Customer Review: A Must for Serious Manga Fans and Artists
This book is incredibly well organized and put together. Each section is extraordinarily written and as a whole the book is a Manga instructional classic. As Christopher Hart says, "It all starts with an artist and a pencil" and this book guides you through from the start of the creative process to the finished product.
Customer Review: Fantastic
Fantastic all-inclusive book that advanced my drawing techniques in Manga character sketching as well as drastically changed the way I drew video game characters. The book
is full with examples of the various Manga in a range of dispositions, moods, temperaments etc. Not only does the book give a good background on the characters, but goes into special affect, setting & environment and concludes with a great section on computer imaging.
