While it is not really for a basic beginner with no knowledge of drawing it is essential for people who have or know a little about drawing. It is not really a nessecity for one to know how to draw but get the basics of drawing in perspective. This book utilizes the fact that you are a person who has seen enough manga or has seen enough drawings to want to get started and shows in it's pages tips and skills about what is needed to how to draw basic figures. While most people with absolutly no background in anime/manga may find it difficult to pick up this style it is easier for those who have been immersed in it for a bit and wanting to know how they are drawn or how to get started. While I admit this book isn't for everyone, I would recommend this book to people who feel they are ready to start learning about the basic steps to drawing their first characters.

It's not one of the step-by-step guide kinda types, but it goes very in-depth about different inking pens, toning, backgrounds, ect. It's a bit complicated for very new artists, but, it could turn you from a new artist to a manga master! ~_^ it's helped me out alot
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Not really good for beginners Review: This book is not really a manga getting started book. I don't feel that it explains enough for amateurs; it doesn't have a step by step or enough explanations. This book could maybe help some of those that already got through the amateur phase, but if you're really a beginner I wouldn't recomend it. (...)Maybe after you have mastered everything in these web pages you could buy it.

It should not be labeled "How to draw Manga" because it doesn't teach you how to draw anything. I am no a manga artist but I would like to get started and I thought I would get this book because it was called "Getting started". I would not recomend this book to anyone. If I could, I would give this book no stars.

A lot of pictures and techniques and tips on how to draw Manga better. It also gives you an idea of how to create comics. All in all I thought it was very informative and helpful. For those who want to learn to draw Manga and are just getting started this is the book for you.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Quite Literally "Getting Started" Review: While some may jump to the conclusion that this book will immediately cover the greater mechanics and techniques for drawing in the Manga style, it is actually far from that. Rather, it covers the bare essentials for getting started, such as picking the tools and utensils needed, as well as how to use them, and other details like that. The actual portion dedicated to the drawing is very basic and not in depth enough to assist in full blown drawing.Still, it is very informative in the areas it does cover, and is helpful for "getting started". Just keep in mind that it isn't the best choice for merely drawing Manga, but rather a helpful guide to show you what is needed to begin drawing Manga.
