The popularity of manga continues to row, inspiring interest in learning how to draw in this exciting style of comics. Estudio Joso creates the ultimate guide to illustration—384 pages of manga instruction. The Monster Book of Manga is divided into sections focusing on the most figures and themes—Girls, Boys, Samurais, Monsters, and more. Each illustration is broken down into six stages accompanied by step-by-step instructions, taking the artist from initial back-and-white sketches to the final color piece. They are all accompanied by practical suggestions, hints, and tips. |

A beautiful book on Manga ! |
This book is about many projects. Drawing girls, robots, heroes and everything else that is in manga. Every project is 4-8 pages long, in which each page is one step of the whole process. Beginning with very easy out-linings and sketches, and ending with the finished image.
Every page is art. The lines are very elegant, precise and beautiful. The pages are glossy. When it comes to a tutorial, this one and the others in the "Monster book of Manga" outshines anything else.
A must have for everyone who wants to learn how to draw. |

Very informative artbook.. |
|
I have been enjoying this book alot. it gives me quite abit of refs and it helps me out when I have projects due and I am stuck on a pose or having anatomy issues and need to freshen up on my art skills. I will admit though that this book is rather for someone who is intermediate in illustration not so much a beginner since there is alot of techniques that are kinda a refresher course for an artist not really someone who is just starting out in art. but all-in-all it's a good read. great for refrences^^ |

Lacking in its intended purpose |
|
While the art is great and it provides step by step instructions, the instructions are difficult to follow at a beginner or intermediate level. It's called 'draw like the experts' because you have to already be an expert to get much use out of it. It's a nice edition to by how to draw collection, but its more 'pretty to look at' that helpful. |

Good on its own - but worst in the series |
This book really isnt bad persay - however I HEAVILY recommend it's cousins
"Moster Book of More Manga:How to Draw Like the Experts" and
"Monster Book of Manga:Fairies and Mystical Creatures" edition.
I own the entire series along with roughly 8 other how to draw manga books and I am most impressed by the REST of this series. Not necessarily this book. The other three books are put out by Ikari Studios and you can REALLY tell the difference in the artwork. Its rich and colorful where the artwork in this book is good...however...it's not the best in the group.
My personal opinon is all. Overall the book is helpful but not a beginner book. More of a supplement. |
