Best Introduction to Manga Drawing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Just got this and love it - the drawings are fantastic and it's a fun introduction for those of us getting into the manga style. Not sure what the other reviewer was complaining about - the art is great (not blurry - the style is meant to convey how it is sketched out) and the drawn in a way that helps you learn as well. Can't go wrong with this.
ESSENTIAL for any Manga student or fan!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My nephews (8 and 15) are really into Manga and wanted to learn how to make some of their own characters and stories. We were disappointed with a lot of the books out there - poor translations, not very helpful, and, quite frankly, boring. I just got this and they absolutely love it. First, it's just a great graphic novel - lots of fun, funny, a little scary. But, just as important, it uses the story to help you learn how to draw different kinds of characters, animals, machines, etc., in a way that actually engages you. And, unlike a lot of how-to books that teach manga, it's easy to follow. It also encourages and helps readers create their own characters and stories rather than just copying what's in the book. I've even gotten into it with them. A great gift for manga fans of any age!
