Explore the Kawaii World!

Kawaii is an illustration style first made popular in Japan. Now it’s everywhere — you’ve probably seen many kawaii creations on Pinterest, Instagram, and more. If you want to join the fun, these two books will give you a great introduction into the Kawaii world!

Kawaii Doodle World is a perfect choice for anyone interested in kawaii! Author Pic Candle shows you how to draw kawaii-inspired art based on the things we see every day, like food, nature, office supplies, and more. The doodles are illustrated with simple step-by-step instructions, showing both Basic and Practice Steps, to get you started. Each section also includes “Get Inspired!” pages with even more drawings to delight you — these pages can also be colored in by you! At the end of the book is a section called “Fun Time!” with Search-&-Find Puzzles that you can also color. Sketching these cute characters sounds like an adorable way to spend your free time!

Our second suggestion is Crafting Cute, a great book for any interested in art, polymer clay, and crafting. Polymer-clay is a wonderful beginners craft, as it is inexpensive material and reusable – if you aren’t happy with your result, you can always start over again! In Crafting Cute, there are step-by-step guides to experiment and play with unique and super-cute projects like bacon & egg earrings, donut charms, or an octopus jewelry holder. These fun projects make great gifts and desk decorations. Sounds interesting? Let’s channel the artist inside you with us!
