It's been said that the hardest part of drawing is getting started. You can have great ideas, all the proper drawing tools, lots of time and motivation to draw, but unless you sit down and begin it all means nothing. As a drawing teacher I've encounter a number of students who wanted to draw manga but somehow never got around to getting started. Their excuses were many from, "I didn't bring my drawing pad." to "I just don't 'feel' like drawing." Excuses have never created a work of art, only hard work. Christopher Hart and Watson-Guptill provide a comprehensive beginner's guide that covers everything manga. From constructing character bodies and faces, costumes, special effects, perspective, panel layout and sequencing, landscapes, different character types and just about everything else a young artist could hope to use. The book is filled with Christopher's own illustrations and that of other
manga artists who use different styles.
Manga For The Beginner is a great jumping on point for the novice
manga artist and a helpful reminder tool for the more experienced artist.
