I originally got this for my 7 year old nephew who doesn’t have much drawing experience, but when I found that some of the small details were missing from the text descriptions I decided that it might be a step above his level.
I was going to return it, but the illustrations were so cute, I couldn’t help but try drawing this adorable Hydra.
After seeing how well it went for me, I decided to keep this one for myself, since its a little more advanced then I think my nephew can take right now.
*The bottom sketch in the photo was done primarily with just the text. (If the detail wasn’t mentioned in the text, I drew it in maroon/red. (Sorry the red is hard to differentiate.)
**Also, I took a few creative liberties.
Thanks for a fun art guide!

What a great book! I only wish that these type of books had been around when I was a kid.

My daughter really likes this book. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
She spends hours on drawing and coloring. Highly recommend!

I’m in my mid 30s and just revisiting the subject of drawing after not seriously participating in it as a hobby since childhood. I cannot overstate how much utter joy I felt using this book today for the very first time. This is SO much fun and so simple, yet not overly so. It won’t show you how to make each line, you’ll have to copy what you see in the steps from sight alone, and the book is a bit smaller than I anticipated, but still plenty big enough and, if you’re capable of extrapolating the proportions, a *wonderful* starting place for creativity. Personally I plan to do one of these characters every day until I’ve completed the entire book.
I loved the theme and idea of this book so much that I impulsively purchased another in the same series, for spooky chibis, and I’m SO glad I did. I’m now even tempted to grab the original in the series as well. Also, the book feels really high quality for a paperback. I was quite surprised by the thickness of the cover, back, and even the pages themselves. Super smooth to the touch and satisfying to flip through.
I reiterate: I haven’t drawn a darn thing since I was a teenager. After picking up this book and spending an hour or two at my desk, I made something I’m proud of, enjoyed making, and will excitedly look forward to adding to again and again. Is it perfect? No. But it doesn’t have to be and the mistakes are my own fault, not the book’s. If you’re interested in drawing cute things, this book/this series has you covered.

Lovely book. Would be great for kids who aren’t usually interested in art as well. It sets out the pictures and processes well. I’ve quite enjoyed it myself!
