Very cute and instructions are easy to follow!

Thanks for the opportunity to honestly review this.

I really enjoyed reading this book and i definitely learnt a lot about drawing different kinds of snacks, desserts, drinks and other food.
This book shows tips on how to draw different types of snacks and coloring the food.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in drawing food and can be done by beginners as well.
This is the best activity to enjoy and have fun.
I would like to thank the author and net galley for the arc.

An adorable book filled with the cutest little doodles! I'm so excited to learn how to draw all of them.

Such a great book!

The instructions are easy to read and I could sketch some of this doodles while I was reading.
I enjoyed it a lot as my nieces and nephews.

I love books like this. They are easy to follow and help you draw the cutest images. I have a couple other books in this style, but they did not have the food aspect. It was such a fun idea to have all the meals in the Kawaii style. Loved it!

This was so fun and cute. The instructions are so easy to follow. I enjoyed the cute fun doodles. All I have to do now is practice some more and they will be perfect. I recommend this for kids and adults. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was the perfect introduction to "kawaii" art and I would absolutely recommend it to the patrons at the library liking for cute things to draw! I enjoyed how easy the steps were to follow and I look forward to working out of this book more!

I think the book is adorable and great for learning to drW cute doodles. I will say if for the younger crowd it may be a bit tough. But drawing is all about practicing. Think overall, anyone at any skill level would enjoy this Kawaii Doodle book.

A super cute drawing book for beginners. Lots of fun food based items for the budding artist to try out.

The book goes through a surprisingly comprehensive set of food drawings! It goes through each food in 4-6 steps - you draw basic shapes and rub out the bits you don't need. Watch out for the sections - cutlery and basic (and not-so-basic) fruit are covered at the end of the book!

I requested this because I wanted to learn to draw cute things - sadly I don't think my drawing skills are ready. Although the steps are logical, there's no explanation of shading - so you'll need some knowledge of shading, especially as the shapes get more complicated.

I'd say it's a book for a younger artist who already has knowledge, but wants to focus on café food rather than someone with basic or advanced drawing skills.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Very cute little book from an illustrator whose art I absolutely love.

There are a lot of drawings to take inspiration from in this book, and it is nice to see the different steps.

Enjoyed doodling along with this book. Great instructions and adorable doodles! I loved all the different little foods and the characters were adorable.

The illustrations in this book are soo cute! I've seen Faith Varvara's art on social media so I was pleasantly surprised to see this tutorial style book! Faith Varvara has crafted really easy to follow along steps to create adorable styled sweet and savory foods. I'm looking forward to decorating some postcards with this cute art! And I'm curious about the other books in the Kawaii Doodle series.

This is a great guide on how to create adorable kawaii dessert drawings. From how to draw cute cakes and pastries to coffees and teas, it makes for creative and sweet drawings.

Thank you so much to the publisher to read and review this book. This book is one that I feel is great for drawing simple but cute items especially food. It was also divided into 4 or 5 different steps that were easy to understand which I also appreciated. I highly recommend. 4 out of 5 stars.

Easy to follow instructions. Love the color pages at the end. Even some of mine looked like art.

4 stars

This book is great if you want easy to follow instruction on how to draw super cute food.
These doodles are great if you want to make a cafe themed journal and have no experience with drawing, which make this book great for adults, as well as kids, keeping the entertained for quite some time

This is a very cute instruction book for doodling. Fun fact about me: I have a whole notebook full of doodles and this book was just exactly what I needed. If you find joy in doodling, then this book is definitely for you.
Thank you NetGalley for the advance reader copy. It came at the perfect time.

Useful but with some improvable things.

The cute, well-presented, and thoughtful "Kawaii Doogle Café by artist Faith Varvara is a good book to learn some basic ways of drawing desserts, foods, and drinks.
The book opens with a nice presentation from the artist and some tips to keep in mind while creating your art. Then the drawing lessons get divided into eight sections... which is a LOT and in each section you get also a bunch of items to draw yourself!

But here is the thing, this was one of my main issues. I felt like the format of the book was sometimes too rigid in its structure.
For example, we get the tableware section from pages 121 to 133. In there, we learn a basic way to draw glasses but on page 42 (Cakes, Pies & Desserts) we have the Panna Cotta tutorial, which uses that same glass design we learn later on. The first step we have is "Start by drawing de Glass (page 127)", so you have to flip towards the end of the book and then back for a design that it's quite simple on itself (you only have to draw some basic lines to create de dessert inside the other item....).
Wouldn't be better to bend the structure in order of usefulness and coherence?

This topic brings me to my next issue: The art felt a little stale on the tutorials.
Yeah, Varvara's art is cute and full of life, but it didn't translate so well to the step-by-step lessons. The creation itself without the coloring result seems to lack life. And that's something I experienced with my approach to these lessons too. My results would be okay but boring, at least until I get some watercolor brushes and get creative.

My last issue was de coloring pages and their uncreative approach: The final pages have some coloring doddles we learn through the book, but they are not presented in any artistic way or even different way from before.
I would have loved for Varvara to use those pages to show us the full potential of the little lessons we have learned and inspire us to create our own compositions.

Now, I may say too that this book it's still a good reference for those who want to learn to draw various foods in a simplistic and cute style, and that one of its strongest features is that it offers a great variety of lessons to follow.
