Review by Library Journal Review

This guide by manga artist and instructor Petrovic' is packed full of step-by-step demonstrations addressing many aspects of manga. An introduction section provides historical background on manga and anime, including a brief biographical sketch of Osamu Tezuka, the "father of manga" and creator of Astro Boy. Exercises include drawing human anatomy; clothing and accessories, such as eyeglasses, umbrellas, and phones; and more fanciful creatures such as chibis. Issues of inking, shading, and using screen tone gradient sheets are all discussed along the way. The final presentation leads readers through creating a complete comic page. Fans of this manual can check out the author's highly viewed videos on YouTube, where she is known as Mistiqarts. VERDICT This accessible crash course will be appreciated by artists of all skill levels. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
