Most of it just described Chibis and it felt like 1/2 of the book was pointless or; at the very least couldve provided more instructional content. A step-by-step wouldve been much better. I wasnt expecting a full-on from scratch how-to-draw-manga book; but I felt this could have dropped a lot in exchange for quick how-tos for eyes; clothing; and hair. A large portion of the book is reading.I would say save yourself some time and money and look at youtube how-tos for chibis. The best part about this book is the last couple pages where you have some fill-in-the-blank-type drawings waiting for you to complete them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good manual for beginners; at a good price.By JimmyExcellent manual for a beginner. It gives you easy to understand instructions on how to draw chibi faces; bodies and expressions. Also; gives good examples of the differences with regular manga. And even shows you how to make creatures. Touches the use of guidelines in the face and body; although not in depth. But it is good as an introduction. If after reading the book and doing all the exercises you decide not to learn any more; you didnt spend much in the process. But if you like manga; the chances are youll be hooked.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Adorable Drawing BookBy Jennifer TaylorI purchased this for my God Daugher and she just loves it. Does find it hard to learn to draw the characters though. She has another book by this same author and found it easier to learn to draw the characters.
