Kawaii Instructional Drawing Book

This charming and accessible guide to Kawaii drawing presents step-by-step exercises that anyone can master. 'Kawaii'—meaning 'cute' in Japanese—refers to a delightful and widely adored range of drawing styles that have captured the hearts of Western audiences.

Annelore Parot, a seasoned illustrator and art teacher, brings her own distinctive take on the style, focusing on endearing objects, inviting places, and expressive characters. Responding to frequent requests from her fans for a guide to drawing Japan and its cultural elements, Parot created this book as both a tutorial and a visual journey. She travelled throughout Japan to carefully select inspiring subjects, encouraging readers to explore architecture, movement, and key aspects of Japanese culture.

The book includes a variety of themes—from traditional myths and animals to everyday foods—offering a rich and playful introduction to the art of Kawaii.
