Cute Chibi Mythical Beasts & Magical Monsters: Learn How to Draw Over 60 Enchanting Creatures (Volume 5)

I bought this for myself, so I could learn how to draw cute dragons, obvs, and I find my kids constantly taking the book! I find it all over my house; sometimes they are just flipping through it for fun, reading the descriptions of each creature. I also get the joy of sharing mythology with them now, because they want to know more about the creatures found in the book!

This book is so cute with the fun facts and the wide range of monster types and body styles available. It’s a great starting point for designing your own style. I initially purchased this because I love how the artist draws puffy luxurious fur, and while the Chibi animal book is great, it doesn’t quite have the diversity in animal parts that this one does, and how to connect them.A definite benefit to this drawing book is that it never tells you to “just finish the owl”. Each step is easily replicable even for people like me who are very out of practice, and the style is easy to remix into your own preferences. The Top mothman is done following the tutorial, and the bottom is my first attempt at putting my own spin on it. And the subject matter makes practicing so fun! The only (minor) complaint I have is on eyes. A lot of creatures are drawn with closed eyes, which feels a little lazy to me. You will need to supplement with other books if you want to get good at giving your monsters open eyes.I usually hate the style in how to draw books, but this one is stinking cute from the first page to the last. Amazing work!

I bought this my arty 12 year old for her birthday and she absolutely loved it.It’s super cute and has loads of different creatures to draw. Nice step by step guild on how to build up the drawing in stages and a cute little “about” section for the creature.Good quality paper/book, well made and well thought out. Would recommend 👍🏻

Es un libro muy bonito dónde se dan explicaciones detalladas para dibujar "chibis" de animales y monstruos de la mitología.En cuanto a la entrega, ha llegado a tiempo, la entrega ha sido respetuosa y el libro está en perfectas condiciones.

I've been an artist for many years. This book is really well made and simplistic, that my kids are able to understand and try drawing all the cute fun creatures themselves. My daughter ended up requesting I "draw" a bunch of different ones on her birthday cake, and she loved it! Thank you for such a well made book !
