Die Zusatzinformationen und die Einleitung in das Format Webcomic ist toll. Das hat mich sehr neugierig gemacht. Doch leider finde ich die Schritt für Schritt Anleitungen nicht so gut. Für mich hätte sie ruhig kleinschrittiger sein können, damit man die Figuren wirklich nachmalen kann.

I love the Learn to Draw books that webtoon does for the different webtoon comics. This one is for true beauty, you can learn how to draw this artist's style. It goes into a lot of detail and even shows you the different heights of the characters. Each of these books even includes bios for each of the main characters that you will be learning to draw. These books are done well!

Yaongyi explained so nicely on the variant expressions of her Novel True Beauty's characters. I really liked Jugyeong when I read True beauty and learning on drawing her from here is helpful. I always liked to draw since my childhood as a hobby but I never tried K-drama faces. In this short guide to art instructions, author gave a sneak peek into the making of the her True Beauty web-comic series. This story took astonishing turn when Jugyeong learned about online make-up tutorials, so it's creator Yaongyi decided here to give her readers an artistic advice on making of her character's identity.

Overall, this is a good guide on how to create webtoon comics if you have a story because Yaongyi described from faces to body-type to storytelling details to background ambience, everything in making here. However, I found very little details on making of faces but rest parts were all fine. I'll surely try now to create my own characters first leading to a story with them.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I was excited to review this book because I am trying to self teach how to draw. I appreciate the author including a character analysis section to help me get to know who I am drawing. This makes it more personal I feel rather than just drawing a random character. The step by steps are great and I am excited to get better with practice. Thank you for the breakdown on what tools I needed as well since I am a beginner.

This was a great guide to learning the characters as well as learning the basics of how to draw them. I'm not the best artist, but I was able to make a semi decent Jugyeong on my first try! Practice makes perfect, so I'll definitely reach for this again to learn more about drawing characters and features, and use the knowledge to learn to draw my own characters!!

I'm not an artist in any sense of the way. However, the book felt fairly beginner friendly. I can see myself attempting some of it. Never really paid attention to the makeup and accessory in terms of drawing until this book. There was a lot of attention to details.

Thank you to netgalley for sending me a copy of this book for review. I love the manga and decided to have a look at this book, I'm not a good drawer however this book makes it easy even for an amature drawer. However, my husband loves to draw and I showed him this book and he followed through it, he also loved it and was definitely better at it than me. Highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of the manga.
