The popularity of manga—Japanese cartooning—continues to grow, inspiring interest in learning how to draw this exciting style of comics.
From comic illustration Ikari Studio comes the ultimate guide on how to draw manga. The Monster Book of More Manga is divided into sections focusing on the most popular manga figures and themes—Girls, Boys, Samurai, Monsters, and Computer. This new volume contains brand new sections on Mecha, Villains, and Animals, and a special section on Fairies. Each illustration is broken down into six stages accompanied by step-by-step instructions, taking the artist from an initial black-and-white sketch to the final color piece. They're also accompanied by practical suggestions, hints, and tips.
From beginner to advanced, this monster-size manual is the must-have book for anyone interested in learning how to draw manga.
So So If your a beginner or just want to illustrate Manga then this is a good place to start. If you consider yourself an advanced artist or a serious art student then this is a waste of your money.
The book does a somewhat decent job with character variety, but your really getting the stereotypical design from only one vantage point. Also although the coloring is passable (I guess the main purpose of this book) it's really not that good.
