Draw 62 Things in Nature and Make Them Cute is a new volume in the Draw 62 Things series - this one is by Heegyum Kim. Released 3rd Nov 2020 by Quarto on their Quarry imprint, it's 128 pages and available in paperback format.
This is an appealing book filled with simple tutorials for drawing nature inspired anthropomorphic creatures - fruit characters, leaves, cartoonish birds, clouds, leaves, flowers, bugs, and more.
The tutorials and techniques are suited to
beginning artists. There are
step by step tutorials for 62 beings with different
variations and poses for each one. There is a 'you try it' balloon on
each page for reader drawings.
This would make a great gift for would-be artists of all ages. The
included tutorials are varied and eclectic. There is no introductory technique or materials
instruction; the book just includes
the 62 tutorials. There is a complete table of contents, so locating
individual ones shouldn't be problematic. They're slanted
toward line drawings, though colored pens, crayons, and watercolors
could certainly be used to enhance the drawings.
Cute book, accessible for everyone.
Four and a half stars, rounded up for the bugs - the rhino beetle is adorable and really appealed to me for some reason. He keeps popping up on my notes, my planner, rocks I paint, the chalkboard in my lab, everywhere.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
