Learn to draw the cutest kawaii pictures in easy-to-follow steps! Kawaii is a Japanese term that means adorable or cute. In drawing, it describes a simplified style with rounded shapes, representing characters, animals, food, or any object that has a cute, childlike look. In this fun and colourful book, young (and young-at-heart) artists can unlock the secrets of kawaii drawing, from getting the right proportions to creating personality with different facial expressions and adding depth with layers of colour.
