This is a fantastic guide to creating kawaii inspired artwork, filled with expert advice and easy-to-follow exercises. Since its emergence in the 1970s, kawaii - which is characterised by simple rounded structures and geometric shapes finished with solid colours, pastel tones, and thick lines - has become a highly valued and popular aesthetic quality in every aspect of Japanese society - pop-stars and government departments alike have official Kawaii mascots. Filled with full-colour illustrations, expert hints and tips, and exercises, "Manga Master Class: Kawaii" presents readers with an easy-to-follow guide to creating their very own manga inspired artwork, from conception through to the finishing touches.
