I have a first grader who loves to draw, especially Kawaii-style characters, so I'm always on the lookout for books such as these. Draw Kawaii Style is definitely a book that I'd pick up for her--it's got a good sample of illustrations (across food, people/animals, holidays, hobbies, nature), and I love the color palette the creative team used for this.

Special thanks to Quarry Books for making a copy of this book available to read and review through NetGalley.

Draw Kawaii Style was such an adorable drawing book. The pink cover with simple doodles grabbed my attention. The art seemed accessible, something even a novice could do. The author gives an informative intro, giving the reader information on Kawaii's history and the art style's characteristics. They also suggest simple tools, such as a notebook and erasers, to have in hand.

This book is excellent for public libraries and anyone new to drawing and wants a simple guide.

This is a cute instructional drawing workbook. I learned a few great tips and like how the artist laid the book out. I would recommend this to all artists, “amateurs” and “professionals”. Thanks to #NetGalley and Ilaria Ranauro for a copy in exchange for my review.

This book is adorable! I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this book for my classroom so that way my students can practice drawing. The pictures are beautiful and very easy to follow!

Gorgeous book aimed at youngsters hoping to learn how to draw Kawaii style. My two daughters (7 and 9) have already had hours of fun copying the characters from this book. My 7-year-old who can get quite frustrated with drawing books has found this straightforward to follow and has been really happy with the results of her drawing. I would say this is perfect for ages 6/7+. It’s a lovely, colourful book that is easy for children to follow by themselves.
