With manga becoming increasingly popular in the West, more and more amateur artists now want to create their own original manga art. This book covers everything the beginner needs to know about drawing their favorite manga characters, including people, monsters, and mascots. All the basic techniques are covered with clear instructions and plenty of step-by-step illustrations. There is advice on drawing figures, adding expressions, designing clothing, and posing characters. An essential section on creating different characters explains simple anatomy and examines the design points which make each character unique. Other sections cover the practical techniques needed to create comics—developing storyboards, creating layouts, scripting, including backgrounds, and using inking and coloring techniques. A final chapter includes more advanced techniques to enable readers to create finished artwork on their own.

ok but not for me,
By
This review is from: Drawing Manga (Paperback)
this book, as most, is best for novices. However is not very focused on authentic looking manga skills. the pictures are not impressive and are rather mediocre. I happen to be a obsessive teen fanatic, however, and desire only the best. this is a good directional guide for younger persons with only basic knowledge wanting to improve their skill. and i would recommend this for anyone under 14.
