This was a holiday gift for my brother (who is an adult). He has been enlarging and copying (by hand) Manga drawings for at least a year, and his work is beautiful. He just couldn't seem to make the leap to making up his own characters. I flipped through this book once it arrived, and thought it (along with 2 others I got him) would go a long way towards teaching him how to draw his own characters... more

I actually enjoyed the book. It gives you an idea on the ruffles and how the clothing drapes the body. Really helpful if you are creating a character with frilly clothing. This book also has some poses that will be very helpful if you get stuck on a certain pose. It has posing in chairs with the legs crossed (one that I say can be very difficult!), reclining,kneeling on one leg, bowing, and so... more

This book is okay but I could have lived without it, the type of clothing they have featured in this book should have been more diverse, the clothes for the girls were things most artist probably are not going to dress their characters in and the same went for the boys, but if you're just looking for reference on drawing lines and wrinkles in general then maybe this would help you... more

| 5. How to Draw Manga: Bodies & Anatomy |
|
By: Society for the Study of Manga Techniques
Publisher: Graphic-Sha
December 15, 2001
For being a book being geared towards manga, it does anatomy very well.
The book gets down to the basics; skeletons and muscles. After all, isn't that what's underneath the skin? The purpose of the book is to illustrate the layout of the body, different perspectives of the body, and how the body makes twists and turns at different angles. It doesn't have much to explain, and I don't think... more

| 6. How To Draw Manga Volume 40: Dressing Your Characters In Suits & Sailor Suits (Vol 40) |

September 06, 2006
Its hard to say since I love this series but this book down right sucks. The whole book is pretty much all about suits and barely anything else. To top it all off they dont even have good poses, its pretty much all one guys raising his arm for 200 so pages. If you got this for sailor suits poses and stuff, dont get it. It has about 10 or so pages on sailor suits, and the sailot suit is UGLY. I dont... more

| 7. How To Draw Manga Special: Colored Original Drawings |

This book tells how to use Copic markers, and has some good ideas in it. It even gives advice for using the special airbrush system compatible with Copic markers. The section about paper wasn't really useful though because it talks about paper available in Japan, but most of it probably isn't available in the US. I found the coloring tips in this book useful. If you use Copic markers (or other art... more

I'd give this book maybe 3.5 stars... don't be fooled by the female on the cover. Most of the drawings are of male figures. There did seem to be good information in the book, but for those who prefer to draw females, this book is not the best.
