5.0 out of 5 stars an exceptional how-to book, July 7, 2002
This review is from: How to Draw Anime & Game Characters, Vol. 3: Bringing Daily Actions to Life (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for both professional artists and beginners. It breaks down figure drawing into simple cylinder forms which are easy to follow, and beginners will appreciate. Professionals will enjoy the different dynamic poses of the basic figure types (it shows poses from many different angles). It also demostrates movement very well, showing how simple movement (walking, running) breaksdown, as well as martial art manuevers such as low and high kicks, different styles of punches and jump kicks can translate smoothly into drawings. The art is clear, consise, and easy to follow, with several very good examples of males AND females. A good how-to book that can allow you to try many new poses for your figure drawing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book worth your money, November 22, 2004
This review is from: How to Draw Anime & Game Characters, Vol. 3: Bringing Daily Actions to Life (Paperback)
Ozawa does a wonderful job again! He inititally starts the book on drawing your character using perspective giving a numerous amount of pointers and examples. Then giving basic action poses (walking, running, sitting, standing, laying down, etc) and going into variations of those actions by using multiple examples of characters. A typical example page consists of a stick figure in a particular pose, a block figure, and the actual finished character in the same pose. Front and back, or other view of the pose is common and he even gives pointers and tips of details to look out for.

Besides teaching you how to draw real believable characters, this book is an excellent edition that you may later use as a reference book for poses. Like his earlier books, Ozawa covers nudity tastefully and this book can be used by young artists without fear. A book well worth the money, imo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent book, February 26, 2004
By 
This review is from: How to Draw Anime & Game Characters, Vol. 3: Bringing Daily Actions to Life (Paperback)
The third book in the series picks up right after the last with perspective. The first chapter is dedicated to it, and provides many great tips. It then moves on to basic character movements such as walking, running, sitting, sleeping, and much more. From there it even goes into greater detail by showing you variations of the previously mentioned movements, and a lot of them. After all, no two people are made the same. This is a great book for any artist period who wants to learn the different poses of the body.
