4.0 out of 5 stars Well, it's an ALMOST Deluxe Kit... Pen nibs, but no ink???, September 4, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How To Draw Manga Deluxe Official Kit (How to Draw Manga (Graphic-Sha Unnumbered)) (Hardcover)
This kit is pretty good, but it lacks a few pieces of equipment needed to be a great or "deluxe" kit. First off, the exclusive HTDM book is very good. It is a focused and condensed guide to the use of hardware, such as the pen and ink itself, tone, etc. as well as to some drawing techniques, such as perspective. However, the volume, like all the other books in the HTDM series, is not for the beginner. One must have some basic knowledge of how to draw before this book will help.

Also, it's great to have a book that tells you how to use manga tones, pen and ink. However, what good is such a book if the "Deluxe" kit does not include a burnisher (needed for applying tone) or ink (obvious necessity, isn't it?) I mean, I wouldn't ask for a full sized bottle of Japan's finest india ink, but a small sample of basic ink, drafting ink -- something with which we can practice using the pen nibs, would have been, well, a necessity.

One minor quibble, the pen holder is too small for those of us with larger hands than average. That's hardly a big deal, but it might matter to some.

All in all this kit is worth about 3.5 stars, I'd say. The book is useful, the paper is great, and gives a great feel for how the pen and ink work on the real thing. I haven't had an opportunity to use the tones, but the skyline print and a basic dot print were what my kit came with, and they look good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, September 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How To Draw Manga Deluxe Official Kit (How to Draw Manga (Graphic-Sha Unnumbered)) (Hardcover)
it was nice, all that was should have been sold in these packages are bottles of ink but it doesnt cast too much to get ink anyways. Using the pens offers a unique experience and the book fully explains how to take care of them.
