the cartoon shorthand of depicting moods, movement and more – it is surprisingly easy and fun, suitable for all ages and levels of art experience and rather addictive. It is also a great way of making original and personal greetings cards or any other decorative project and like its companion volume one for the keeper shelf.
