Draw all the kitties! I wish my review could be that succinct, but alas, the Netgalley gods (who graced me with a digital ARC) do not agree。 What else can I add? That they are cute? D'uh, it's Kawaii。。。 I've got it! One word: Mercat! Draw all the kitties!

This is an absolutely adorable book with very clear instructions on how to draw these cute kitties in so many ways。 It took me a while to get through the book and draw them all and kept me amused plus helped me improve my drawing techniques。 They are simple and cute and can be used in so many different formats。 I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley for a fair and honest review。

Anyone who sits down with this book for 10 minutes cannot help but come out the other end with a smile。 It doesn’t matter if learning to draw these delightful creatures is your ultimate goal。 Just watching Yong move through the process of creating this charming series is enough to light up any burned-out smile。But for beginning artists, this book is even better。Crack the pages of this beginner drawing title and find chapter after chapter of easy-to-master, cute as a pinch on the cheeks, kitties in all their animated glory。Yong shares her easy techniques for playing kitties, curious kitties, kitties caught sharing their furry love and so many other animated personality situations。Readers – or should I say, artists – can draw kitties playing dress up, eating their latest meal, and just being themselves。This is hours of fun in a book and worth every cent its publisher charges to buy it。Now that I’ve extolled the wonders of this fabulous feline fantasy, it’s time for meow to put on my whiskers, grab my colored pencils and draw。ml@michellelovato。com BoutiqueBooks@hotmail。comHappy are those who respect the Lord and obey him。 You will enjoy what you work for, and you will be blessed with good things。 Psalm 128: 1-2 。。。more

Kawaii Kitties is a book full of ideas to assist you in drawing your own kitties。 It's a great introduction book for those wishing to begin to draw those cute kawaii images。The Introduction explains what Kawaii is, explains how to use the book and what tools are required。 It then begins with basic body, head, leg and arm shapes and provides details and arrow directions for drawing the shape along with space to practise yourself。 Next it shows you were to place the facial features and provides a Kawaii Kitties is a book full of ideas to assist you in drawing your own kitties。 It's a great introduction book for those wishing to begin to draw those cute kawaii images。The Introduction explains what Kawaii is, explains how to use the book and what tools are required。 It then begins with basic body, head, leg and arm shapes and provides details and arrow directions for drawing the shape along with space to practise yourself。 Next it shows you were to place the facial features and provides a table of the different facial expression that could be drawn。 Also included is a colour palette。The book provides 75 drawings for you to follow to with the kitties being playful, doing daily activities, being curious, playing dress-up, sharing love, different breeds and food Each drawing comes with plenty of steps to make up the image alongside a description of the shape and its purpose。 There are single kitties, others are pairs and some come with objects or as food。At the rear of the book are 25 images that are fully drawn that could be coloured in。I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review。 。。。more

I was given this book in digital format via Netgalley to review。I would prefer it in a print on paper spiral bound format。With a lot of whimsy, this collection of cat caricatures could be either fun or frustrating to attempt。The range of kitty poses and attitudes runs the gamut。The author has talent。

My 10 year old daughter thought this book was adorable and wanted to draw some of the kitties。 This would be a great gift and would be checked out often from the library。 Anything that says Kawaii and Kitties can't be bad :)Thank you NetGalley, I just reviewed Kawaii Kitties by Olive Yong。 #KawaiiKitties #NetGalley My 10 year old daughter thought this book was adorable and wanted to draw some of the kitties。 This would be a great gift and would be checked out often from the library。 Anything that says Kawaii and Kitties can't be bad :)Thank you NetGalley, I just reviewed Kawaii Kitties by Olive Yong。 #KawaiiKitties #NetGalley 。。。more

Super cute! Exactly what I look for in a drawing book。 I don't really like drawing so I lean toward the easy drawing books。 This is perfect for that。 It's got lots of step by step instructions to make it easy even for non-drawers。 The author goes through a quick list of supplies, which are very few really a pencil and paper should cover you mostly。 She takes you through body types and facial expressions。 She includes some info on coloring。 Then it's pose after pose after pose, and it really give Super cute!

Going through it a second time was even more fun! Can't wait to try these all out。 The best ones are the catosaurus, the unimeow (cat as a unicorn or I guess you could call that a caticorn), and the accountcat (cat as an accountant)。 One cat says, "The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap。 Stay safe。 Eat cake。" There are such great ones that make you chuckle and some even laugh out loud。 Cats, cuteness, and chuckling! Great combination! Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

The techniques are broken up into chapters starting with how to draw cats in the same style, facial expressions, and in different positions。 There’s also chapters dedicated to clothing, different cat breeds, and so on。 At the end, there’s a few coloring pages for people with a physical copy of the book to practice coloring in the cats。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。 The section on coloring is a single page and not informative, so I can see kids and anyone new to drawing getting frustrated。 Otherwise, I think it is a cute book with simple and easy drawing techniques that won’t overwhelm people new to drawing。 Plus, it’s great way for fans to support the artist。 。。。more

The book doesn’t go into details about coloring or shading, but the artist shows a small complete image with every cat, so you have some ideas to use if you need them。 If you like doodling, adorable art, cats and you are a beginner/need some hand holding this book is purrfect for you。 I was looking forward to the food and cat section Free netgalley book for review~。 3。5 ⭐️~⬆️ This is a cute book!

To start with, I’ve taken drawing classes and I do not have drawing talent。Each design is broken into quite a few steps which is great for a beginner。My kitten drawings are not as cute as the ones in the book yet, but the are recognizable as kitties。 With just a few days of practice, they are getting better。Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review。

A digital copy of this book was offered to me by Netgalley for a honest review。What a cute book! As a cat lover, and japanese-everything-inspired-fan I absolutely adored this book。 The author included a variety of how-to-drawings of kawaii kitties in different poses, outfits and food。 The book is well sectioned and the in-between chapter drawings are a delight to the eye。I find that this book is more towards children though, but can still be enjoyed by anyone

Tami

Such a cute how to draw book! I’m addicted to everything Kawaii, and this books easy to follow instructions make it fun to learn! These cats are super cute, a bit pusheen-esque and oh so Kawaii! I can’t wait to cover my office in cute cat renderings。

This is such a cute book especially good for cat lovers who would like to try drawing kawaii cats。The drawings throughout the book are very similar but there are very useful instructions at the beginning of the book on how to change the shape and expressions of the cats so the possibilities are almost endless! I will definitely use some of the ideas from the book to decorate my bullet journal。 Thank you to Netgalley uk and Quarto Publishing for giving me an arc of this book。

Jenny Houle

Easy to follow instructions。 I realized after the fact that I definitely had a theme in the ones I tested out, going with “The Box Tester”, “The Snoozer” and “The Dozer” as my first three。 My test sketch issues were with me/my skill level and not the instructions。
