 Great Book but... October 13, 2000
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
First of all, I think this book is great, and it will be very helpful to many people. This book gives you many types of anime characters and examples. Very detailed, such as different chars' facial expressions, hairstyle, view from different angles, and body type, custom, etc. It also has many different learners' drawings compared with pro's revised versions, which is very helpful, I think. It gives you pointers about where you should watch out for... However, although this book has some instructions on how to draw face, body and other parts, they are not very detailed, not like step by step as the "How to Draw Manga 1." I would assume that this book is not for absolute beginners. So... Overall, it's a very good book. Recommended: "How to Draw Manga 1"

I bought this book from Amazon, without so much as a picture of the cover, because there aren't many "how to draw manga" books out there, and I need as much reference as I can get!Unfortunately, this still isn't the "Ultimate How to Draw Manga" book, I don't think it exists yet, but this comes very close. I've been drawing for over 20 years now, so I don't need some steps that I think beginners would benefit from, that never seem to make it into these "how to" books. I felt a twang of discomfort seeing the pictures in this one, going by it's ratings, my style falls somewhere in between "intermediate" and "very close but..." levels and not the "pro" level, but perhaps with some of the lessons in this book, I'll finally cross that threshold! The art is beautiful, looking like a cross between Disney and manga, it illustrates several different genres, and has pages and pages of examples of each "type" of character. Lots of "how to draw guys" too, which is a subject often ignored in "how to" books and tutorials. I highly recommend this book, even for the "non-beginner," it has lots to show!

I bought this book for my son and found that it was ideal. He has no art training but is able to draw these characters using the methods shown in the book. Great investment!
