Manga fantasy is the swords-and-sorcery Japanese animation style featured in the most popular video role-playing games on the market. Best-selling author Christopher Hart’s latest tutorial reveals the secrets and techniques that go into building these worlds of wonder.

An increasingly fashionable style among both digital and traditional animators, manga enjoys unrivaled popularity among the game players themselves, allowing them entry into fabled worlds of startling beauty, terror, and adventure. Manga Mania Fantasy Worlds throws down the gauntlet for people interested in creating these scenes for themselves. Artists will learn how to illustrate detailed backdrops and landscapes, rugged weaponry, and, of course, fearsome creatures—aliens, faeries, ogres, and much more. In the straightforward style that is his trademark, Christopher Hart teaches the basics and the intricacies of creating manga fantasy illustrations that practically jump off the page.

Great lessons!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2022

This is the second book I’ve order from this seller that was used. This book came in near perfect condition and looked untouched. Thank you for selling used books at affordable prices.

The book itself is by Chris Hart and it’s worth the lessons. The only flaw I found was it never dives into a few aspects like composition. To be fair this isn’t really what the title leads on to be but panel layout with some composition seems to be a fair expectation in any how to draw manga book. Pros is it definitely has enough crazy creative creatures to keep you busy and begin to give you the right mindset to move towards creating the weird and strange along with the expected like elf’s and weird minions and things I’m not even sure what I’m looking at. Chris is a brilliant mind

I chose this rating because it was in way better shape than I expected. It is very informative. The condition of the book was excellent.

I waited a long time for this to arrive from the retailer. It arrived in a thin, plastic wrapping that had a slight tear near one of the corners of the book. Luckily, there was no damage to the product. As for the book itself, I actually like it. It has many different things to draw, and explains the differences in styles. It mainly focuses on Medieval and Sci-Fi worlds. It's not my favorite How-To-Draw book, even on these topics, BUT for the price and the variety of projects, it has a welcomed spot on my shelf.

MY SON WAS VERY PLEASED. THESE BOOKS ARE VERY HELPFUL WITH ART STUDENTS. NOW HE HAS THE BOOK TO SHOW HIM HOW TO DRAW, BUT ALSO HIS ART TEACHER AT SCHOOL.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2003

This is the best. Just discovered this book after a college neighbor of mine recommended I try one of Hart's Manga books; The book is so rich not only the technique but in the creature personality as well, which adds a whole new dimension to my(?) characters. The background images, the scenes are so descriptive - one can almost hear the sounds. Harts guidance encourages exploration and confidence in following your own imagination. My illustration have reached a new level with this book.

Great!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2004

I love this book because it has more characters and differences between mystical characters, ie the difference between fairies and elves. It also has basic instruction for how to draw flowing dresses and such, which is needed when you draw mystical creatures alot. Highly recommended!

Very Nice Artworks but somewhat Westernized.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2005

I had mixed reviews about this book, but I had to admit that the reason why I bought this book was because of his fantastic cover art. :)

First of all, there’re some really good references on the fantasy, science fiction and medieval world. For example, you can find knights, faeries, monsters, dragons and even aliens in the book. Plus, topics on evolving medieval weapons, differences between elves and faeries, special effects and even the turnaround section (which tells you how a person looks like when “turned around) are covered. There’s also a section telling you what’s a weak and dynamic drawing looks like, which helps if you’re interested in honing your manga-drawing craft. Another great section I would like to point out is the “Castle” section. The book also covers some different places within the castle, such as the dungeon and drawbridge, and I find this really helpful when drawing the inside of the castle.

Unfortunately, there are only one example for most creature, beast or place, which can be rather limiting if you’re trying to draw the same creature in a different way. However, I think this is where your imagination will come in. Also, I noticed that some of the artworks have a certain “American” style (instead of Japanese) to it, but many of the artworks are very nice and attractive.

For the serious mangaka-wannabe though, you are better off getting more “technical” & "Japanese style" books such as the “How to Draw Manga” Series, but overall, this book will make a great reference or resource book for people interested in fantasy and drawing cartoon/manga.

I bought this for my grandson who, at 10, likes all things to do with monsters and wants to create his own versions. This book gives step by step ways of drawing creatures which he then adapts to suit his own imagination. Good buy
