Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Good Process with Lots of Character Examples
You're not going to be a master artist by reading this book, but here's what you can expect to learn.

The book has lots of great examples of all types of fantasy characters in different poses. The book walks you through a 6 step process for the characters:

Stick Figure - Work on the pose and proportions
Basic Shapes - Block out your character
Anatomy - Draw in the muscles

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book just don't expect to learn much.
I own all three books in this series and I was pleased with every one of them.

I must stress however that if you are seeking to learn how to draw then this isn't really a book you should purchase. They do go through various stages of each drawing with one or two comments but overall it isn't an instruction on how to draw manga.







Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Inspirational - Yes / Instructional - No

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not what I expected...

well then your wrong... its just like a cool coffee book with lots good illustrations.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Colorful and Descriptive
The illustrations are beautifully done and there are step-by-step instructions on how to draw each model. The only problem with this manual is that it only shows one model for each character type, a bit of a disappointment since the ones that I usually get 3 to 4 four each type, and that some of the costumes are a bit raunchy. Otherwise, very good resource for anyone starting out.
