How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond! (Manga University Presents ... How to Draw Manga) Review: One of the Best Resources for Drawing Manga Style Characters - There's one thing that needs to be addressed when it comes to this book, something which left me feeling a bit conflicted on how to rate it. This book is exclusively about Manga Characters. If you want any information on paneling, lettering, backgrounds, screen-tones or anything of that sort -- this book won't help. This book focuses solely on characters and when it comes to that it's one of the best in its field. How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond surprised me with its level of detail. Each page is filled to brim with a variety of illustrations covering each part of the body. With pages devoted to individual parts such as the ears, hands, and neck. It includes instructions on both smaller details & common mistakes. The illustrations encompass a variety of styles, all of which are noticeably modern. Compared to classics, such as Tadashi Ozawa's "How to Draw Anime & Game Characters" it really showcases how manga has evolved and grown in modern times. It book even goes along to show several body-types not commonly taught in "How to Manga" books, such as plump, muscular, and "skeletal" bodies. If there is one negative to be had, it is that I fear the book might be a bit overwhelming in its first few illustrations. Like most other books it starts with how to draw the head, but here so much information is presented at once that a beginner artist might become discouraged before seeing how its broken down in the following chapters. Review: Amongst hundreds of books to choose from... THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED. - I've taken art courses throghout my life both in public schools and at university. I've always found how to draw manga books to be very lacking in teaching actual tools for skill building and instead defaulting to "this is how to draw this pose and only this pose" sort of concepts. This book contains some very important core concepts that people try to skip over but you honestly need those concepts to really take your skills to the next level. There was several concepts I learned at university in this book as well as additional tools I did not already possess, making this book useful for both total beginners and more experienced artists. I liked this book so much I bought a copy for my best friend who wants to learn to draw. This contains excellent lessons, tools, references, and concepts that I highly reccommend for just about anyone interested in drawing manga. Something I also appreciated seeing was elaboration on characters with different body types and how to draw fat or being emaciated. This also gives you tips on how to draw characters of various different ages which I also dont see much in manga books (apart from chibis, babies, teens and young adults but not many expand to ages beyond that). Having owned and read what feels like hundreds of manga books, this one is made by artists who are actually in the industry and know what they are talking about. If you are to get yourself or anyone else a how to draw manga book, this will have pretty much everything you need for the art skills. To clarify, this book does NOT contain how to use the physical tools such as pens, inks, panneling on mangaka layout papers and screentones. Trust me, out of all the books this is one of the best out there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #62,096 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Nonfiction Manga (Books) #19 in How to Create Manga #92 in Pencil Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,150 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond!

My collection now exceeds 60 books specifically on this topic. If I was forced to pick just one, it'd be this one. It is the most comprehensive single book on the topic I've found. In particular, I love that it covers a wide range of poses and body types. It also does a great job covering the differences in ages, all the way down to infants (which is weirdly often forgotten in most). They also cover skinny and fat characters. And tons of different poses and even goes more in-detail about muscles than most books of this type. An instant favorite of my collection and a must-buy, even if your goal isn't explicitly anime-style characters. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond!
