Excellent Artistic Reference,

This review is from: Tokyo Urban Hip Hop Culture (Let's Draw Manga) (Paperback)
Wanna draw super-baggy hip-hop clothes? Jewelry with style and characters wearing something other than sailor suits and school uniforms? Look no further. Tokyo Urban-hip Hop Culture is the artistic reference for you. The Authors go into depth describing the various looks popular in Japanese Hip-hop culture today. While this book describes fashions popular in Japan today, these costumes will be easily recognizable as popular in American amongst urban youth.The best part is you do not need to be a fan of Manga to find this artistic reference book useful. In particular the discussion of clothing, jewelry and the way fabric folds is quite useful to the artist. An excellent book for comic artists everywhere.
