If you've ever thought about how manga artists can convincingly take a the human form from its photographic realism to the super-deformed versions we see, and keep their character still so vivid, natural and charming, this "how to draw" book was meant for you. Starting from the basics of actual human anatomy, the book takes you step by step in showing the helpful proportions of reality and how those can be altered for dramatic, comedic, or moe effect. An amazing tutorial that challenges conceptions of manga as without basis in fundamentals of anatomy - for those who believe in grasping the basics before moving in a more fanciful direction, or for those trying to make their chibi characters look more realistic, this helpful instructional book is for you. Packed with so many vivid illustrations that knowledge of Japanese is not necessary to learn a lot! B5 size, perfect bound, 128 pages, from Hobby Japan publishing.
