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 manga poses. I found this one to be so helpful because posing people has always been difficult for me and these tutorials provided great tips for making it easier.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for my copy of Learn to Draw Manga Poses for Kids by Yuyu Kouhara in exchange for an honest review. It publishes November 7, 2023.
What a fun book! I have a few children in my life who love to draw manga, and the story in this gives it an edge! This would make a great gift for any budding artist in your life!

Wonderful guide for kawaii drawing. I’m an artist and have wanted to expand my skills to this area, and I’ve found this really helpful :)

This book is beautiful! And unique! A book of drawing lessons that are presented as manga / graphic novel? I hadn’t seen one like that before. So, I say that’s truly unique! It’s like two books in one, first, it is an entertaining read because of the graphic novel format, and second, you end up learning how to draw something.
It will be a great addition to every young aspiring artist’s collection, there are easy step-by-step tutorials to create your own manga drawings. There are suggestions and ideas on how to make it unique, on how to add your own twists and personality to what you draw.

Learn to Draw Manga Poses for Kids is a cute illustrative book that teaches children how to draw in the manga and anime style. The book is formatted in a comic book style with characters interacting directly with the reader to teach them the basics of manga illustration. As an artist myself, I found the illustrations to be charming and easy to understand, with the book providing multiple examples of the principles it tries to teach. A great guide to anyone with a child who's eager to learn to draw in this style!
