Product Information

Like building a visual vocabulary of images, storytelling is an on-going practice. I will start simple and build on it. Month 6 Join our Kawaiian community on Facebook to see many versions of these drawings as #Redraw and to share yours. 🙂 I’ve created this step-by-step drawing tutorial for a cute unicorn to break down the drawing steps into manageable chunks, so even a complete beginner can follow them and create a drawing that looks good. And here is another version to welcome the sunshine and warm weather. I had so much fun doing the lettering and the cute doodles!

Focus on the big shapes first. For example, in step 1 all we are doing is drawing 2 egg-shaped objects. Don’t think of them as “head” or “body”. Just focus on drawing 2 eggs. Trust me, it will work! Let’s draw a cute POPSICLE! I used watercolor wash to create this cutie. I really love how the colors mix and run on wet paper and “do their own thing”. 🙂 No two popsicles come out the same! Let’s draw a kawaii mushroom for this week. Did you know that the largest living organism on our planet is a mushroom?!! It’s in Oregon, USA and it coves almost 4 square miles. Amazing!To create a kawaii drawing, start by thinking of your favorite kawaii thing as your subject. There is no limit to the possible subjects you can draw, but a few of our favorite ones are daily items such as food, animals, and objects. After the tutorial, I will share with you a few drawing tips to make sure your drawing comes out the best it can be. See you there!

Kawaii drawing is easy. If you’ve ever tried to draw a kitty or a pony, kawaii drawing will be as simple as child’s play. There is no definite appearance or features for kawaii things. It changes based on the person who views something as kawaii. However, general features and characteristics are associated with cute things, such as faces with big round eyes, small noses, and small bodies with large heads. Who doesn’t love a friendly pup? This drawing of a friendly dog is perfect for all skill sets. Plus, it won’t take long to create, but it looks incredible when you’re done. 13. Momma and Baby Alligators Credit: @lilypawstudio | Ko-fi Frog drawings make a fun drawing topic, and they are so popular right now! 😉 Here is my version of a kawaii frog drawing. There are many inspirations around that can help you make your own kawaii character. These are kawaii versions of non-kawaii figures. They are usually cheerful-looking creatures with large eyes and small noses, making them attractive. Even though kawaii characters all follow very similar features, their visual structure can vary a lot since there are tons of other kawaii characters that aren’t based on real animals but more on abstract concepts like rainbows or stars so on.I’ve concluded that the most important skills to practice are“pen skills”. If I can master the foundational skills of drawing straight lines and (almost) perfect circles, I could then focus on memorising many kinds of faces etc. But I wouldn’t be stressed about my lines looking shaky and uneven. To help remember the steps, Tim suggests an acronym DiSSS (ignore the “i”): Deconstruct, Select, Sequence, Stakes.

As you can see, it’s a large and unfocused list. All over the place! But that’s ok, next step is selecting the skills that matter. SelectWhen it comes to drawing faces, you'll use two dots for the eyes and a semicircle for the mouth, all of which lie roughly at the same level on the face. For a great handmade gift, include this quote beneath your drawing, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” -Vivian Greene. 31.
