I received this book from NetGalley for this review. I was under no obligation to give a positive review. All opinions are on my own. I am disclosing this per the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

A book filled with simple instructions with how to draw cute chibi-esk birds. From simple to complicated there are step by step instructions for a variety of birds. they also give tips on how to draw birds that are not even shown with examples of different beaks and feet. Also included is how to draw them doing mundane things to silly actions.

I'm obsessed with step by step drawing books right now! I'm terrible at free hand drawing but always feel so accomplished when I can draw something from a book so I love these "how to" books. The birds are ADORABLE and so much fun to draw. Definitely recommend for fans of step by step drawing and anyone that loves birds.
Great for beginners too because I am definitely not a skilled artist.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.

The birds are pretty cute, and the directions are simple. Only a couple of the birds didn't look like they fit in, but the graphics might just be off since this is a review copy. This also included a little bit of actual bird information, which I thought was nice. A lot of different birds are pictured, and options for accessories for the birds are also included.

Kawaii birdies is a very fun book that teaches you to draw a variety of birds that may piCAW your interest. It’s a nice way to destress and a fun activity to do with friends. All of the birds were very kawaii and felt easy to draw for someone that isn’t an artist. The instructions are very clear and concise. I liked the funny birds that were in different poses, like the bird hiding in a person’s sleeve. Overall, a great drawing book for beginners!

This is such a fun book for all ages! It has adorable birds that you learn how to draw, and it is easy to follow. Great book if you are trying to get better at your doodling/drawing skills.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this arc.

Kawaii Birdies : Learn to Draw 80 Adorable Feathered Friends. This is a super cute book full of all types of birdies. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the book can be used by just about anyone from children to doodlers of all ages. I liked the way the book was structured and examples of the birdies in colour really brought life to the book. excellent bit of fun.

Kawaii Birds is just as cute as the other Kawaii animal/creature books. Better be with Kawaii as the name if it. Lots of of meme bird poses too.

A really quirky and fun drawing book with every themed bird you can imagine. My daughter who is almost 10 has been having a great time drawing cupcake birdie, ice cream birdie, camping birdie and many more. The step-by-step guide is just about manageable for my daughter, younger children may find it harder to copy. A delightful read.

Simple. Doable. Adorable.
I already doodle while notetaking, but now my notes are about to be covered in birdies.
Buying a personal copy and one for the library. Kids and adults will love this one.

These birds are the cutest! I had a great time drawling them with my daughters. The directions were easy to follow even for me, and I am NOT an artist! I would recommend this any one who loves to draw cute things.

I love this book! It's a good guide to learn how to draw several different kawaii birds. It gives some good instructions about how to draw it. There even is a chapter about how to draw the birds while doing several activities. Overall very cute!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of "Kawaii Birdies" by Jen Budrock. I requested this for my daughter because she is an avid drawer and also loves anime/Japanese-style animation. She had an absolute blast looking through the book and picking different kawaii birds to draw. I know this is going to keep her entertained for many hours! It is a truly stunning book and I appreciate the opportunity to review.

Absolutely a delight! Everything you could want from a how-to draw Kawaii book. Simple to follow, very inspiring and perfect illustrations! This will be a hit with fans of doodling, manga drawing and, of course, all things cute.

This book is very well done. The instructions were clear, and easy to follow. I thought the key at the front was particularly easy to use and really helpful. I also liked a lot that this book referenced both digital and paper/pencil drawing methods and gave helpful tips for both.

The birds are all super cute, and there is a great variety of them, too. I enjoyed that they were grouped together to include not just different types of birds, but you also had birds doing different things, birds in various poses. A lot of birds! I'm really excited to use the techniques and birds I learned in this book in my journaling, which is why I grabbed this book in the first place. Super pleased and super fun!

Super cute, the title did not lie. I will enjoy working through this book so that I can have some fun with my doodling and I'm hoping when paint birds they loom cuter too.

The bird is the word? No, the bird is the illustration. This book has so many positively delightful little birdies to draw and doodle. Some are shy birds who prefer gaming (maybe Angry Birds?) and some are self-love birds who like to hot tub (and may be spilling the tea!). There are basic blue birds and exotic pink birds. The directions are easy to follow and it doesn’t have to be perfect to still be cute. So if you’re drawing together as a flock or alone as an empty nester, you won’t be disappointed with the options within.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I’m having so much fun working through the tutorials in this book! All of the birds are super cute and I love how there are tutorials that would work with various skill levels, so a beginner like me doesn’t feel intimidated. I’ve really been leaning into checking out drawing books this year and I can’t wait to get my own copy of this one!

absolutely adorable birds and very easy to follow tutorial for me (38) and my kid (7)! a gorgeous range of poses and activities, a wonderful tutorial section including wing anatomy, bird type, and facial expressions

Book that brings you fun. If you want to learn how to draw but don’t know where to start - this book will teach you, in approachable way, how to do it. Fun and simple, colourful and imaginative. Worth your time. For children, teens and adults. Why not?!
