Format:Hardcover
This book is brilliant, it teaches you stage by stage how to draw your characters and is superb for a beginner! I've previously bought the 'Monster book of Manga' you'll find elsewhere on Amazon, THAT BOOK shows lots of examples of the stages of drawing a character but NO instruction on how to draw them yourself, a bit disappointing! . I think once you've got the hang of it the 'Monster book of Manga' is a good resource and source of inspiration and is a good companion to this book, but get this book first!!

I've always avoided drawing people as best I could, getting the proportions all in the right place frustrates me so much. This book is one of the greatest things that has happened to me! It's taught me about faces, proportions, animals, creatures, backgrounds and more! If you're a begginer I definitely advise this book as it leads you step by step with detailed descriptions and diagrams.
