Title: How To Draw....Well Crapy
Product review: Hmm... lets see here, I saw this book lying around a friends house and after thumbing through it and came to the conclusion that this book teaches young children how to draw poor, disproportioned, unimaginative, trite, and frankly crapy manga or anime. I myself am an artist having taken Art AP for two years (this year is my second :P) and sold a number of pieces while still in high school so I do know what I am talking about. I paint realistic watercolors mostly (I love Alan Lee's art) but I do enjoying drawing manga let us face it, its fun. However, manga art can be extremely creative and individual if you just learn the basics and then let your own artistic skills and creativity developed a unique style. Books such as this one that put children in a box and teach them to draw cookie-cutter manga should be burned Fahrenheit 451 style. Instead, for the aspiring young cartoonist a broad guide likes how to Draw Manga vol.1 and let your mind run wild from there.
