'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.
