This was a nice book, not too different from any other art book but the Hip Hip style seems to be a lot cleaner and easier. My style is very much traditional and more Image Comics, but I do like this and will probably start experimenting with it. I'm really tired of the manga stuff, but this style looks really nice.

Also this book was very easy to follow, but I think what makes it stand out more is its presentation. It teaches drawing in a narrative style which was very new to me. I enjoyed the art itself and would like to work with it a little more.

I bought this book after borrowing it from the local library. They had many copies. I wanted it in my personal reference collection. This is a very unique book. It is written in a conversational style using hip hop characters. The book is entertaining and an easy read. It covers quickly the basis of drawing but mostly focus in on the special techniques you would perform to create hip hop characters. I love the chapters concentrating on gear, movement, posture and characterization. You will enjoy reading the book as well as be amazed at the work and if you follow the easy directions you will be able to draw hip hop. This is the only book I have found on this topic that is on point. I highly recommend it for beginners as well as advance artist. Great Job!

I am very pleased with this item. I like how the authors have created a story line to help with instruction. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in learning this unique style.

I have read various "How to draw" books and this book manages to stand out from the rest simply by the way it was written. It has two characters talking to each other through out the book itself explaining the techniques used to draw hip-hop, although it goes more into the style of clothing and background more so then pure form the book was excellent in my own opinion.

this book was a very good find on my part not that i didnt know how to draw urban characters but it's always good to see how someone else does it,this book is a great tool to actually growing in a style of comics thats transcending just hip hop but comics all together,check out work by humberto ramos,skottie young,chris buchelo and many others use very similar styles so it's not just about hip hop...more about urban culture slipping it's way into the mainstream

The instructions were easy to follow, and the illustrations are awesome. I'm having alot of fun with this book. The dialogue between the two characters keeps readers entertained.

I got this mainly for the Daimon Scott artwork,and its loaded with it. Some of the subject matter left me me a little distant. But over all a interesting read.
