The Complete Manga Pose Resource

Rating:
Summary: Nice Pose Resources!
Review: This is really a comprehensive “poses” resource book (see customers’ image) that has many different kind of poses and drawing examples. However, please note that the examples inside are mainly sketches and looks more like real-life pencil drawings rather than manga drawings. Regardless of that, the wide range of sketches in the book will prove to be a valuable resource on a variety of poses and actions.

The book features many different kinds of basic poses from sitting, standing, walking, lying down and so forth, and other than poses, there are also a few sections on faces, mouths, hands, heads and legs in a variety of angles and poses. In addition, there are also collections of drawings on babies, children and overweight people. The expressions section is also very useful as it portrays various emotions from joy, sadness, anger and even some monkey faces. Be forewarned though, there are some nudity in the book.

While I couldn’t find more dynamic action poses in the book, it must be taken in mind the limited space of the book. Nevertheless, it’s a good, practical resource of daily and everyday poses; all you need to do is to “modify” the almost real-life pencil sketches to your own manga-style drawings, and you're done!
