Books for the creative mind 🎨💙

These books are so cute! I am trying to pick up art as a new hobby, and these books are perfect. They are beginner friendly and easy to follow. I love how you don’t need fancy tools to recreate the drawings 🐱 I posted these on my stories a few days ago and got a lot of DMs asking for them, so I thought I’ll share them here.
