This latest entry in Christopher Hart's wildly popular Manga Mania series provides aspiring manga artists with the expertise they need to master basic manga drawing skills, and serves as a guide to developing characters and worlds for the video game environment. Young artists will learn how to draw manga characters that are widely featured in popular video games such as Disney's Kingdom Hearts. A variety of subjects are covered, including 3-D character modeling (from "wire mesh" grid to finished figurel), attack weapons, character costumes, rotations (visual characters from all directions), dramatic lighting, flow charts, game mapping, and more.
Thanks for taking a look at my books, and this "Author Bio." I'm a competent tennis player, who also enjoys playing computer chess while I'm watching TV at night (Hey, it prevents me from channel-surfing). I'm keenly interested in M-theory, although i have become skeptical of it of late, despite Brian's Green's full-body gushing... I love being with my family, and even my extremely evil dog, a Welsh Springer Spaniel named "Rusty." Oh, yes, he truly is that evil.
As for my work, I'm the author of many How-To-Draw books, published by Watson-Guptill,the art imprint of Random House. Thanks to a lot of the wonderful readers (and you know who you are!), I have sold over 3 million copies domestically, which have been translated into 20 languages worldwide.
I'm fortunate to also have had 26 of the Best-Selling art books in the country, according to Bookscan.(Bookscan is the publishing industry's rating system for books, which is owned by same company that does the Neislen TV ratings.)
I also have my own drawing show on the Comcast Network, called, "How To Draw Action Heroes With Chris Hart." It's on Comcast's "Activity TV." I hope you like my books, and find them a valuable adjunct to your own imagination.
