As long you are able to draw square boxes, you are able to draw characters. How to draw anime & game characters vol. 1 was an excellent how to draw book. I was surprise on how the author tells you how to start from a cube to a 3-D anime or game character.
Tadashi provides examples and practice drawing right from the start. He tells you to draw cubes and provides clear examples on what not to do, how to fix it and improve your drawing. The book also shows how to draw as a beginner, intermediate, and advance drawing. As you progress, Tadashi also shows you how to draw the face, ears, hair, hands (I had a hard time drawing the hands, but ever since Tadashi shows you how to step by step to draw a hand. Drawing hands is easier than ever!), body, motion and eyes. He also provides drawings from other artist and shows them how to improve on their character.
The book was very easy to understand and i reccommend to anyone who wants to start drawing or better themselves as a artist.
Great reference point for beginners. After recently purchasing this book, I am quite pleased with the nature of it's explanations. The first section of the book is about basic technique and a look at how to pose a character naturally. The rest of the book is basically a bunch of well drawn images you can use to hone your skills.
Remember, it's practice that makes a good artist. Use the sample images in the book and try to recreate them exactly. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
A must have item This book is great, i've gotten several books on how to draw anime and this is the best i've seen. The level of detail and the well explained text and example is just the best buy i've done on this matter.
Exactly what a beginner needs. I bought this book because, obviously, I wanted to learn how to draw anime character. Instead of going straight into it, this book has you draw basic pictures first(i.e. boxes, connect the dots, faces.) which is what a person needs to draw well. After gradually building in difficulty, amatuer drawings are displayed and critiqued for the learners benefit. All in all, everything is layed out well and the mission is accomplished.
Helpful This is helpful in understanding the actual process of drawing and how its done is explained well.
