Kawaii things to draw12/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Plus, it’s great way for fans to support the artist. Otherwise, I think it is a cute book with simple and easy drawing techniques that won’t overwhelm people new to drawing. The section on coloring is a single page and not informative, so I can see kids and anyone new to drawing getting frustrated. While I do think this is a fun and cute book, I think that people looking to learn how to draw might be disappointed when it comes to coloring the cats. At the end, there’s a few coloring pages for people with a physical copy of the book to practice coloring in the cats. There’s also chapters dedicated to clothing, different cat breeds, and so on. Then there’s a quick explanation on kawaii and what it entails, what mediums she prefers to draw in, and how one can use this book.įrom there, we dive straight into learning simple drawing techniques! The techniques are broken up into chapters starting with how to draw cats in the same style, facial expressions, and in different positions. I’ve been following Olive on Instagram for a while now, so was very excited to read this book! The opening introduces you to Olive and how her art social media platforms, Bichi Mao, were born. I received a copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review. It's still a very nice book, three stars for me, for I liked it. There are other books that have been a much better fit for me personally, but I seem to be in the minority so obviously it's the right fit for many. It's okay, but you could easily just look at the cover and follow the basic shapes to do it all on your own. I did appreciate the chapter on other breeds so there was finally some difference in them, but the drawings are just here's this part of this wavy shape you draw, and then you do this wavy shape, and then you do the face. I guess I just don't need to draw that many shapeless cats cheerleading or with fish tails. There's only so many ways you can draw mostly identical cats so there are chapters of things like cats in animal costumes or with a tie and a briefcase. I would have loved more variety in them since IRL cats really do come in all kinds of shapes and sizes (I guess for kawaii they have to just be round?). A lot of the cats honestly looked more like hamsters to me. For some reason they all have two dots over their eyes and no whiskers. The cats all have mostly the same shape and faces. I love the cover, but the inside is just lots and lots of step by step drawings of what mostly looks like the same fat cat blob in slightly different poses and with different coloring. I expected to like this drawing book more than I actually did. ![]()
