How to Draw a Mermaid and Other Cute Creatures
By Lulu Mayo
I’ve been reading all the kawaii style and cute character drawing books in the library because I want to learn to draw cute things.
This book has very easy to follow instructions with pictures to help you draw. The drawings you create are very simple, so they are great if you are learning how to draw characters because there is not too much detail.
I loved drawing and colouring a cute narwhal, mermaids, and even purrmaids. These are super adorable cat mermaids! There is also a section of the book where you learn to combine 2 different types of animals, like a raccoon and unicorn -- a raccoonicorn! And a lion with a donut for a main. And Bunnycorns are super adorable. The book really encourages you to be creative and create your own magical animal characters.
