Manga Drawing Deluxe

This book is filled with amazing art! This is an exceptional book on the art of Manga drawing. The attention to detail and the tips are fantastic. The tutorials on how to properly draw faces and hair are amazingly well done.

It details that even the most basic drawings and how they need details in the flow and direction (of the hair) to make it feel and look more realistic. It also details that in action scenes one must pay attention to how real hair would move to make the drawings more convincing. Every section in the book has tips like this from age, eyes clothing everything is covered.

I love this book and I highly recommend it if you are interested in drawing manga art.

I received this book from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing - Rockridge Publishing for an honest review.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is jam packed full of amazing ideas, information and detail, it is a fantastic guide and out of all the manga drawing books I have read and reviewed this one has so far been the most in-depth and informative by far.
I loved the way the book starts with two manga characters (a girl and her brother) who are shown how to draw Manga by two chibis. It was a unique introduction and I loved it.

Out of all the "How to Draw or Create..." books I've read, this one definitely has the best detailed breakdown of the manga creative process. I especially enjoyed the breakdown of space, lighting and visual perspectives. As someone who has freelanced in the manga industry for the last decade, even I learned some new techniques and a better understanding of that creative process.
Thank you Yazawa-sensei for letting me review your book.

Manga Drawing Deluxe is, hands-down, the best manga drawing book of all those I've read in the past year since I became interested in learning how to draw manga-style characters. This work has a lot going for it. To begin with, I loved the way the information was given in the form of a manga story as we follow a young girl and her brother learning to draw manga with help from two cute chibis. The detail included in this book is amazing. As well as in-depth look at character design, with reference to an understanding of anatomy etc., the book also covers creating storyboards and adding backgrounds, special effects and dialogue. I enjoyed this book so much and appreciated all the great tips packed into it that I have added it to my TBD wishlist and intend to buy a copy to keep on my shelf once it releases. It's definitely a book I would want to refer to again and again as I try to improve my manga-drawing technique.

This truly is a deluxe book...probably the most thorough I’ve seen lately. I particularly like that the lessons are shown in examples. Definitely aids in visualizing the steps.

Every manga or anime fang wanted to draw their own characters or re-draw their favorite ones. In this book the author describes how to draw your own mangas step by step and with example pictures wich are also described in detail. It starts by only drawing faces and ends with doing whole pages of mangas, including the speech bubbles.

Opinion:
In my opinion it is a very well structured manga drawing book that starts from the beginning and ends by doing your own manga. The descriptions are not too hard to understand and also the example pictures help a lot. I tried some of the drawings out and it went very well. Actually, I think that I'm gonna use the book a lot because I'm a huge manga and anime fan and I wanted to draw like this for years.

Conclusion:
All in all, this is a well and understandable written book about drawing mangas. For each manga and/or anime fan it is a must have. So, I would definitelly recommend it!
