A must for any Tezuka fan

I admit it, I'm a died in the wool Tezuka fan. I can't get enough of his manga and anime. I'm no artist, but I love the illustrations in this book, they really bring Atomu to life again. I've actually tried a bit of drawing, and have sorta given that up for now. Still, the book belongs next to my DarkHorse Manga Astro boy collection.

His works should be more popular in the States. My son loves this book and practicing Mango for a long time now.

I own many how to draw/cartooning books, and this is the best 'single' character book I have come across. Excellent.

How to Draw Astro Boy and ONLY Astro Boy

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

Disappointingly literal. It is JUST how to draw Astro Boy. There's two pages at the end showing some of the supporting cast and foes, I was hoping for a more general "How to draw the world of Astro Boy".

Try Your Hand at Drawing Astro Boy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2004

The "Let's Draw Manga" Series is the latest entry in the ever-growing field of instructional books aimed at Americans aspiring to create Japanese-style comics (or "manga"). As with the longer-running "How to Draw Manga" Series from Graphic-Sha, this new contender was originally published for a Japanese audience, and is now being made available in periodic English-language installments.
Do we need yet another bunch of "How-to" manga books competing for our dollars? I don't know. But "Let's Draw Astro Boy" is the one volume in this series that I can't recommend more highly.
To you younger folk, your first taste of "Astro Boy" may be the 2003 series currently running on Cartoon Network. But those of us manga/anime fans over 30 know that Astro Boy is one of the landmark characters of modern Japanese comics and animation, with a history going back almost 50 years. Created by Ozamu Tezuka (the "Walt Disney of Japanese Animation") as "Tetsuwan Atomu ("Mighty Atom" or "Strong-arm Atom")," Astro Boy appeared in one of the first anime programs to reach the US (in the 1960s). He's to sci-fi anime what Mickey Mouse is to mainstream US animation.
Astro Boy and Mickey Mouse also share this in common: they look SO EASY to draw, but soon you realize that if the slightest line is a few centimeters off, they just don't look like themselves. This book will give you enough pointers to avoid such pitfalls.
It's packed with tips for drawing Astro in typical movements like running, flying, and fighting. There's also a look at the insides of this robot's body (check out the BB gun that fires out of his...rump!). Especially valuable is a history the different interpretations of Astro over the years. Although pictures of much of his supporting cast are in the book, I would've liked more info about drawing them.
If you like drawing manga, anime, or non-Japanese cartoons, Astro (like Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny), should be one of those characters you can whip out from memory whenever the occasion arises. After reading "Let's Draw Astro Boy," you'll appreciate his deceptive simplicity.
