Okay, this book is awesome!
It cuts right to the chase, with tutorials on how to draw diverse body types and face shapes (which I found really helpful as I really struggle with realistic proportions and variety), poses, clothes...
Another thing I really liked was the drawing style, which is consistent, detailed and also fun and filled with personality, certainly something I want to channel in my own art
Would definitely get a copy of the book to use as reference, particularly when delving out of my comfort zone with character designs

This digital ARC was obtainable via NetGalley for an honest review!
This was a very good tutorial book even though I was only able to see a portion of it. The art style and drawing examples were helpful!

This book has a bunch of lessons on how to draw anime. I love how it's mainly pictures instead of a bunch of words it makes it much easier to follow along. This book will be very helpful for beginners and any other type of artist that will love to learn to draw anime.
