Not for the young, but important for the Pros
31 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Well, I've reviewed this book since I got it recently, and I do have to criticize it a little. Overall, the layout of the book is decent, but it unfortunately assumes the the reader is already acquainted with art in general, and manga in specific. To be precise, the author starts out strong, but dumps the reader into the artwork with little to no explanation of the female body beyond some generalizations. He does cover structure of the female body, and the rear of the book covers guidelines as well.
The artwork inside is above average, but looks hurried. In particular, some of the pieces of art look slightly out of proportion to the rest of the body. The author seems to take a point of view on drawing sexy gals from a sexual standpoint. People, this book is NOT for those under 13. And I'd have some trouble suggesting it to anyone not mature enought to realize this is an ART book, not a HOW TO DRAW SEX book.
Otherwise, this is a laudable effort. It covers odd or hard to draw poses not ususally covered in other books, and it also has a section on drawing couples. Women are drawn in an unrealistic, but commonly drawn, style. A large number of more adult manga and anime are drawn using similar style, so this is a good introduction to the genre of Ecchi or Hentai artwork. It also has application in other genres as well, so don't take it as a cheaply made book about how to make forgettable storylines or how to draw over-developed scantily-clad women.
Finally, a word of caution. As I mentioned before, this book deals with sex and sexual themes. Definitely not for minors. For anyone who is looking to expand their range of poses, brush up on new ways of drawing women (and some men), or even those simply hoping to broaden the range of their potential, this book will do nicely.

Looking past the... eye catching graphics, the lesson produced is pretty good quality

Before I say anything, NOT FOR THE CHILDREN! This book will teach you a lot about the anatomy of seductive girls, I am a pretty experienced artist and normally I go for more modest approach, but this book was the perfect tutorial for me as far as this genre goes. Not a beginner book, but if you know your material and can produce good pieces then this book is for you. And there was this very good mini comic through out the book, Anyone who is mature in the "field" will enjoy the story the comic tells as well

This book is useless as a learning tool.
23 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So based on the other negative reviews, I assumed that their primary objection was the lewd content: that there were sexually explicit poses and gratuitous depiction of female genitalia. And I was okay with that; I am a grownup adult person and I'm not going to be scandalized by cartoon sex happenings, I was interested in this book because I could stand to be better at drawing idealized pin-up ladies. And so I downloaded it to my iPad's Kindle app.
Lesson learned? Preview everything on Kindle before I pay for it. This book is a crime.
The artwork in this book is terrible. And I don't mean the content is terrible, I mean the technical execution of the drawings is just fundamentally flawed. You will learn nothing useful about how to draw women from this book. Legs are jointed oval shapes, breasts flat circles, the construction is slovenly, and none of the artwork in this book is informed in any meaningful way by actual human anatomy.
Avoid Let's Draw Manga: Sexy Gals. It will damage your drawing ability.
