Recently smiiliimoon, on YouTube, asked me how to draw Kawaii. What is Kawaii (pronounced a bit like Hawaii) ? Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute but it has also come to mean a soft cute style of illustration too.
Many have asked me to draw this before. I thought maybe it was a bit childish, but then I realised that when I went to Japan, Kawaii is just about all I bought as gifts and souvenirs! I’m beginning to see it as a serious art form… crazy but serious!
So, as it is Easter this weekend, I thought I would draw an egg and turn it into a Cute Kawaii Easter Chick. I hope you like it. If you do, let me know as I’ve now got all sorts of ideas going round in my head.. What would you like me to turn into Kawaii?

Here are three new videos to help you draw stuff for Easter. Eight different egg designs, a “happy Easter” lettering design and and simple easter Egg design which will be in this afternoon’s Easter Egg competition on The Shoo Rayner Drawing Show.
Draw this gorgeous basket of Easter decorated eggs and put it on a card or a poster to give you something to do while you are waiting for the real chocolate thing!
Easter’s nearly here and of course you want to know how to draw an Easter Egg. So here’s a lesson to show you how. I thought long and hard about the bow and tried to make it as easy as possible while making it look as realistic as possible. The knot isn’t really like that, but if you try to draw it accurately, it usually ends up a real mess. This is what we call Artistic Licence! Enjoy!
