The whole collection of 'How to draw Manga', is just well, great!! It combines all the thingd you need to know if you wish to draw as a Japnese cartoonist, or even if you wish to take a profession in that kind of thing. This book,beyond the basics goes well, beyond the previous book. It helps you give personality and style to your manga drawings adding facial expressions to the people you draw. There is never an ending to the ammount of special effects in the ways of distinguishing of male and female characteristics and backgrounds to help your drawings look complete and real. It and the others uses all the effects that my manga school offered when I was younger, which makes me wonder if I bought these books before I wouldn't have had to dish a load of cash out for a professional manga school! I would definatly recomend this to anyone who's interested the world of japanese art, and at a low low price of around £16-£19, you can't go wrong!! hehehe! Thanks for your time!
