This book has excellent info on how to draw manga, especially for beginners. It's very acurate, and can show you many teqhniques to get started drawing manga. I absoulutely reccomend this book. It is absoulutely stunning, and the details are fantastic. Before I read it, my manga was, yes, terrible. But now, my manga has improved a lot more.
Fits the title!

While this book has " All the Basics" in it's title, it still could be VERY useful to more mature artists. This book covers any kind of drawing tool you'd ever want: templates, rulers, inks,pencils,erasers, cutting tools, screen tone, mechanical pencils, tape, correction fluid, manuscript cards, light box tracer, manikins, tone tools, photo collections, manuscript paper, pen nibs, pen holders and much more. It tells you how to use them, and lots of tips. It has a section on Perspective, something VERY nifty. No "wrong" stuff, and has a section on drawing people,( of course ) which is pretty good. And 2 Interviews with manga artists Takao Yaguchi and Toru Fujisawa. The only reason I gave it a 4 is 'cause it could have had more variety. Dogs, cats, older people. Overall, though, very good.
