Kawaii is a Japanese word meaning super-cute and in these books you learn all about it and how to draw in this adorable style!

Kawaii: How to Draw Really Cute Fantasy Creatures is the brand new, fourth book in this best-selling series, and features a host of fantastical beasts – some mythological, others from the imagination of author-artist Angela Nguyen.

Discover the cute aesthetic at the heart of the kawaii style, as you learn how to draw more than 40 incredible creatures, organized by the terrain that they inhabit – water, air and land.
