You wouldn't know it from the cover, but..., Feb 20 2010
By tankgirly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shojo Fashion Manga Art School: How to Draw Cool Looks and Characters (Paperback)
...this book is amazing! I wasn't expecting much when I browsed through it in barnes & noble, but, contrary to what the cover and title, this is a great tool for anyone drawing manga. It covers all the basics, including two or more pages each on eyes, hands, feet, ears, etc., and also covers basic and in depth anatomy & body structure. Since I've purchased it, I've referenced it SO much! There's also chaptes on how fabric lays, hair styles, tons of poses... It's definitely not what I expected, but I'm really glad I've found it. I've previously bought quite a few other manga/ anime drawing books, and none of them has been as helpful as this one book has been. Definitely inspired me to draw way more... Perfect for any beginner or someone looking to hone specific skills. Many thanks to the author for making stuff that seems hard pretty easy to grasp. Yay!

A surprise!, Jun 14 2010

This review is from: Shojo Fashion Manga Art School: How to Draw Cool Looks and Characters (Paperback)
This is an excellent book from the beginner to the advanced. I was surprised that it turned out to be as excellent as it was. While this book does assume you have some experience drawing (That you have attempted to draw people before, even if they turned out awful). It gives you pointers and things to keep in mind when attempting to draw them. Don't skimp on the practicing, as it does work!The best section by far is the detail spent on clothing. I, myself, have a lot of problems drawing clothes and this book gave me an excellent idea of how clothing should look, lay, and work with the character.
I found that with this book and Girl to Grrrl manga by Colleen Doran, that all my other how to draw manga books make a bit more sense as well as become easier to understand. Girl to Grrl manga and Shojo Fashion break down the basics to help you understand how draw not only the basic character, but facial expressions, as well as different styles. They also focus on body structure and proportion, which nessc. for any beginning artist.
