How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond! (Manga University Presents ... How to Draw Manga)

I got this book for my Grandmother as a birthday gift, but looking through it, it has amazing guides on body autonomy, manga styles, dynamic poses, making diverse characters, and so much more! I might have to borrow it from her after she's used it

This is the best Manga style art book I've found. It's full of helpful tips including poses and advice on more difficult work. This book is suitable for beginner to advanced level, I think all aspiring Manga-ka can learn something from it.

Excellent book. I'm a newbie and I love how detailed and explained it is from the skull to the drawing. Worth every penny.

Really happy with this product. Gives step by step instructions clearly and is very helpful to anyone wanting to learn how to draw manga

My son is impressed with his purchase

I love it, great guide to start into manga drawing. Very happy with it indeed!!

... this is your book

I bought this as a gift for my 14 year old nephew who enjoys reading manga. Having looked through the book I decided not to give it to him due to the number of semi naked women depicted. He might have been fine with it, but I don’t think I could have looked his mother in the eye! I kept the book and use it myself to inform life drawing.

Macht viel Spaß binnzu faul mehr zu schreiben gutes Buch

Te enseña todo lo básico de manera perfecta, desde las proporciones, la medida y ubicación de las partes de la cara, la anatomía e incluso cabello y forma de las partes del cuerpo. Lo mejor es que se puede aplicar al dibujo realista si también lo practicas. Una verdadera joya si apenas te inicias o ya tienes un nivel intermedio.

I ordered a bunch of books along with this on Saturday and by Monday I had them. Very impressed with the speed of delivery. When researching for "how to Draw manga" books my main goal was to find a Japanese author since they know the form the best.. I have been drawing anime and manga characters for almost 10 years for fun but always found when I did freehand the faces and body would be shaped weirdly. Within a couple of hours, I have already seen an improvement in my body shapes. The author has organized and written this book very well and covers everything I need to learn. I am pleased I never wasted money on other mediocre books. You will not be disappointed if this is the book your looking for

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.

This book is useful for beginners, it has all the basics. I felt this book would be more useful if there were more tips for total beginner in art. Price is little high for this book
