Hooray for Hand-Made Manga! I love this book because it has actual colored-pencil drawings for illustrations. Seems logical enough...but most manga/anime drawing books feature computer-colored illustrations that although they look great, do not truly represent what a reader of the book will be able to achieve on their own. There are no better tools for becoming a better manga artist than a good ol' pencil and paper. Author/illustrator Katy Coope, a self-taught manga artist, backs up this theory with lots of detailed drawings showing readers how to build drawings step-by-step. This book focuses on chibi-style, cute manga characters in a rich, multi-toned illustration style. And its all real! Note to parents: Published by Scholastic and distributed via schools, the book is especially "safe" content for young people, as is not always the case with books on this subject! |
