Well-balanced, approachable guide to drawing manga--better than the rest!
Mastering Manga by Mark Crilley is a balanced, easy-to-understand guide for anyone who wants to take up drawing in the style of Japanese cartoons and animation, whether they be an experienced artist already or just a beginner. I bought this book because I draw manga and have been looking for a decent guide to help me do so. The very first thing I read when I opened the book is the author's warning: "If I had to summarize my approach to drawing manga in just a single sentence, it would be this: Beware of the 'close enough' mentality... The only way to make an authentic manga illustration is to draw all the lines in the right place. In -exactly- the right place." After seeing so many popular books that claim to help people draw anime well--yet teaching them how to draw the human face and figure in a very American, "un-anime" way (I'm looking at you, Chris Hart)--I couldn't agree more. This guy has got it right. He asserts that manga must be drawn correctly in order to look right while allowing for individuality and creativity, then proceeds to teach the reader how to do so in a very approachable, encouraging way. He gives loads of examples of correct, creative ways to draw faces (eyes, mouth, expressions), hands, feet, action poses, and even settings--buildings, city streets, etc. and goes through each one in a step-by-step way, noting common mistakes that people make as well as ways to improve each step on one's own. The book is split into 3 chapters and 30 lessons about several aspects of drawing manga. The best part of all is that the figure drawings are all modestly dressed (but not so much that the figure is obscured or anything), which is a hard thing to come by in the manga drawing books imported from Japan. Not only is this a great book for any level of artist, but it's also a great book for any age, male or female, so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable in the least about giving it to my kids. So, whether you're getting this book for yourself or someone you know, you can be sure that this is an AWESOME place to begin drawing manga just as good as any manga-ka (manga artist) in Japan. I really can't find anything wrong with it!Read full review
