LOOK INSIDE

Learn how to draw manga characters from scratch, aimed specifically at beginners, this book includes examples from the main genres of manga characters and teaches how to draw different characters in distinct poses.

There are clear step-by-step instructions, with 10 exercises for each genre, friendly Chibis also pop up every so often to offer tips and advice to keep in mind while you are drawing.

Starting with simple exercises and gradually getting more detailed, there are sections covering Kodomo (child), Shonen (teenage boy), Shojo (teenage girl) and Seinen (youth) characters to practise.

Extensive advice on finishing techniques ranges from colouring by computer, using pen and ink, paintbrush, felt-tip pen and pencils, both in black and white and colour.
