Manga for the novice 22 April 2008
Format:Paperback
I bought this book fully expecting your usual how-to draw book, that might tell you a lot or show you lots of pictures, but never fully explains how to get to the final drawing. Luckily I was wrong. This is a really good book for beginners, as Ben takes you step-by-step through drawing facial features, body parts, full figures and costume. He has a lively and engaging style which is full of enthusiasm for the medium, and he also includes a section at the back about colouring your designs using Photoshop.

Highly recommended.

Excellent book 12 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
This is the best Manga book I have seen (and I have ten of them). Ben Krefta uses simple step by step instructions to take you through the enitre drawing process.
If there is one Manga book to buy to start off with then this is the one.

Format:Paperback
This book defiantly set me back a bit as wasn't expecting too much from it at first when I bought it. As I bought several different books and this one wasn't the one that I thought I would learn from the most in the sense of How To Draw. (Well what Can I say I was wrong lol) I rate the book 5 Star.

To begin with and as one might expect the book starts with how to do the basic's then goes into how to do more complex tasks such as drawing body's faces and things such as equipment and other more complex tests. Quite easy to pick up the style of drawing from this book defo good book for beginners and I defiantly recommend this book for any manga or anime drawer Adv or beginner level. 5 Star all the way.
