I did not know that this style of doodling was called Kawaii, but I love it. This book offers an easy how-to for beginners and non-artistic people like myself!

Sooooo cute! Step by step guides and an easy, simple drawing style, this book is for everyone:)

I adorable anything with the word kawaii in it! This book was adorable and wonderful! Everything was super cute and fun and I would totally buy it for anyone who loves doodling! I just think the art is freaking adorable!

I have fallen in love with Kawaii. Khan breaks each figure into easy to follow steps - so easy even I could do it. My creations didn't look as good as my artist bestie, but the I felt inspired. I read the digital version, but plan on getting this one one in paperback.

Kawaii Doodle Class is a sweet collection of drawings and cartoon food that show the reader how to sketch the items step by step.

I am definitely do not have any artistic skills but I thoroughly enjoyed using this book to sketch cute food such as fries and donuts. It is definitely great if you need a half hour to yourself to relax and get lost in creating something.

I would highly recommend Kawaii doodle class for anyone who is interested in drawing for fun.

Drawing books are strange beasts. Some focus more on broad concepts, on teaching how to draw in general, and some put more emphasis on making particular drawings. This tends more towards the latter. There is a section at the begining about kawaii style, ways to make everyday objects inherently cuter. But the primary focus is on replicating specific drawings.

Kawaii Doodle Class by Zainab Khan is an illustrated step-by-step resource guide on how to draw smiley lumps that look like food, animals, objects, holiday themes, and monsters. As down-putting as that may sound, it's really quite useful, dainty, and, yes, cute. 

The book starts with a list of tools and essentials what you can use to have a go with but so long as you have at least a pen or pencil with some paper to hand you can try some sketches from the off. The book pages are set with cute borders alike clouds, in pastel and deeper blue against the plain white background on which the drawing tips and demonstration step by step images sit on.

You don't need to be an amazing artist to be able to use this book as everything is super simple to follow, I personally loved the flower designs best and there's a handy way to draw a rose I found useful!

wonderful book with step by step instruction in drawing doodles.......

A fun and adorable book on how to draw 75 super cute characters. From food to animals to everyday items, Khan shows readers how to create these characters with step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. This drawing book not only shows you how to copy Khan's creations, but gives you plenty of ideas in how to create your own. After you read this book and apply the technique's, you will be well on your way to creating your own "kawaii" characters! Perfect for readers and artists of all ages!

A super cute how-to book on doodling by Pic Candle herself. Complete with easy to follow step-by-step instructions for beginners or people like me who can't draw, cutesy illustrations, and a neat puzzle at the end. I absolutely loved this book and everyone of all ages who'd like to draw will love this book too. 5 Stars

Lots of drawing advice for cutsie, Japanese-style kawaii doodles. Unfortunately, even whenever I follow all the directions, I end up drawing some sort of horrifying blob-thing. Definitely not kawaii. More like koiwai.

Thank you to net galley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read Kawaii Doodle class in exchange for my honest review. Which is the following.

I do know this doodle artist, so I was curious what the book would be like. It's pretty great. It has a few different themed sections such as Everyday Cute, holidays, monsters amd more. Each sevtion has quite a few step by step tutorials as well as inspiration pages. These have different examples of how you can put different things learned in the chapter to use to make different faces, positions etc. if you don't have practice paper or a sketchbook yet, there are a few practice pages too.

These are tutorials aimed at beginners. I think it would be fantastic for kids and tweens. I think it would be great for planner and bullet journal addicts who want to learn how to make cute doodles for decorations. I'd also recommend it to people interested in simple doodles for stress relief sketchbooks. Or anybody new to this style.

This book is adorable! Kawaii kids and adults will love this doodle guide.

I loved this. It was so very easy and covered all of the basics. Some of the idea felt a bit contrived but the step by step was very clear and easily followed. I drew most of the kawaii characters and, although not an artist, they all came out looking adorable. It would have been nice for a few more complicated ones but I suppose that's where your imagination come sin. All in all adorable.

This book is super cute. For me, the fact that it is truly step-by-step is much appreciated though I know some people would find this book too simple because of it.

The cover of the book is a pretty fair representation of the types of things you'll learn to draw. There's room to draw your own (obviously on digital copies that's wasted space but I don't like drawing in books so I wouldn't use that space anyway).

The last few pages are a combination of find the hidden image and coloring book.

Overall, a bit basic, but so cute!

Growing in a family that is inclined very much towards arts and crafts, I have always believed I had to have a creative vein. Even when my several attempts on arts have proved otherwise, I hold on to the hope that some day I would find some art form that I might be good at. So I requested the book that promised to teach step by step instructions to draw these cutest doodles with the so much to lose. Yeah Kawaii literally means cute.

First of, the whole book was DAMN CUTE (I know I am overusing the term). The step by step instruction made it even for a craft challenged person to follow, though there were a few redundant steps. Hey who cares, they look adorable. The book teaches to draw day to day items like food and drinks, holiday things and even monsters. I personally loved the monsters (That doesn't mean I draw them any better).

The entire book may have been for a younger generation but that would not stop you (adult, I mean) from enjoying it all the same. This can surely be a great gift to young and adults alike. I can already think of at least 2-3 people who would enjoy this. I can't stop gushing over this overtly adorable book. Grab Kawaii Doodle Class already, I say.

This absolutely adorable book breaks down super-cute drawings into step by step easy doodles that even the least artistic among us can feel empowered to succeed at. Every page is increasingly cute, and the little faces looking out at me just cheered me to no end. Too many superlatives? It's hard to review this book without them, because this whole entire book is just too sweet. An excellent addition to any library's collection, especially if you have manga fans in your base (and who doesn't?). Appropriate even for younger audiences, but super fun through adult as well.

This is a very fun, well organized little book. Everyone here has covered how extensive it is, but I also liked the tips at the beginning that showed how you could personalize them by varying the placement of eyes and mouths. Perfect rainy day activity for kids and adults alike.

This book was way too simple. It reminds me of children's coloring books, those that come with activities and teach you how to draw simple things. But REALLY SIMPLE things. Since this was a "Doodle Class" I expected a more technical approach on how to make cute drawings. It would have been cool to get tips on how to choose color, line width, proportions, etc. Instead, it has 3 pages with Tips & Tricks like "use a mechanical pencil so you can erase your mistakes" or "add a face to make your drawing cute". I think most of those tips were too simple even for kids. 

Apart from the brief introduction to drawing doodles, this book is about 90% examples of doodles. It has a section of cute food with faces, another with cute nature with faces, or stationary with faces, and so on. I made some of those but I think my doodle skills didn't change after the exercises. At most, I might have I learned a bit about perspective while drawing the sushi with a face (though the book didn't explain anything about perspective, just tells you to copy the lines from the page). I think my favorite part of the book was the last section with some monster doodles. I thought those monsters were really cute and more original than just drawing food with faces. Also, at the very end it has some coloring pages and a couple of activities. (Too bad I have the ebook and not the printed version!)

 Overall, I thought the book was disappointing. It almost didn't offer advice on how to draw cute doodles, just shows hundreds of doodles and tells you to copy them line by line. For kids it might be entertaining (though it would be better if it had a blank space to doodle in the book), but I still think just telling people to copy a drawing is not the best teaching method.
