What our customer's say!

"How to Draw Manga", I, myself, don't know much about drawing. I purchased this book as a gift for my stepdaughter and she loves it.

"A Good Reference Book Overall", First off, I have to say I was very impressed at the beginning of this book. The starting chapters, covering some perspective and posing, detailed skeletal and later muscular structures were very well done. The skull, hand and feet sections were in depth and very helpful and detailed.

However- when they started into full body poses I was remotely annoyed. Most of the poses and references they gave for men were in action. Throwing something, or starting to run- pictures that neatly expressed the male body in motion. That's all very nice and well, but I would have enjoyed seeing more relaxed forms as well. Not all my work and other people's work with men is drawn in motion! Quite a bit is still.

And when we move into the woman, there's no action at all. Mainly references draw for woman who are stretching, or reclining and a lot of these poses are from 'suggestive' views. It's also slightly annoying to find 10 different views from which to draw a female crotch and the male subjects mysteriously elude this area. While we're at it, not all female's breasts are aroused 24/7. It's not truly necessary to draw nipples on every figure.

This whole extra fascination with the female body is perhaps more annoying to me then others since I originally got this book hoping for help on male anatomy- since if I truly need a reference for a female form I can simply go into the bathroom.

It would have also been nice to see more variations in the male/female models. In general a nice reference book, though it could have covered a lot more in some areas and a lot less in others.


"Excellent for Animation students", I've collected many anatomy books, but what makes this one unique is that it shows both the simple (shapes) and finished drawing in several camera viewpoints, and illustrates muscle changes (like when raising an arm), again both in simple (rough animation) and finished work. This is perfect for animation so we can study how the body shifts in a clean illustrative format. I particulary like how they illustrate the diffrences in gender proportionately. Made my life much simpler. Once you know how to draw the anatomy correctly yet cleanly, it's easier to adapt it to more complex or more cartoony forms. A must have!

"not really manga ", the artsyle on the cover is Extremely Missleading~!
It Will only show how to draw "realistic" style manga anatomy. The women model is also rather man-ish looking.
So its not what i expected at all and i'm kind of Dissapointed. There is also a very Weird p2 page spread of up-crotch shots that i can only imagine are there for H-manga refrences.

"How to draw manga", The entire experience was amazing. Shipped earlier then expected, in pristine condition, no hassles no worry.

The product itself is great. The guide truly helps with the basic structure of drawing characters anatonomically correct. It's always better to learn how to draw something right first and then learn how to break the rules later.

"Great Book for Everyone!", This book is great for beginners or those who want to touch up on their skills for drawing anime figures. The book talks about the measurements, anatomy, and characteristics of the body. Gives details for both male and female body types, and how they should look in every angle. Gives details on how to draw every body part and their size compared to other parts.

I like this book and it's a must have for anyone beginner or none studying to draw anime figures. I'm glad I purchased this book! ^_^

"very detailed...", i luv this book...it was exactly what i needed to improve my already ok sketches. since i am the type of artist who likes things looking life-like, i thought this book was excellent w/ proving tips on muscle and bone structure. i now see that my drawings look better and more impressive than b4. but enough about my drawings...

i dont know how helpful a beginning artist might find this book, but i will say that it is a good reference book. it has many drawings of the front and the back...a hard to draw side of the human body. they are sitting, standing, throwing,...even a small bit on doing splits...i enjoy that section when drawing faeries. it has a decent amount of male and female drawings and a lot of poses i havent found in other "how to draw" books.

i do have a few complaints, though. i was not real happy w/ the woman drawings...they had detail on there that they (4 some odd reason) omitted when drawing the men. they can cover up the guy parts but they had to show the nipples on the woman, didnt they? yes, that is all normal and you see that if you are studying a live nude model in a class, but this is a drawing book! i would have liked them to omit the nipples and do what Tadashi Osawa did...just sketch the outline of the chest.

another thing that i didnt like was the section that showed you how to draw the crotch. i got absolutely no help from that section...plus i dont know who would draw that part up close (ew...gross). all i really got was how not to draw it in the form of a "v"...other than that, i skipped that chapter.

overall, the book was very good and very detailed with the muscles and bones, and how they moved and behave. i encourage people to by this book if they really want to bring life into their drawings. if you like this book i suggest getting others in the "How to Draw Manga" series...it is the ONLY series that i trust when drawing anime characters

happy sketching!!! :-D

"Great for reference", This book is a great anotomical reference, but be warned: some drawing experience is required (it's not for begginers). This book covers eyes, noses, and mouths, but none of them are manga-like at all! Also, almost every female model is naked (you will see "private parts")and there is a section on crothes(I am only telling you this as a warning, not to scare you off). If you can look beyond these complaints you will greatly enjoy this book. This book has many great sections, but if you are still unsure wether to buy it or not, you should read this book before you buy it.

"Great reference material", This book is perhaps one of the best books on how to draw Manga ever.. though honestly, the art in here could be used for drawing life-like people in any art form. Over 100 pages showing different muscle positions, skeletal structures, natural body movement patterns.. the list goes on. And yes, there's a little nudity, but let's be grown up here; those are parts of human anatomy too (even if the men in here wear underpants and the women don't). I have yet to find a book as in-depth or varied as this one. A must-buy for the beginning artist looking for good reference material, or even for the advanced artist looking to keep shart with some difficult positions of the human body.

"One of the few how to draw manga books worth purchasing", I'm not really to keen on the How To Draw Manga books. In total I have bought 4 of the How to draw Manga books, and I can honestly say that this is the only one I've ever gotten use of.

But this one is actually quite good in opposition to the others I own. Obviously, it's made to explain the anatomy of the muscles and bones of the human body, from head to toe, and overall it does a pretty good job at this. However it lacks at some points. For example some drawings seem kind of vague (especially the back views of the torso, which are just utterly obscure). Also the use of lines to define shapes instead of shadow make some of the illustrations seem far more complicated then they really are.

If you've been drawing for a while and you want to know more about the structure of the muscles/body then it's a nice book. Don't let the manga thing mislead you though, there is to little difference between the drawing of anatomy in anime and in real life to buy this one over other (perhaps better and more professional) anatomy books.
