Product type: How to Draw

| "Manga Bible" is a series by leading pros in the field, aimed at artists who want to add more punch to their comic art. Not a "how to draw" as much as it is how to make your work more dynamic, each volume in the series takes a look at a particular problem and attacks it from various angles, addressing the problems in making good manga and how to overcome them. Filled with tips, including use of materials, it also has "practice pages" so you can use the ideas expressed in the book and try on your own. The art in the book is created by "the Pencil club" giving a variety of styles for you to learn from as well. The third book in the series is written by Tsukamoto Hiroyoshi and Mayama Akihisa and is dedicated to the problem of character designs, specifically giving each and every character a unique and individual look. Many beginners make the mistake of creating designs where differences between characters is merely a small change in hair style, creating a comic where everyone looks the same and has no dynamic. Creating new characters requires examining all parts, including the shape of the face, body, stature, and this book takes a look at how you can make your characters come to life with their own uniqueness. Separate sections are given on the head and body, with hundreds of explained examples. There is also a very lengthy section on panel making, and how to use different kinds of panels to effectively tell your story and develop your characters. Finally, there are 7 pages of line drawings on Kent paper to allow you to practice the different character design techniques you have learned. An essential book for aspiring manga artists who want to learn more about how to make their art come to life. (Japanese reading ability is essential to be able to understand the written tips, but many of the illustrations speak for themselves). 216 pages plus 7 pages of Kent board. Perfectbound, 7.25" x 10".
