[.ca] How To Draw Manga Volume 23: Illustrating Battles (ISBN 4766111478)

YO!! its Hella good ^_^:
I'm in the proces of making my own comicbook and this book helped me alot, for a person who never took a figure drawing class this book is great. It captures excelent posses and some odd junk.This book is realy good and I'm a picky moe foe and i like it aloooot.ok I hope this was helpfull to you cus i realy have to go to the bathroom, but I typed this long paragraph.

Very Useful:
This book is for more advanced artists wishing to expand their skills to fight scenes. It shows both battle technique of various styles and the resulting injuries given. It is particularly useful in that it doesn't hold one's hand, but just give guidelines and examples.

One of The Best Manga Books:
I am a person who,has the talent to draw well, likes to draw, but has some trouble drawing Manga-style. These books, from the batch I ordered, are pretty helpful, you just have to add your talent and practise and you will equal a good artist. I ordered this book from this website and I was not disapointed. This is a great and unigue book.I don't think there might be anything like it or close to it again(except probably for HTDM martial arts and cmbat sorts) but I haven't read that book yet. This book show you almast everything you need... from different types of punches to different and kicks and their effect depending on which part of the body it hits (This is very important and I never got this right before I got this book)to grabbing, throwing and detaining someone. There is even a part showing how to draw different slaps. To the end it shows how to draw sailor scout uniform battle (in other words girls battling in their school uniform). There is alot of information packed into this book. Most of the characters are not drawn perfect like in some other HTDM books so you can easily apply the techniques from here to your own original characters but don't expect to learn how to draw a character from this book because this book is just for fighting reference! This book is a must have for anyone who want to learn how to draw fight scenes with manga characters or anything else along that line. I will also recommend this for the general manga artist who is still unsure what to draw next.

I'm an animation nut:
I think this book would prove useful for flash animators. If you want to animate some cool fight sequences this book will provide a good reference. The art being fresh and inspiring to artists and animators a like enjoy.

Great for artists.:
This is a great book. One of my favorites. This book shows many different fighting styles, and how a fighter would react to certain moves. I'm makin my own comic series, Gladiator. And I'm having trouble holding out a good fight scene; especially since I'm goin to make a 3-part issue that is just one huge fight. So I needed help. And I came to this book. And it covers a section of women fighters and how they would react. That helped me greatly since I'm a male artist, and I can't draw women too good; making a stretch putting them in fight scenes. And there are two women in my superhero team. When I draw a women in a fight scene they look like men. But this book helped me a lot. Though if you are a beginer to drawing, I wouldn't recommend this book. It's too complex. And that's where I demoted one star. This book is great for: American artists who are approaching anime art styles, anime artists, and artists who just want to approach a new art style. This also makes a great gift for the holiday rush.
