Introduction
Hey, hi!
My name is Jesi, but online I go by Jesiiii; that’s four i’s to
represent my four eyes. (I proudly wear glasses!) I am an
illustrator, painter, and product designer of what I like to call
“quirky art for happy hearts.” We all have the special gift of
creativity, but when it comes to my creative process, often a funny
play on words or a pun will spark inspiration for the silly things I
love to draw. I enjoy using bold lines and saturated colors in my
work, and never shy away from adding a little sparkle when I can.
I’m so excited to share my artistic style with you!

Tools
The best thing about making art is that you can pick whatever
medium works for you. For the basics, I recommend starting with a
nice drawing pad and graphite drawing pencils. When you start a
character, sketch out your design lightly in your drawing pad first.
Don’t shy away from using other drawing tools to help perfect your
work. I love using rulers for straight lines and circle tools to make
perfect curves. Ink the lines with different sized graphic pens. Use
a medium-tip pen for the outlines and a thin-tip pen for all the itty-
bitty details. Once the ink is set, lightly erase whatever pencil
marks are still showing. And now the really fun part—COLOR!
Feel free to experiment, explore, and find your own creative style.
Markers, colored pencils, or even watercolor paints are a great
place to start. Alternatively, you could scan your drawing in order
to color it in digitally on your computer.

Tips & Tricks
Not all of the designs in this book are symmetrical but many are.
One way to ensure symmetry is to draw a line down the middle of
the design to make sure both sides match up perfectly. You can also
fold the paper in half and trace a flawlessly matching side to the
drawing.
Adding a face to your drawing will give it some personality. Try
different expressions to convey a mood. Is your character happy
with a smile? Maybe they’re feeling spunky with a wink and
tongue out, or feeling in love with heart-eyes, or maybe they’re just
a little sad with tears welling up in their adorable eyes.
Don’t be afraid to play around with where you put the face on the
drawing. Make the face bigger or smaller, on the top, middle, or
bottom of the design. The options are endless!
You can even add multiple faces to a character to turn a drawing
into several characters at once.
Even though I am guiding you through your learning process, these
drawings are uniquely yours. If your quirky, creative heart pulls
you to make something square instead of round, add a face or two,
or even create a blue strawberry rather than a red one, trust your
instincts.
There is no right way to express yourself. Use the blank characters
at the end of the tutorials to practice different facial expressions
and play with various bold colors. Practice your techniques with
the dot grid pages at the end of the book.
Now, grab your tools and let’s have some pun!

FOOD & DRINK
Cupcake
1 Starting with the cupcake liner, draw a wide U shape with a curve for
the base and the sides slightly extending out.
2 Across the top of the liner, draw a line with curved ends that extend
past the sides. Add three jagged points, like little mountains, to the
center of this line.
