Manga Art Secrets by Dalia Sharawna

Learn all you need to know to become a manga artist, including step-by-step instructions, practice exercises, and tips and tricks. With the popularity of manga-style art growing, its impact can be seen in films such as Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro by Studio Ghibli, among others. This is the ideal book to get started sketching manga, with step-by-step instructions for drawing the face, body, and positions, you, too, can draw in the manga-art style. Create a portfolio of drawings to learn how to draw figures in the style of your favourite characters. Each chapter concludes with a set of practice activities in which you are asked to trace or freehand draw subjects from previous chapters. You'll end up with a portfolio of sketches documenting your artistic growth. There's also an inspiring artists-in-residence section, where different artists share their manga-art secrets and show off their own work.
