We are Kawaii obsessed around here. If you are not familiar with Kawaii art, it’s an adorable art form that originated in Japan but has become very popular world wide, especially with young doodlers like my daughter. We wanted to share these books today because they would make great gifts for any young artists!
Kawaii Doodle Class by Zainab Khan
The Japanese word kawaii translates to “cute,” and this how-to book is chock-full of super-adorable images of tacos, sushi, smoothies, clouds, rainbows, cacti, doodle monsters, Christmas trees, lipsticks, teacups, and more for your adoration. Popular kawaii artist Zainab Khan shows you how to draw 75 super-cute characters with simple step-by-step illustrations and instructions. She has also included fun search-and-find images and inspiration boards that show you how to give your characters different facial expressions and zany accessories.
Our thoughts? Seriously… hours and hours and hours of fun…
I can’t get over how much my daughter loves this book! So much so that we shot a quick video to show you:
