How To Draw Manga


PHS763 Super Manga Design ~ Super Perspective Drawing
Number in stock: 4 Weight: 900 g. Price: $32.00 Product type: idol magazine
There are many books out there about drawing, but "Super Manga Design" by Graphicsha (the publishers of the famous "How To Draw Manga" series) takes it from a design perspective, in particular an anatomical perspective that is meant for artists looking to expand their abilities. Like a cross between figure drawing and manga art, this book explores the concept of perspective, dimensions and proportions with hundreds of sketches and explanations in Japanese. Tips from the pros are interspersed, with ideas on how to think about drawing rather than just doing. One of the highlights of this book is that it also spends time with point of view angles, buildings and settings to create depth of field. An excellent book for those who are looking to go beyond their current drawing ability. 184 pages, softcover, Japanese language. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)
