Review: Draw 62 Magical Creatures and Make Them Cute by Heegyum Kim
This book is a cartoon style drawing book in what seems a very typical "kids style" drawing book -- show a series of drawings each adding a bit more to the drawing. This is followed by a "Make Them Cute" section which shows variations on the creatures. And a small spot to try to draw one yourself.
The book covers a wide variety of mythological creatures. However very few of the many creatures included were ones which could easily be made "cute", they could more often be described as monsters. And the author did not pull off a miracle and manage to make the monsters the cute either. In fact, in my personal opinion, the author's style was not cute even for those creatures that one would expect to be cute -- but I see that naming structure apparently is part of the author's previous books as well (which I have not read so can't comment on cuteness factor). I would recommend this book for a child who is more into the more odd and monstrous mythological creatures rather than one that is interested in anything "cute".
