Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Given the popularity of manga, a manual on how to draw in that style is likely to fly off the shelves, almost regardless of quality. Fortunately, books in the new Drawing Manga series are filled with simple lessons and concise explanations of standard drawing techniques that have been nicely adapted to the signature style. In Heroes and Villains Gray offers a range of helpful tips on getting facial expressions right and provides suggestions on perfecting the details that make for a polished whole, including, for example, a special section devoted the way eyes can be used to convey emotion. Although the brevity in some of the series' more technical volumes in the series, such as Robots, is occasionally frustrating, for the most part, the colorful diagrams in all the books are easy to follow and offer enough exciting action poses to please a burgeoning audience of manga artists. Other volumes in the six-book series cover monsters and action figures. Jesse Karp
