Book Reviews of Draw Your Own Manga: All the Basics
Book Review: Good...But not that Good...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book from a book store the other day and thought it was going to explain HOW TO DRAW the style of manga, like heads, eyes, lips, noses, proportions etc. Well, I was wrong.
Sure It does have a chapter on What your character should look like, but it doesn't really go in-depth. It just skims over the basics.
Mostly this book is about proper materials for someone who actually wants to be a Manga artist, and techniques, along with how to use all the tools.
If your really that dedicated then this is the book for you, But if your like me and just want to see if you could draw a character with paper and a pencil then i would recommend another book.
I still like it though, as its good for help with a regular artist choice for materials.
hope my review helps!
