About this title

Synopsis

Anatomy and art combine in this incredibly detailed manga drawing guide that offers an in-depth look at the human body.

Manga artists of every level will benefit from this essential anatomical overview. Step-by-step instructions bring manga characters to life and provide a clearly defined and easy-to-follow art course on the human body. With more than 1,500 highly-detailed drawings and useful tips from a manga artist actually working in the business, this book is a self-contained art class in a single volume.

In this book, the body is covered head-to-toe—from various angles and positions with versions for men, women and children all provided. How to Create Manga: Drawing the Human Body is a must-have for budding manga artists and an essential reference for experienced artists looking to hone their ability to draw certain parts of their characters with greater accuracy.
