A straight-forward "how to draw" book that doesn't insult the reader... I appreciate that. I got an ebook from NetGalley and downloaded it to my phone, then mirrored my screen to my TV, so I could draw with my kids. My 13-year old had fun, my 7-year old had a blast, and my 5-year old followed along just fine trying her best. They loved it, and I liked that every single line wasn't planned; a simple shape is shown and you can draw/copy however you want. Different versions of each image are shown in different postures, moods, colors, to give ideas, which is a great idea.
I got this book and "Draw 62 Things in Nature and Make them Cute", both excellent books for a beginning artist or child.

Draw 62 Characters and Make Them Cute is a step by step guide for learning to draw cartoon style characters. It is aimed at doodlers, beginner artists, and cartoonists. I think it is perfect for children too as the characters will definitely appeal to them. The steps are easy to follow and the drawings can easily be adapted to suit your own style. The book will give you lots of ideas for developing your own cartoon characters based on animals or people.

Thank you to NetGalley ad the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

I love Heegyum Kim's books. This is another adorable collection on how to draw cute characters. Like her book on drawing animals, some experience would be best as the first steps are pretty detailed (I'm thinking like an elementary teacher here, so likely kids around 10 could manage). This would be a fabulous resource to have in the classroom or to gift to a child who would like to create their own comics or graphic novels. I know in a couple of year this will be the perfect book for my own daughter.

Fun and fantastic drawing book! I have no drawing talent at all and I tried to take the direction of a couple of the animals and showed them to a friend who can freehand Women’s patterns! She said that I did fairly good for never having any instruction before and that is high praise from her and she is not free with her accolades!

I loved the various animals and the use of colors and the funny pictures as well. I know my granddaughter who is ten will enjoy this book which I intend to purchase for one of her Christmas gifts!

I definitely would recommend this book for a beginner artist or even an advanced artist!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

I love all of Kim's books and this one was no different. It's filled with funny little characters to draw like Alfred the Alien, Walter the Whale, Baby Jessie, Farmer Jebidiah, Lex the Lumberjack, and dozens more. Most are animals, others are people. They are easy to draw and there are variations shown in the "make them cute" side of the spread, though they're all pretty cute to begin with. This is not my favorite Kim book (her first one, the animal one, is my favorite but also the magical creatures one) but it's still a fun one. As always, highly recommended.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Lots of figures to draw here, and beginners can participate as well as experienced artists, with figures made easier. I love this book, and having reciieved a free copy from netgalley has not influnced my opinions. And yes, the characters are cute, as well.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

This book is adorable! It’s perfect for my artsy niece. I loved how simple it was even for me (non-artistic) to create a not so cute version of the drawings. I’m sure with more practice I would be able to succeed.

Draw 62 Characters and Make Them Cute by Haegyum Kim details step by step drawings for adorable figures and personalities.

The designs in this book seem easy to follow and have cleverly named titles for all the drawings such as Argo the wandering astronaut, Izzy the ice cream maker, and Cyrus the cyclops. I would recommend this book for beginner artists.

This book is a visual reference for drawing a variety of 62 cartoon characters, from different types of people to animals. The step-by-step instructions were really neat. I wish the book went a little further as the content is limited to only those instructions. I think kids will love going through the book and drawing each character. Overall, a pretty cool book for those looking to learn how to draw new characters!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
