Read and reviewed by my 16 year old creative and artistic manga fan!
He LOVED LOVED LOVED this! He rattled off these things as his favourite points:
The opening is engaging - a good wee storyline that sets us up for the book done in the format of a real manga and gives a bit of inspiration from the very beginning
Really great explanations specifically in contrast and balance on each part you’re working on.

Explain hairline well shows the flow of hair and textures
Good explanations of posing encourages you to try out different methods
Explains referencing of loses really well, giving different options for getting the pose
Explanation of clothes wrapping around the body is really good.
Eyes eyebrows and mouth for facial expression,
Body language and showing expression with tears when rotating emotions in

This book is absolutely fantastic. It makes drawing manga seem so easy. It also contains a handy guide to the pros and cons of digital drawing and the tools you will need.

So this drawing tutorial is geared toward youth but as an adult I found it engaging and easy to follow in a way that I could almost perfectly replicate what was being taught.
This is a series of drawing tutorials and this one focuses on the basics of manga drawing. Very useful if you want to learn how to draw!

I really liked the book.
I appreciated having a story behind it and being able to receive advice and tips about manga in a manga way.
It covers everything from facial expressions to clothing, body and poses, to art materials to drawing traditionally or digitally.
The characters were super sweet and cute, and explained the foundations and then how they could be leveled up a bit more.
