htdm it was alright. allot of this stuff was a givin though, so it wasent that informative to me.
Hmm,.. it's ok... The reason this book is ok, is simply because the book is the same as the first one, writing stories, except this one is about drawing basics. I don't really like the character designs, I like the first one better. The good part about this book is that it does however give you pointers on how to draw your manga to give it depth and to give it a good format, so your story is easier to follow. It also gives you a slight run down on some materials you can use. Even though I don't care to much of how the characters look that's narrating through out the book, I do love how the artist drew the illustrations of the examples, and love the example manga pages in the book. Other than that I would recommend getting this book if you're stuck on how to correctly format your manga to give it more depth.
What I was Looking for! Just like the other book they've made, this book is in a manga format. The downside is, they used a different artist. So the artwork isn't so pleasant to my eyes. Other than that, they still follow all the details in how you go about making manga pages. Layouts, sketches, thumbnails, pens, nibs, ink types, and white out techniques and tones!
If you're looking for a book to show you how to draw something specific, this book is NOT what you're looking for.
