ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Cute Popcorn

This is a very funny and cute drawing — kittens 'hiding' in a bucket of popcorn. This art combines love for animals and humor, and it's also perfect for practicing drawing characters in the 'kawaii' style. Such illustrations are often used in merchandise (notebooks, stickers, mugs) as they evoke positive emotions.
