 Ahhhh this book rocks!! January 4, 2003

I... Well actually my dad bought this book for me (I bought volume 3), and trust me this book is worth every single penny! It talks about the basics like the face, body, poses, and more! The main reason I bought this book was to learn how to improve my anime eyes; and let me tell you, being the amateur I am, they've improved ALOT! I would show a scan of one of my practice sheets, but it's not allowed, oh well! XDI made a drawing of a kitty girl with the instructions the book gives you...*can't imagine all the critiques she would get from the author* But anyway, the book tells you to compare your drawings with other drawings, and it takes you think: "Man, I used to draw like THAT?" At least that's how I did...lol One of the things I loved about this book was that the author shows us these drawings made from 100% Amateurs, Intermediate *sp* and Advanced artists, plus proffessional versions of the drawings. It tells you WHAT'S wrong with the drawings, the errors etc. And that helps ALOT because these drawings have very common errors. May I add that the mascots are, hmm how do I put this...KAWAII?! (japanese for cute...heh) The author uses these adorable mascots that briefly explain you things like "We must learn the basics!"; that adds humor to the book, and that alone made me more confident of myself, and killed the thought of "Oh it'll probably be too hard for me". But let me tell you, if you put your heart and time to it, and practice with this book, you'll be a kick-arse anime artist in no time! And remember, if your first straight line comes out horrible, don't worry, by time you'll get it right, because practice makes perfect =3 If you plan on becoming an anime artist or illustrator or whatever, thi book MUST be on your bookshelf, you won't regret it. ^_^

This is a great drawing of anime/manga. I Think it helped me best with the drawing of the eyes and not so much of the body. If you like Tenshi and CCS type of drawings this is def. your kind of book!

I bought this book for my 15 year old daughter who loves anime and manga from Japan. She absolutely enjoys drawing anime and has made me look at all of her pictures at least a thousand times. Her drawings have greatly improved after studying these books. If only she studied math just as hard...
Not just the book for Anime artist wanna-be's everywhere... February 1, 2002

I am a relatively new artist to the Anime world, and my pencil drawings are not what you could call, 'Up to scratch', forgive the pun. This book made my drawings better, and taught me how to draw sketches in a totally original way! This is too good to ignore!
