Customer Reviews

Great book!

I really enjoyed reading this book, it's really easy to follow and has great examples. I was kinda lost on how to draw manga, but it saved me. It shows the steps to draw a manga story and what materials you use in each step. It even shows how you should erase so the pages do not crumble. The illustrations are very well done, and it really explains well how to layout the pages and organize your story. I really recommend this book.

Easy to Read.

This book is great for beginners who want to learn how to put together a manga. It has easy steps to help you understand the basics and teach you how to get the skill necessary to draw a manga. It also tells you the basics of story writing since manga isn't just about art. I am 22 years old and interested in manga and it gave me a good bit of information.

htdm

it was alright. allot of this stuff was a givin though, so it wasent that informative to me.

What I was Looking for!

Just like the other book they've made, this book is in a manga format. The downside is, they used a different artist. So the artwork isn't so pleasant to my eyes. Other than that, they still follow all the details in how you go about making manga pages. Layouts, sketches, thumbnails, pens, nibs, ink types, and white out techniques and tones! If you're looking for a book to show you how to draw something specific, this book is NOT what you're looking for.
