Cute Chibi Mythical Beasts Magical Monsters by Phoebe Im
My Rating: ★★★★★
I received a copy from Rock Point through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am determined to read every book that Phoebe Im publishes because they are absolutely adorable on top of being fun. Plus, I’m a fan of their artwork and have been following them on Instagram for sometime now. Like their previous book, Cute Chibi Animals, it opens with a short introduction to who Phoebe is before defining chibi for readers. Then there’s a small section on tools one may need and some tips and tricks. I really like this part of the book because I think that there’s always something new to learn when a seasoned artist shares even the most simple tips and tricks to drawing!
Majority of the book is a series of step-by-step instructions on drawing various mythical creatures. I think that the drawings in this book are more complex than the ones featured in the previous book, which is great because it takes people following their drawing books on a journey into more complex drawings. Yes, these are chibi mythical beasts and monsters, but the overall shapes and combinations are more complex and provide more of a challenge on the drawing journey for people learning to draw. I really like that this is the case, but I also don’t think it’s too challenging. I would say that this book is good for middle schoolers and older elementary school kids so that younger kids won’t get too frustrated trying to keep up with some of the more complex drawings introduced.
