Book Reviews of How to Draw Manga Volume 2 Compiling Techniques (How to Draw Manga (Graphic-Sha Numbered))

Book Review: It's all about backgrounds and tones
Summary: 5 Stars

A complement to the first book in this series, this edition focuses on backgrounds and effects. That said, it covers action lines, perspective, and toning with insider techniques such as drawing motion lines using a thumb tack, etching, applying tone, and creating tone effects. I also rather liked how it used actual panels from manga's printed like Those Who Hunt Elves, Angel Arm, and Lucky Rakuun.

This book is more for the aspiring mangaka who will use the knowledge of toning to great use unlike the average artist who just want to learn the drawing style. This book has four pages of nudity near the end as it covers shading the body using tones. If you're buying a toning book for a younger reader, get the Pen & Tone Techniques edition which has no nudity present. Other than that, is you're not adverse to nudity, then this is the best book to start learning how to tone.

Summary of How to Draw Manga Volume 2 Compiling Techniques (How to Draw Manga (Graphic-Sha Numbered))

The second in a surprise hit series. A host of techniques are introduced, including the motion lines and structure lines that always appear in manga, along with shading techniques and how to express texture. You won't find another instructional guide as easy to follow or as awesome.
