    A great book for your manga art library
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2013*

Beginner's Guide to Creating Manga Art is a great reference art book for the aspirant manga artist and manga aficionado in general.  This book is not a how-to-draw manga, but guide full of very useful tips on drawing, inking and coloring high quality manga characters.  And the manga art in this book is fantastic, bound to inspire your own manga art.I'm very impress with the quality of this book.  This book comes in a protective transparent vinyl cover, which you have to slide off to get access to the book.  It also was printed in landscape, which helps to keep tips and commentaries side-by-side with the artwork shown.The book is 208 pages long, and is organized into three chapters and a gallery:Chapter 1: The Basics of Manga is an introduction to the world of manga.  It includes a brief history of manga, and very brief guides a about manga styles, drawing faces and expressive eyes, drawing bodies and posing, and drawing clothes on characters.Chapter 2: Designing Characters is a collection of guides on how to draw and ink a few interesting original manga characters.  There are 11 character in total: The Barber, Ayaka the Zombie-Slaying Idol Singer, A Female Warrior, Kleo the Cat Girl, The School Girl, A Manga Duo, The Angel, A Forest Spirit, A Japanese Warrior Boy, A Lychee-Obsessed Girl and A Fantasy Elf.  Each guide starts with an introduction and list of tools used.  These guides include 5 - 16 figures, showing the art at various stages of development, using  graphite pencils, brush pens, mechanical pencils, Copic liners, fountain pens, Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop.Chapter 3: Coloring Characters builds up on the 11 characters started on the previous chapter presenting a collection of guides on how to color these.  Again, each guide starts with a brief introduction and a list of tools used.  These detailed guides includine 10 - 27 figures using colored inks, pencil crayons, watercolor paints, chalk pasteles, Copic markers, Faber Castell Pitt watercolor and Photoshop.The final section is a gallery of manga art.  This section consists of 10 pages loaded of manga characters.  There are 3 images of manga couples, 1 image of a male manga character, 12 image of female manga characters, and two full page images (one of them a school room scenery).In all, this book is recommended for aspiring manga artists that already know the basis of drawing manga, but is definitely one book for your manga art library.

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017*

Worth every penny! It's hard to find detailed books like this and the art is beautiful!The drawing and coloring tutorials lead the reader step-by-step through each process and tells them what should be focused on most, as well as the importance of details. There are different coloring techniques as well. This book it perfect for everyone, whether you prefer to draw on your computer or sketch on paper. It's great for beginners!

    Pretty good book
  

*by ♡***♡ on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016*

I will edit this review once I finish the book, but this is my initial assessment of this product.It's good but as others have said, I believe it's for someone with previous drawing experience. Not for beginners looking for helpful tutorials on creating their own characters. This is more like a study of the art style itself. While it doesn't have character analysis, it does have other forms of helpful advice and shown tutorials on how the artist created some of their characters. Steven explains that he asks himself questions about the character in order to make his initial sketch and move on from there.They dont go throughly in depth on character construction, but it's a nice book.Packaging want the best, but the quick shipping made up for that. Plus my item came thankfully without a mark.
