The Master Guide to Drawing Anime: Expressions & Poses

👍 would buy again

My oldest loves drawing in the anime/manga style. She loves this whole series by Christopher Hart. She has four of them now and likes them all. She appreciated that this particular volume gave more detailed tips and instructions related to expressions and poses, which can be challenging for a budding artist to first master. Christopher Hart’s books are humorous and helpful. These books are pulled off our shelf often by my aspiring artist.

gret gift for those who love to sketch, easy to follow

I bought this and another, similar book from the same author for my niece for her 16th birthday. She’s really into both art and anime/manga, so I figured this would be the perfect gift—and it was. She was over the moon, asking her mom how I knew this was exactly the kind of thing she wanted. There’s a picture of her holding the books and grinning from ear to ear. I browsed the books before I sent them to her— and it looked to me like they were simple to use but incredibly comprehensive. Just from a quick browse, I would say this would be useful for anyone from ages 8 to 80 who’s interested in drawing and anime.

That is going to be very difficult for beginner drawers and you'll need to use different techniques to make it work
