A cute book describing how to create your own stylised kittens in the style of Japanese. The guide provides step-by-step guides for drawing cats in different poses.

I enjoyed reading through this instruction books. The first section talks about tools and the basic strokes you will need and it even gave you a place to practice.
The rest of the book talks you through creating a variety of cats that are so cute. I love the "comic" and quotes in between sections.
I would definitely recommend.

Very helpful guide to drawing cute cats. Book is really useful, it has a good advice and lots of periodical tactics how to draw.
It has lots of different types of cats and drawing is explained line by line.
I'm not an artistic type, but they came out really cute.
Thank you so much for this guide!

Most of this book consists of step-by-step instructions, but the author provides a short foundation for cat shapes, which makes it all the better. There is also a page with cat expressions, giving you everything you need to create your own kawaii kitties. There is also a chapter on different cats and their types of fur.
Overall, a cute short book!

I have to confess that I am a cat lover and as soon as I saw this book I said "I must read it" but I did not expect that it was a guide to be able to draw super cute kittens since I had chosen it without reading the synopsis but even so I entered Let's see what roll with this book and I have to tell you that I liked it.

The book despite being short and very clear, that is, it is in a few words like a guide to draw super kawai kittens that are chubby and with expressions that will leave them melting and it is that despite containing a series of steps to achieve the drawing is very exact the way it is explained and the use of words are simple and very precise. This super cute book is originally in the English language but uses a super basic level English and I think that any reader who likes to draw or kawai animals will love it.

One point that I think should be strengthened about this book is to use a little more variety of drawings because what I was observing is that they only teach how to draw the most basic expressions or movements, such as a kitten eating a fish or lying on its mouth down; I say it is not bad that they have added them but I believe and think that they should have added more to have a more diverse and very, very varied panorama of the drawings. What I did notice and I loved is that each drawing he shows you to do is about a different kitten, they give us different colors, breeds, sizes, adding fluffiness to this. Well, I can only say that if you love drawing and cats, this book is for you.

This book is just adorable. I can see a primary audience being fans of Yong's artwork, or Kawaii in general, but it also has a great potential to appeal to readers like me who did not know about Yong and simply were attracted to the book based on the cover and description. The instructions are well done, with examples and text explaining each step. Although this is very different than my own art style, I was inspired to draw these for my students to bring more fun to their grading sheets.

This is a great book that takes you through step by step on how to draw Kawaii Kitties. I had not heard of the author before but I now follow her on social media. I have attempted to use her techniques with some success and considering I am not at all "arty" this is a compliment to the way the book takes you through the process step by step. Highly recommended for artists and non artists alike.

Very cute book. Lots of step by step tutorials that won't leave you hanging. There is also a lot of room for inspiration in this book.

This is a great book for those starting out or wanting to improve their drawing skills. With these wonderful step by step guides anyone can draw these cute little kittens giving them sweet characteristics that animate your pictures.

Cute, short book that shows you how to draw lovely "chonky" bean-shaped cats. It's true - they're Kawaii Kitties. Not a lot in terms of different styles of cats (although Yong does cover some varied breeds) but if you want to learn how to draw a cute angel kitty or a kitty in a cappuccino mug, this is it.

I expected to like this drawing book more than I actually did. I love the cover, but the inside is just lots and lots of step by step drawings of what mostly looks like the same fat cat blob in slightly different poses and with different coloring.

The cats all have mostly the same shape and faces. The faces are a little weird to me. For some reason they all have two dots over their eyes and no whiskers. A lot of the cats honestly looked more like hamsters to me. I would have loved more variety in them since IRL cats really do come in all kinds of shapes and sizes (I guess for kawaii they have to just be round?). There's only so many ways you can draw mostly identical cats so there are chapters of things like cats in animal costumes or with a tie and a briefcase. I guess I just don't need to draw that many shapeless cats cheerleading or with fish tails.

I did appreciate the chapter on other breeds so there was finally some difference in them, but the drawings are just here's this part of this wavy shape you draw, and then you do this wavy shape, and then you do the face. Shrug. It's okay, but you could easily just look at the cover and follow the basic shapes to do it all on your own.

There are other books that have been a much better fit for me personally, but I seem to be in the minority so obviously it's the right fit for many. It's still a very nice book, three stars for me, for I liked it.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

My goodness this book is so so cute. I had such a big smile on my face when I was flipping through this. I'm currently in the process of doing an illustration for my sister-in-law who just bought a new house. It'll be a housewarming gift for her and her boyfriend and they have two cats. I'll be referencing this book for sure! I'm so excited, and I love Olive Yong's work. Definitely a must-have for anyone who likes to doodle or loves cats!

This was such a delight! Easy to follow step-by-step drawings of 75 'Kawaii Kitties', the illustrations and descriptions are so cute too. This would make any cat-lover happy, a fun gift for drawers!

Kawaii is a style of art that is adorable and endearing, whatever its subject. That said, those who love cats are certain to enjoy this title. It features felines at play, being curious, eating and more. Those who spend time with this book will learn how to draw many delightful cats. Each of them, as for example, the observer or the runner is broken down into easy to follow steps for making one’s own drawing. The book even includes a couple coloring pages at the end. Plus, I enjoyed the cartoons. All in all, a great resource for cat doodlers.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This is a book with step-by-step tutorials on how to draw the adorable, extremely cute cats by Olive Young, who has an adorable comic series called Bichi Mao on Tapas. The drawings are so sweet and wholesome that they really inspire you to try drawing the 'Kawaii' style cats.

I am following Bichi Mao for so long and can’t remember since when. I just realised that the creator of Bichi Mao is a Malaysian and it’s surprising me a lot. I want to tell you that I am proud of her.

This book is cute and it teaches us how to draw a Kawaii Kitties.

It’s suitable for any level of age, especially to the kids and cats lover.

I recommend to read this book while you at a free time and seeing so many forms of kitties shape you can draw coz they are flexible 😂

I am enjoying this book. Thank you Netgalley for approving my request for this book as an exchange with an honest review.

Fantastic little book, amazingly cute characters, really helpful hints and tips to help you learn. Each page draws you in and makes you want to keep turning pages, great guide. Adorable

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A simple and fun how too book, perfect for those who love art and drawing.
These cute kitty guides are easy to follow and the results are brilliant- this book is great for beginners as well as those with more advanced drawing skills.
Highly recommended

This would be the perfect gift for someone who loves to draw and loves cats. The cats are adorable and the instructions are very detailed and seem easy to follow. There is also a lot of variety in the cats themselves. Kawaii means cute in Japanese and that is exactly what you get.

Kawaii Kitties is as cute as it is useful! I downloaded the ebook version of this book and my 12 and 13 year old daughters and I adored it, both for learning to draw Kawaii style cats and just for reading and enjoying the cuteness and humour. I especially loved the Bon Appétit chapter which contains delicacies like kitty macaron, corn cat and catuccino! It has step by step instructions that make it easy for even left-brained people like me to learn to draw. I asked my daughters if they would like to buy a hard copy of this book once it's released and they gave me an enthusiastic YES! We would also like to check out some of Olive Yong's other books.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for allowing me to read a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
