Book Reviews of More How To Draw Manga Volume 2: Penning Characters
Book Review: Much better than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been drawing for about 15 years, 10 of them SERIOUSLY, I mean, with REAL dedication and study. 9 years ago, I discovered my love manga-style, and wanted to learn more. And every time I got stuck on the same point: I don't know how to ink. I have about seven books of the HTDM series now, and when I found out this one, I wanted to take the risk of ordering something that has no review. And I found the following:
-Yes, IT DOES TEACH YOU HOW TO INK, with description and examples of materials, techniques and all the stuff.
-It gives you good advice on texturing and shading, even to express the character's personality through inking. And to make your drawings look professional.
-It covers a lot of manga related subjects, from the inking point of view, like the use of special "codes" (sweat drops, X's and the kind).
Yup, it's not for the rookie artist, but you just need to know this: if you already do a good work with pencils, now you won't ruin it anymore on the ink process.
Summing up: buy it. You wont regret it (well, unless you're a skilled inker, and even then you might get some usefull advice).
Summary of More How To Draw Manga Volume 2: Penning Characters
It's time to learn the basics of inking and two indispensable stroke types: strokes with tapered and even ends. Combining tapered lines with blunt, even lines allows for the production of balanced artwork. Applying discretion in using tapered and even lines when drawing figures will help you establish whether a character is good or bad.Figure Drawing Books
