Katy Coope, How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide Review

Overall Rating

I've been drawing my own manga-style for seven years now, but it was Katy Coope who got me started. Manga isn't supposed to be an exact art; the exaggerations make it soooo fun! I always look at the "how to draw Manga" book(s) [there's two I know of] when I run low on ideas!

Ok, the continual blush does get a bit old, and this is not a book for people who want to draw real people. The tiny noses do get a bit irritating, too.

Overall, this is an excellent book for beginners and veteran-artists who are looking for ideas or have "doodler's block". The setup is very simple, and even I could learn it (I'm not good with how-to books)!
