Good Points: It was really helpful when I started to draw because it keeps things nice and simple. It gives you a reason to draw the guides to outline what you want to draw.
Bad Points: After you get better at drawing it doesn't really help.
General comments: A great guide for beginners and people who are new to drawing.

Really i dont think they should publish books like this it gives kids bad habits in drawing (learning from a child who hasnt got the feature right kids copy that) theyre are books that will be much better to learn from.

This book is good for children who have never drawn manga before...But that's about it. Her style is terrible.
Coope doesn't mention a single word about the details of the eye and her eyes in general were bad. The hair looked unnatural and very spikey. Who seriously draws blush on their character all the time? All the noses were pitifully small, which would work for cute or child characters, but even adults had tiny noses. The instructions for the body are very hard to follow. I couldn't draw ...

I did not like this. Drawings are not good looking. Buy more expensive one and learn how to really draw manga.

If you want to learn how to draw Manga, Katy Coope is the only way to go!
They make it easy for you to understand and copy until your're ready to make up your own style.
Katy Coope has helped me more then any other book has, and I've tried a lot of books.

Essentially, Katy Coope's 'How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guidea' is a book for absolute beginners.
If you have never tried to draw an Anime character before,then this is a must buy.
However, if you are looking for something to improve on the skills you have, then this won't help.

I have read other peoples comments saying that How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide is rubbish. I disagree. Although it might not be the best out there for advanced drawing but it gives all the basics for someone willing to learn how. I have shown and recommended this book to my friends and they all enjoyed learning from it. I do suggest buying this book if you are interested in learning basics but don't expect much more that just that.

Katy Coope's general idea for the How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide book somewhat had to do with "style". And usually the anatomy was off, and everything looked horrible. I can't believe this was even published. Artists are not perfectionists, but they at least have some good knowledge about what they're doing, and how they're doing as an artist. She should also be thinking more deeply about whether to publish this rubbish and teaching little children to draw badly. It seemed more focused ...

Katy Coope, How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide is an absolutely horrible book. It may be good for little kids, but if actually want to be a good artist, don't buy this.

I saw How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide by Katy Coope at the book store, and I couldn't believe this was published. In some places the start-out is OK, but the execution is horrible. I've seen 12 year olds draw better than this. The examples are horrible and hard to follow. She also has no sense or appreciation for anatomy.

he How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide, by Katy Coope is a very nice book with very good instructions, which are not at all hard to follow. I have become fairly good at drawing using this book. I am still a beginner, but I owe all my drawing skills to this book!
It covers all the basics, and I think the author drew less than her potential, so that beginners could understand. Her actual work is MUCH better.

Katy Coope, How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide - When I bought this book, I wasn't expecting much, but when I started to follow the examples and explanations in here, I drew a good looking face, and I'm not very good at drawing. Today I drew a better face without having the book in front of me. I really like this book, it's great in my opinion, and until now I think it's pretty easy to follow Katy Coope.

Katy Coope, How to Draw Manga: A Step-by-Step Guide - At first, I loved how she drew. But once I saw other how to draw manga books, she was terrible. First,she made all her characters blush. She drew the eyes too big and the neck so small, that it could snap. Her hairstyles are too simple. She does not know correctly how to draw folds in clothes. Her hands are overly FAT and her characters clothes are too simple. For a beginner's guide, her directions on how to draw bodies was too difficult. ...
