Customer Review: Above decent
I flipped through this book at the local shop and thought it might be a good buy. What I found inside was actually pretty insightful. One thing though, this book is not an instruction on how to draw. So if you're not familiar with drawing fundamentals I'd suggest an instructional book instead.

This book contains all the basic ins and outs of creating manga utilizing digital means. From inking to coloring and including different types of color work it's pretty extensive and is a great book for beginners who don't exactly know programs like Photoshop or Illustrator but are eager to learn.

Definitely a good surprise and it even goes into the publishing side of the business which is always good for those who want to work professionally.
