Anyone interested in drawing adorable cats would love this cute book! It is easy to follow, and the cats are so cute that they make you draw more! I think this would make a great gift.

This book is a great guide to drawing felines in the Kawaii style. There are step by step directions to 75 adorable illustrations of cats in various poses and settings.
It's easy to follow each step, even if you're a beginner at drawing.
I doodled a few on paper and loved how they turned out, and am looking forward to drawing some on my iPad as well.
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Review to come January 18th on blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just love cats, I just love kawaii, I just love drawing. Or well, I used to draw a lot. But these days a bit less as I just got other hobbies. But whenever I see a book like this? I just cannot resist and have to get it.

This one shows you how to draw 75 kitties! From Catgo (dango kitty) to The Foodie to The Lucky Cat to The Chewer. There are many adorable and cute cats and I was regularly aww-ing and oooh-ing and laughing as well because some of these kitties were doing some funny things. I loved the variety in all the kitties. The author/artist really did an amazing job.
The book is separated into themes, we first begin with basics (facial expressions and colourings and more) and then follow various themes like food, playtime, etc.. I loved that each theme had a cute cat comic/illustration!

The drawing instructions are very easy to follow. Easy little steps.

I love the kitty colouring pages at the end! Definitely want to print that one out and get colouring.

All in all, this was just tons of fun. I haven't tried to draw kitties yet, as I just don't have any drawing paper around, but as soon as I do I have a couple of kitties I want to revisit and draw. Or try to. :P I would definitely recommend it to all the cat lovers and/or all those who like to draw some cuties.

A very, very kawaii guide to drawing the most adorable little kitties in the entire world. Books like these make me wish I had some drawing abilities, and, with the directions in this book I managed to draw an OK kawaii kitty...it's nowhere near as good as any of the examples in this book, but still! You, too, can draw a kawaii kitty!

I think this book is FANTASTIC! I love all the kawaii cats. I actually ended up using some of these tutorials to make some holiday cards and stickers for my family and my students. I think the tutorials are fantastic and there are so many cute facial expressions/accessories/and positions that the book explores. I will be using this book for a lot of projects coming up

These cats are all so cute, and the directions for drawing them are simple and easy to follow. I can’t wait to attempt to draw these for my daughter!

Kawaii Kitties: Learn How to Draw 75 Cats in All Their Glory by Olive Yong is such a fun book!! I love how it’s all broken down step by step line by line how to draw each of these cute cats. All the different cat illustrations are great and some are really unique such as a burger cat! Right away as soon as I looked in the book I got my pen and started drawing some cats. I drew a fat mad cat and it turned out pretty good for my fists attempt. I’m excited to continue using this book and draw some more cats!

Kawaii Kitties is just as cute as its name suggests. This book is beautifully presented and features a huge range of cute cats, each broken down step-by-step so you can draw them yourself. The range of expressions is fun, and there are even some pre-drawn cats at the back for you to colour. This is a great book for the artistic cat lover, whether you are looking to decorate your bullet journal, draw handmade greetings cards, or simply sketch your favourite animal for fun.
