Every year it's a huge hit!

This is our “How to Draw Cute Zodiac Animals” course, released just in time for the New Year's card season.

This course is a correspondence program you can learn through videos and text.

You can enjoy learning from the comfort of your own home.

Using pastels, you'll learn to draw multiple patterns of zodiac animals easily and enjoyably.

Create your own original pastel art for the background, add some text, and you'll have a one-of-a-kind original New Year's card or an art piece perfect for decorating your home during the New Year.

What kind of year will next year be? What kind of year do you want it to be?

Please spend some heartwarming time reflecting on these thoughts.

Furthermore, this course features a simple and cute design that makes lessons easy to follow, making it recommended for instructors and those looking to take on new challenges.

Please use this course to help you achieve the future you envision.

① Learn to draw cute horses easily

Discover how to draw 5 designs (7 variations including different sizes) of adorable horses.

From simple designs perfect for beginners and children to slightly more detailed ones, choose the style that suits your needs.

Experience the joy of creating art step by step. Feel the satisfaction and delight of bringing your own cute horses to life.

②Fewer stencils and steps

I created this course through trial and error, focusing on making designs simple and cute even with fewer stencils and steps.

Each design takes 15 to 45 minutes to complete.

While some designs are easy enough for beginners or children to draw with confidence, others are a bit more detailed and require some skill.

For those with no prior experience, we recommend starting with the introductory course to learn the basics before attempting these designs.

The content of this course is easy to teach, making it suitable for those new to teaching lessons, as well as for established instructors looking for fresh ideas to offer their students.

③Includes cute brush-script character samples

To help you create original New Year's cards, we've included character samples suitable for New Year's greetings in the textbook.

Practice by tracing the sample characters, imitate them while looking at the examples, or add your own unique touches and ideas. We hope this aids you in creating original works.

④Create original works infinitely

The charm of this program comes from creating your own original artwork by adding your own pastel art or brush calligraphy to the background of the piece.

Why not try drawing the pastel art you learned this year?

Original art can't be created without the chance to actually try drawing it yourself.

Please take this opportunity to experience the joy of creating something entirely your own.

You're sure to discover something new.

④ Tips for creating original works

That said, I understand some of you may not feel confident drawing your own original backgrounds.

For those of you, I've included some very simple tips for drawing backgrounds and a few customization examples in the text.

I've also included versions where the horse is drawn in different colors.

I'll continue sharing works created on Instagram, so please use them as inspiration for your own creations.

⑤Perfectly complements the designs from the Pastel Wagara Asobi Course

Those who have completed the Pastel Wagara Asobi Course can also draw the designs they learned as backgrounds.

The combination of zodiac animals and Japanese patterns is a perfect match. You can easily create New Year's cards with this too.

If you'd like to try drawing Japanese patterns as backgrounds, please consider taking the Pastel Wagara Asobi Course or the Pastel Wagara Asobi Advance Course. We kindly ask that those who have not taken the Pastel Wagara Asobi Course refrain from using the designs.
