Product Description
Product Description
The thing that can make or break a manga is the expression of machines/automata. Those anime-like whirring and thwacking mecha sounds create real excitement. In this book, the basics from the first two books in the series are used in expressive techniques to create outrageous imaginary automata, cars, motorbikes, explosions, fires, imaginary animals, ocean waves, clouds and other effects.

Format:Paperback
I have found this book to be incredibly useful not only for instruction and assistance in manga techniques, but for design and illustration in general. It is very well put together, going from the basics right through to professional/advanced techniques, making it suitable and relevant to anyone.
The book's main focuses are on interiors/exteriors, machines and nature, but with loads of handy construction tips and examples along the way. There is also a section on creating a short manga story , which basically guides you through established comic book practice.
I thoroughly recommend this title to any one with an interest in comics or design in general, and it's a welcome addition to the series

VERY helpful book!
27 April 2003
Format:Paperback
I loved this book the moment I cracked it open. Lots of great tips on how to draw houses (inside and outside), trees, clouds, water, rocks, and all sorts of nature things that I couldn't draw before. I highly recommend this book to any artist. Some drawing skills are needed for this book to be very effective, though.

Backgrounds, mecha's, and manga creation
22 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
A complement to the earlier editions of this series, this book teaches you how to draw mecha's (daily machines), nature and animal characters, rounding off on how to put together a short story. There are helpful tips such as time-savers when drawing effective backgrounds even if there is less detail. The book is geared towards the aspiring mangaka, showing how drawings begin in sketches, inked, and toned in a step-by-step manner.
All in all, this book is more for the person interested in drawing manga. Not recommended for the average learner who just wants to draw manga style and not interested in creating a manga.
