Review: ...Now to the book. if you think this is a book that will tell you just how to draw pictures,well your wrong.The book teaches you how to draw more than just pictures. it teaches you how to draw deformed girls and Really (really) pretty girls(and much more). If you are hardcore (like me) or not,I reccomend getting this book. There is nudity in it but only in part of it.Now for the downfalls.As i said before, it does have nudity.The book is also geared toward better drawers .Overall this book is definely a good,solid title.

You need to know how to draw the body. Period.I bought this book in hopes of learning female anatomy a little better, but they don't nesscessarily have that. However, they have tips, tricks, and how the body should be shaped. They help with angel wings, anthro people, how to take off clothes (this is where you need to beable to know how to make an intermediate or advance body). It helps you with eyes, and the poportions of the face. Not that much on hair though. So, this book pretty much is just a refrence book if you need help with mecha, anthro, angel, and mermaid people. Or overall bishoujo. x.X;

Review: Bishoujo (pretty girl) is excellently described in this volume and techniques for achieving it in your drawings are provided with lots of helpful examples. It includes instruction how to cue the cuteness of your characters in their appearance and actions. The reason is simple: cuteness really is the secret of Bishoujo and this book describes very well how to express that in your characters. These techniques go very well with the techniques also shown in the related book: How to Draw Manga: Pretty Girls. Having both in your library is a must.

Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Pretty good... Review: Female Manga characters are everywhere, female manga artists are few and hard to find. Basically, this book was written by guys for guys.
It's fairly useful for drawing girls. It has excellent sections on drawing bodies, expressions poses and clothes. Some of the content I will never use (because I don't draw soft porn) would be the how to draw breasts squished up on tables, under arms, in clothing and the section devoted to characters removing clothing and bathing/showering. This book is sad. But only compared to its counterpart "How to Draw Male Charactes which strangely enough doesn't show you how to make guys look like they are removing their clothes or squishing their *ahem* in to various positions. If I ever become a reknowned manga artist I promise to release a tastful how to draw girls book... or at least a how to draw males book that matches its female counterpart.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Easy to Learn Review: How to Draw Anime is a good learning tool for anyone who wants to start drawing anime. It goes into details about how to draw the face, body, and other trace parts, to show the best example of a bishojo. In each step it tells of how to do the part and gives a well-drawn example. But some things are left to be desired. There are no sections on the most intimate details, such as the feet and hands. Plus you need to have some prior illustrating techniques to really understand this book. And in certain parts it goes into too much detail (I think the lingerie part should have been taken out). Buy it if you need to learn how to draw in this style. But do some research on the subject first.

Some adult nieces of mine, however, saw the book and were very concerned that I was giving my daughter pornography. I don't see it that way, but parents should read Mr. Romano's review in this section....he details some of the more risque poses to be found, and I think parents should be aware of these before buying. My daughter loves this book, and we have discussed the pictures in question. I've also instructed her not to take it to school, because it could be misinterpreted. The photos are definitely "sex-kitten"ish, which is not something I want my daughter to think is OK.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: One Of The Most Excellent Drawing Books Available Review: I have many drawing books, all helpful, but this one has to be the best I've got. It's got great detailed sections on faces, hair, eyes, bodies, clothing, etc. It even shows different bishoujo themes like school girls, nurses, etc. My favorite part of this book is the "Out of this world" section where there's amazing examples and tips for drawing wings, mermaids, robot girls, cat girls, other animal girls, etc. Every page has great examples and tips to go with them. It's easy to read and definitely helped me improve my drawing. If you like bishoujo style you'll LOVE some of the pictures in this book, they're incredibly cute!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: perfect for drawing manga Review: I hope I can write a reveiw of this book in less than 1000 words! This is a great book for manga, the out of this world part is awsome, especialy the aminal/ person thing, that helped me think out of the box. A lot of my freinds say it's sick and wrong because of some of the naked shots.... but it wouldnt be as helpfull if it didn't have that part. over all, this really helped me in my drawings. It helps if you have slight experience, it will make you perfect at drawing girls in what ever environment you need! even if you're an expert, this book can still help.
