I received a copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been a following Phoebe on Instagram for a while now, so I decided to check out her book and see what she had to say about drawing chibi animals. The opening is a small introduction to Pheobe and what chibi artwork is before diving in. I really liked her tips and tricks section. I like to draw and got into drawing digitally last year. While I’m not the best at drawing, I think it’s fun and relaxing. Her tips and tricks section did give me a great tip about inking lines. Using lines of varying thickness when drawing really does make a difference. It’s help bring my digital drawings more to life now that they’re not aesthetically flat thanks to my line work.
While the section on coloring is very small, I do think her advice on coloring in your work is simple but great for anyone new to drawing. It’s not complex and those extremely new to drawing and using this book to get them started may not find it that helpful, there’s enough information to make people less afraid about just diving in and coloring their drawings in.
Majority of the book is a step-by-step guide on how to draw many adorable chibi animals. They are separated by the type of animal, such as birds, sea life, and so on, so it’s easy to navigate when not using the table of contents to find a particular animal. I think it’s a great book to give people new to drawing, or anyone looking to enhance their skills a bit, some information on how to sketch out and create guides for shapes when drawing.
