Customer Reviews

Not quite.

The cover of this book is a tad misleading, and maybe this was just my own expectations, but I under the impression the book was much like that of the first one, only with "super deformed" anthropomorphism animal characters as so hinted in the description. So just to clear some air for those who are planning on purchasing this book, it's pretty much just filled with extremely simple drawn animals and the anthropomorphic characters it contains are pretty much rubbish.

This is new!

This book teaches how to draw super deformed animals!I never would have thought of it!Even though SD animals are not as popular as SD people this book is still good for a manga fan. A Super Deformed charater is a manga charater with a big head, slightly chubby body,and cute looks. SD charaters are usaully know as chibis. Useully SD charaters are human but hey this could be a new begining of chibi animals!Mabye SD animals can be just as popular too! The reason I gave this book four stars is it just goes over millions of animals until the book ends. I would have give it five stars if it just teached more about the expresions, and the poses and how to make SD animals in motion because they practiclly rushed through those steps. Over I do recomend this book though but you kind of have to have the basics on expressions and body movement of SD charaters down first.So before buying this book try buying "how to draw manga Super-Deformed charaters Vol. 1 people" first then buy this book. ~*~Purin~*~
