5.0 out of 5 stars Nice art , Nudity free, and Kawaii!, November 23, 2005
This review is from: Let's Draw Manga: Shoujo Characters (Paperback)
This book is really inspirining the art is great and the steps are fun! This book starts off by teaching you how to draw charaters from popular shoujos step by step so you can get the feeling of what drawing manga is like. Then it teaches you how to draw and create your own charaters ( hair, cloths,assesories ect.).Last it teaches you how to make backrounds, inking,the do's and the don'ts of manga,and how to create you own comics. Very fun and inspiring!

Over all this book deservise 4.5 stars just because it doesn't teach much about how to draw guys, so I find this book more of a how to draw manga females with out the nudity and all that stuff.Still very Kawaii and helpful.But if you buy this book buy the how to draw manga males with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Shojuo? This books for you! ^_^, November 19, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Let's Draw Manga: Shoujo Characters (Paperback)
This book is really great the only bad part is Akaro doesn't teach how to draw a three quarter view and some of the steps you have to practice really hard and long to get. If your a beginer I whould recamend Katie Coope's How To Draw Manga and How To Draw More Manga books or the How to draw manga seires but what I DON'T recamend at all is Kids draw, Extreme art, or Manga Mainia. This book is more of a advanced begginer so the steps are a little harder but once you master it it you art looks twice as good! In the begining of the book it shows how to draw a girl who looks like Sakura from Card captors! It also shows how to draw a bunch of charaters from fermilair shojuos too.So if you love shojou this book is for you! ^_^

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for intermetiate drawers!, December 20, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Let's Draw Manga: Shoujo Characters (Paperback)
This book is perfect if you already have some experience. I use this book to get ideas and poses and different hair ideas. If you are just a begginer who wants to learn how to draw manga, I would recomend Katie Coope, How to draw manga. It shows more basic proportions. Then practice on your own for a bit to get the hang of it. When you already know how to draw manga this book will come in handy. Also the "how to draw manga" series are a good intermediate to expert book.
