Review: Easy manga lessons great for the novice - Step by step guide to all things manga. This is a great book and starts you right at the beginning and for someone like me who loves drawing but doesn't have a particularly strong talent for it, it was great. Each lesson is laid out in an easy to follow step by step fashion. It's very visual lots of pictures taking you through each stage of the drawing and colouring. It's a very friendly and fun book to work with and has you drawing real manga style characters in no time. What I also love about this book is that it's teaching is fairly generic you're not being taught how to draw a specific character so the lessons can be transferred to drawing all the manga and anime characters I know and love. My drawing has certainly improved for it and it's always a good reference point when tackling more complicated images. You also have a section on layout, perspective,expressions and panels so for the those not just looking to get into drawing but also into full manga creation this is also a good place to start. So if you're looking for a book that's great for the novice drawer and is easy to follow this is certainly well worth the money
Review: AMAZING - This book is probably the best mange tutorial book i have ever read. its simple to understand. basic enough for younger people to use. and its got detailed step-by-step guides on how to draw; eyes, faces, babys, toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged adults and even old adults. i orded this book on the 6th of feb and im slowly working my way through all the tutorials step-by-step. what i end up doing is copying the first tutorial very closely then re-drawing it again but using my own style, different eyes, hair styles etc. so far i am very impressed with this book and is my auntie, the other day i went around to my grandma's house. packed with my sketch pad, pens, pencils etc, sat down and started drawing. then my cousins came over and wanted to have a go too, later that night i received a phone call from my auntie saying that my cousins where still sat at home drawing at about 10pm at night xD. anyway. back to the book.... what separates this book from other how-to drawing books is the fact that this is a real step-by-step book. in other books i have read, they show you how to do the face fine (eyes, ears, jaw, mouth etc) but then have a massive jump to the completed image with hair and all. what this book does it tells you to do rough guidelines for things like hair and creases, then to go over them later adding more detail and connecting lines. if you are interested in drawing manga and cartoony characters then this book is for you, if possible you should download the preview if you can but i can guaranty that you will not be disappointed and will end up buying this book anyway

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book
*by G***H on 9 February 2014*

I learnt of Mark Crilley from his videos on YouTube and was blown away by how good he was at illustrating characters on paper, plus the fact he was both a published author of his own manga and Mastering manga series was by far the most appealing beginner go to book for learning how to draw manga properly. It opens with a brief period on learning to draw eyes (a page is included detailing a lot of others eye illustration to emulate and develop your own take or twist on them, this is also included by similar pages on hair, hands, and feet) and followed immediately by drawing the entire face. It also details learning body proportions for all manners of possible characters and lessons on how to draw a fluent stride to create movement in the pages and the desired perspective to help make the drawing appear more lifelike. So far my drawings have benefited greatly from this book, as the basis of the face drawing facial placement can be transferred into fine art drawings, and bolstered my abilities in both art forms. I am working on integration between the two until I develop my own take or style on manga and illustration. This brilliant book is awarded 5 out of 5.
