Kawaii is a Japanese word meaning 'super-cute', and it's a trend that's sweeping the globe. Anything can be drawn in the kawaii style, from animals, people, vegetables and flowers to food, vehicles and household items. Expert comic book and manga artist Yishan Li shows you how to achieve amazingly cute characters in a few simple steps.

 

Do you want to draw a singing cactus, a cheeky camera, a crying onion, or a playful panda? The choice is yours!

How to Draw: Cute Kawaii uses material from the best-selling How to Draw series, plus 32 brand new projects! There are over 100 projects to choose from, each full of character and charm. Each one is developed in eight easy stages from a rough sketch of the basic shapes through to the finished, coloured drawing, making this book appealing to adults and children of all ages and abilities.
