 Good Pictures, Good for Drawing July 11, 2010
Jessila (USA)
I will make this short and sweet. If you want to draw Manga characters, and you mostly like to draw women, then this book is perfect for you. If you are an artist/good drawer and want to learn how to draw Magna characters, this is good for you. If you are a total beginner, then I would get another book as there are not many step by step pics.

So you're interested in learning to draw those awesome beauties so common in anime and manga but can't find a local master to teach you. Flying to Japan or Korea is out of the question as well, so what do you do?
One option is to purchase nifty "How to" books from sites like Amazon.com. Unfortunately, you won't have any idea of how good the book is until you open that package from the shipper. The quality of any genre of art book varies widely. Some assume much more skill than the average Otaku can manifest on a good day. Even a good book art book is of limited value if it's not the right book for the individual aspiring artist.
Fear not. Having purchased a number of books on the topic I feel qualified to recommend MANGA MANIA: Bishoujo by Christopher Hart. From the very first page you will be lead through the process of creating beautiful, alluring female figures with little more than basic art tools and modest talent. Christopher Hart avoids the temptation to show off his own artistic talent while talking down to the reader/student. Instead, he walks you through the process of character design. With clear, step-by-step illustrations you see the character come alive. You deal with not only eye placement but expression. The famous eyeshine and shadowing details also come into play as you decide which technique appeals to you most. Along the way, the author imparts history and cultural influences that have shaped the manga culture we know today.
You might go on to buy other Manga art books afterwards to refine and define your style. But start with this one.

Christopher Hart once again delivers wonderful instructions for the begining and advanced artist who wish to polish their craft. Drawing beautiful Manga characters is hard, but this book breaks down the eliments of the manga female so that she is more easy to understand.
