Customer Review for this product :
Excellent for the Serious Drawer - This is a very unique manga-drawing guide as it covers specifically colored pictures. However, I I felt that it did an excellent job of covering that subject.
For example, this book had a section that showed how the same colored drawing would look on many, many different types of paper. It also explained the differences between, water, oil, and alchohol-based markers and important little things to know about them. (For example, oil-based markers will dissolve toner.) It also mentioned things such as not coloring too quickly or too slowly, and photocopying your images when coloring to make room for mistakes. It even tells you multiple ways of storing and protecting your finished artwork and where to make copies...
The guide also goes on to airbrush techniques...
Also, this book provided several solid examples of doing colored drawings step by step. And, this volume was quite free of ecchi material, which is an enormous plus in my view.
Finally, the little mini-manga at the beginning and end of the book added a cute touch to the guide. The store salesperson who appears often throughout the pages makes the book more fun to read despite the fact that this guide is much more technical than other volumes.
Overall, this is a wondeful How to Draw Manga book. Although it it more for the slightly advanced drawer who has some decent experience with drawing manga, it's a fun and educational (in terms of drawing) read for anyone who loves drawing manga.
