How to Create Manga: Drawing the Human Body: The Ultimate Bible for Beginning Artists (With Over 1,500 Illustrations) (How to Create Manga Guides)

i am NOT good at drawing human beings. well, i was. most of the other drawing books i tried were really rudimentary and vague, but this one made it so easy to figure out how to draw people and make it look decent. although i will say, the way this book teaches you how to draw was written more for digital artists, so keep that in mind. overall, this is THE book for beginning artists 💕

As someone that's already been drawing for 5 years and was seeking to improve, this book has been super helpful. Lots of great tips for drawing anatomy here, I always struggled to draw hands and now thanks to this book they're nowhere near the obstacle they used to be. It even has tips for digital software you can use, 5 years doing digital work and I didn't know anything about clipping before this! I look forward for what else this book can teach me, only downside is that the pages were a little bent.

The instructions are easy to follow. All you need is time and patience. If you have those then this book will be of great use to you.

I like to do art in my free time and I think this book is helpful for those tricky perspectives. It provides opportunities for guided practice without having to create an entire art piece and I really like that. I don't know how much this would help a well-practiced artist as I find it most helpful for perspective and awkward body shapes, like understanding anatomy for dynamic poses. Would recommend to anyone trying to get a little better at drawing anime or cartoon style.

My granddaughter wanted to learn how to do body parts how to draw body parts so she requested this book for Christmas hopefully it will help her develop her sketching skills

It's so refreshing to actually read a drawing book that shows you each step and adds detailed instructions on how to draw. So many helpful tips on proportions and the body and how it moves and should be drawn, this book even lets you know common mistakes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I also have Matsuo's other book on how to draw clothing and the consistency with details they provide and the instruction is amazing. At this point, I will buy anything from Matsuo with Tuttle publishing, you guys are out here really trying to help artists!

this book is great worth every dollar.

Wow! this book is all that I can ask for. For years I've been looking for something to help me break down and memorize how to draw the human figure accurately from my mind. This book simplifies each body part (broken down into sections) and shows you how to rotate them accurately. I can't wait to get better using the material in here! My number one book right now.
