This book is a great way to learn how to create Japanese Kawaii art, defined as simple, youthful characters that are drawn with black lines and rounded features. Malaysian self-taught artist Yong follows up her 2021 title Kawaii Kitties with this perfect companion. Readers do not have to be dog lovers to appreciate the author’s many tips, tricks, and techniques to illustrate numerous facial and rounded features of sweet, cute pups of most breeds.
VERDICT This book is as much fun to read as it is instructive. Recommended for public libraries that serve beginner and experienced doodlers and illustrators, along with general readers interested in this adorable art form.
