4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners
My experience drawing Manga/Anime figures is that of a beginner. I bought about 10 different books to get started as I have zero drawing experience. Of the many fine works that have helped me improve my sketching in a very short time, this one was one of the two most helpful. The "tutorials" in the beginning of the book are great, especially helping a novice draw...

1.0 out of 5 stars Way too fast
The book speeds through vague tips, without stopping long enough for you to actually figure out how to draw anything. It will speak about the three main views of faces, but not how to actually draw a face at any of the angles. It will tell you about expressions, but no hints on how to draw eyes or mouths.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners, July 12, 2007
This review is from: Discover Manga Drawing: 30 Easy Lessons for Drawing Guys And Girls (Paperback)
My experience drawing Manga/Anime figures is that of a beginner. I bought about 10 different books to get started as I have zero drawing experience. Of the many fine works that have helped me improve my sketching in a very short time, this one was one of the two most helpful. The "tutorials" in the beginning of the book are great, especially helping a novice draw figures from different angles. The second half of the book is devoted to examples of various manga-style(and yes, in response to another comment...they ARE MANGA) figures for inspiration.

I am sure the book may not offer much to veteran manga artists...but this newb really appreciated the leg up offered by Mr.Galea's book.

Enjoyed the layout and material. Feel it would be good for anyone who is tired of the how to books that never get to the point.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for..., May 6, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Discover Manga Drawing: 30 Easy Lessons for Drawing Guys And Girls (Paperback)
The art does not represent Manga drawings at all, in my opinion. This book was a big disappointment to me and a waste of money.
