Summary: Decent enough beginner's guide to characters
Review: This is a SCHOLASTIC version intended for young anime/manga aspirants. It does an okay job going through the basics of drawing characters, then adds a little about setting and a couple pages about art supplies. Looking at it in terms of it being aimed at young kids, it works pretty well: the author patiently goes through the steps of drawing heads, adding expressions, buidling bodies, but doesn't bog down in the true technical details which might swamp a novice or young reader (like tones, and advanced technique).Her own illustrations are all done in colored pencil, which lacks the glossy completeness of paints. Keep in mind though that this is a kids book; thus they are more likely to have colored pencils or crayons to use. And they won't be so intimidated by all those pretty professionally done illustrations which so few people tend to point out are actually done by TEAMS of people: penciller, inker, colorist, etc. By sticking to pencils alone, she shows what a person on their own can do. And her pencils are pretty good as it is. In the end, I own a number of how-to-draw books and for the price I'm definitely glad I added this one to the collection. Her discussion (breifly) of short little "chibi" characters alone added a new dimension to what I'd already known. The only reason I didn't rate it as five stars (*****) is I tend to be conservative; most of the time I blow over high rating reveiws because they are usually stuff and nonsense. Not to mention this isn't a perfect book for anyone, although I enjoyed it.

Summary: wow !!!!!!!
Review: this not very complicated manga but its good for a begginer but even i still use it .Okay remember those books that you'll draw manga like a pro in 10 secs but those are the books that say that there are step by step guide to them but there isn't but the katy coope ones do have step by step guides to them and i think that it's easier to the little little kids .

Summary: How to Draw Manga
Review: This the best manga book I've ever read! Seriously! 2 years ago, someone bought the book from Scholastic. I thought the book was a stupid book before I read it. Once I read the book, I wanted the book so badly! I don't have the book, but I'm getting the sequel: How to Draw More Manga, because I saw how good the first book was, so I'm definatly getting the second one. Buy it, or regret it! Literaly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Wow stick to Manga!
Review: Well I would just like to say,I'm quite impressed.Well you see I use to draw stick figures,now I can draw otaku art!(Fan art) I mean I've only had it for a day and I'm doing more then great. The author goes through it step by step,foucses on one thing at a time,face to facial experssions its here.My personal favorite is how she added chibi charecters.(Small big eyed..Well you know!)
It first covers getting started,then switches to Faces.The great thing about this is that the author takes diffrent angles.Then to expressions,bodies,finishing touches,and last materials.
Now the only reason I gave it four and not 5 is,this book is ONLY for begginners.Although intermedaite might find it ok,beginners will love it.
Final thoughts is,pure goodness.If you think "How to draw books" are very unusefull,not this one,trust me. If you didnt find it usefull go ahead and mark my review wrong,I will stay true to my opinion. Have a nice day.

Summary: Really helpful
Review: Well, I'm pretty young right now, but I thought I might have a future in cartooning. So I bought some how to draw, books. well, I have to say, this book really was helpful in teaching me beginning manga drawing. It shows the basics and what you can draw using pencils. I really liked it and it helped along the road to cartooning a lot. I may buy a more advanced book later, but this got me started. My advice is buy this if you want to learn to draw manga.
