This book is perfect for magna and anime lovers. There are step by step directions for making bodies, eyes, expression, face shapes, etc. I enjoyed the poses and hair choices especially.

This is an okay reference book for how to draw manga characters that features cute exercises for beginners. The target audience is tween and teens and the focus is mainly on how to draw characters that fall into those age groups, but personally I did not find that they were that well differentiated. I wanted to see more diversity in drawing style - maybe a focus on chibi drawing too as it was mentioned a bunch of times in the book.

Some parts of it were quite repetitive with no need and some pages felt like filler pages. But overall it's not a bad drawing book for younger kids.

Absolutely loved by my daughter who has become. a little Kawaii obsessed in recent years (shes 10).

Watching her designs improve as she follows some of the hints and tips in this title has been great. Would make a great gift for tweens.

If you love cute, colourful animations and want to learn to draw, this book is a fun resource that you will refer to over and over again. It starts with the basics, shape and proportions, of the head. It then shows you how to give your characters emotions, and how to draw bodies and fashion. It doesn't go into depth, but it includes just enough information, and wouldn't overwhelm a beginner. It's best to have access to the internet when you are reading it because the online videos add a lot to the book, and they are convenient to locate by scanning the QR code included on the pages.

This how to draw book is very good espashly for someone at a beginner level wanting to draw in manga style. It has a lot of good information as well as some basic drawing like different months, eyes and how to draw hands. Would definitely recommend it to someone just starting out with Manga style art.

This book is very helpful in giving advice on how to draw manga characters. I can't draw well at all, b7t this book gives me hope to be able to at least draw better faces. It gives detail on how to do expressive eyes for both female and male characters. As well as, pointers on the full body drawings and clothing. Such a fun read.

A really thorough step-by-step guide to drawing manga characters. My almost 10 year old daughter is fascinated by manga and anime and this book gives her plenty of ideas to try drawing. Not only is there full manga characters to copy but also facial expressions, manga eye examples, mouth expressions and different facial angles. A brilliant book for young artists who want to improve their manga drawing skills.

This is a great little book to have if you want to learn how to draw manga. There is just the right amount of bite-sized and easy to grasp lessons to make sure anyone can start drawing without feeling overwhelmed.

I know I would have been thrilled with this book as a tween! And even now, it is a great resource to draw younger characters that actually look young, and not like squished versions of their adult counterparts.

I would have loved some more male characters and female characters who are not as girly. And some of those braided hairstyles were gorgeous, so I would have liked a tutorial to draw them as well.

All in all, great book and very enjoyable. Thanks for the ARC!

I asked for this manual because my 7-year-old daughter is crazy about drawing, especially those cool manga characters. The book has easy-to-understand language and colorful illustrations that make it perfect for kids. It's packed with lots of useful tips too. My little artist gives it a thumbs up!

Both my Daughters absolutely loved this Manga book and have really enjoyed practising their drawing!

I've been looking for a great manga drawing book to purchase for my library and this absolutely fits the bill. It's super cute and easy on the eyes so I imagine it will be engaging for middle school aged kids (and other novice sketchers, of course). It walks you through each part of drawing a kawaii-style manga character, from different kinds of eyes to mouth expressions, hair, and more, including how each kind gives off different vibes and can be used to show personality. Love it!

This step by step guide is super easy to follow and so adorable! I didn't realize there was "how to" books on this website and as someone who always like to practice there drawing and different drawing types, it was fun to explore. Even my 9 year old daughter enjoyed looking at the instructions. She will definitely be using after me.

I thought this book was interesting, although it is very basic and it was very stylised to the artist. I think it does actually look really deeply into. How are you drawing and how it is very stylised and how different eyes in different shapes and how the portions of different things can affect how well overall image turns out and I think that is something that’s really important. I think there was a lot of fish or eight which is really cool and I also really enjoyed the general idea of all the different parts were 100% read more from this collection in the future

This is so cute, very informative how to draw characters. Can’t wait to try and start drawing characters myself.

This book is great for beginner artists. It gives you a bunch of tutorials to follow along that give photos as well as descriptions. It was very helpful.
