Manga Mania Occult & Horror: How to Draw the Elegant and Seductive Characters of the Dark [Paperback]

Christopher Hart (Author)

Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Release Date: Nov 13 2007 | Series: Manga Mania
This title introduces readers to the strange, mysterious universe of elegant occult and horror. Subtle and compelling Japanese occult and horror manga gracefully melds the two genres into one. There are many transformations that occur and the drama is less gory than traditional western plots. "Manga Mania: Occult and Horror" is the first western tutorial on this most alluring and complex genre. With his popular step-by-step drawings and clear text, best-selling author Christopher Hart shows exactly how to draw wizards, demon children, vampires, card readers, dragon worshipers and many more denizens of the hidden places between darkness and light.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice drawing guide, some drawings inconsistant Nov 15 2007

Manga Mania Occult horror focuses on teaching the budding artist how to draw images of Occult Horror characters. Occult horror characters (according to Chris) are more mature-looking than the typical Manga Shoujo characters. The proportions are more like those used in the fashion industry.

I found this book to be pretty good. Granted, as with any Chris Hart book there are issues of drawing quality and inconsistency. Some art is quite good, others are next to useless. But the majority of the pictures were quite stunning and interesting. I would've liked to have seen a few more guides for drawing the faces.. Especially from different angles since the characters look a bit different from Shoujo.

Overall, though,this was an enjoyable book and a welcome addition to any library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Hart does it again! Jan 29 2008

I was so impressed with Mr. Hart's faery books that I had to pick this up and I am even more impressed with this book. The drawings are stunning and the instruction is clear and easy to follow, which allows you to get good results in a fairly short amount of time. What really makes this book useful is the different sections he has broken the drawings into. Learning to draw a really cool vamipire is one thing, but can you draw him in profile? In Victorian clothing? Can you draw his hands? What about color? Mr. Hart tackles all of these subjects and takes you through them one at a time. A little drawing experiance is helpful, but not really necessary as everything is broken down into shapes and he shows you how to fill in the details. This is a great book for anyone, kids or adults who want to learn to draw.

Christopher Hart never disappoints! He can teach the most raw beginner so much about drawing. He concentrates on showing how to draw different styles for different Manga characters.
