DESCRIPTION:
The author begins with several basic but alluring babes to get readers started--Schoolgirl, Princess, Geisha, Cat Girl, French Maid, Gothic, and others. Here are femmes fatales, bookish maidens, punk and hip-hop babes, and even grandma and teacher types. He presents each of them in a full-page, fully rendered illustration, accompanied by working sketches, character sheets, and detailed technical instruction on how to recreate the design. Students will also find advice on creating a useful work space for themselves, choosing and using their tools and materials, developing drawing and painting techniques, working digitally, and learning to render correct proportions, scale, skin tone, and foreshortening in figure drawing. He explains all techniques for both traditional and digital media, from creating black-and-white line art to adding color and screen-tone effects. Cartoonists, art students, anime artists, and computer game designers will find inspiration for creating fantastic female characters in this heavily illustrated book. More than 300 full-color, highly instructive, often provocative illustrations.
"Lots of Babes" according to Douglas R. Teener. Not only are there 50 manga babes, but there are tips on setting up your studio, a good list of materials, and books and videos of the best of manga/anime to review. The only problem as I see it is that the book is heavily oriented towards digital work instead of hands-on drawing. Each section (babe) has a particular set of tips, which are helpful, but it would have been better to have more of these, even at the cost of increasing the size and cost of the book. I would be willing to pay more for more advice.. Good for coloring Austin Book is pretty good, but the title is a little misleading. Notice it says DRAW and Paint.well pretty much it doesn't cover the drawing process at all.

Now coloring it covers a pretty good amount, and its easy to see how most of the amazing details we love about Manga inspired pictures are really just well placed shading and highlights. Kind of helps my art skill out a bit, but still book wasn't what I expected. So it's awesome to learn to color, terrible at . Cool pictures M. Hanson This book has alot of cool ideas for drawings that you can copy or use to make your own up.
Multiculturally neutral, the book well represents international styles, fashions, and trends of contemporary teen girls. The characters range from classic shojo-style to sexy uniformed schoolgirls, empowered career women, and pop-culture enthusiasts ("Representin' Reiko"—a hip-hop fan—or Ana, the punk rocker) as well as to vampires, beach babes, tomboys, and Goths. This title should be a welcome addition for art instructors, teen manga clubs, and libraries that have a strong manga/anime following.—Jodi Mitchell, Berkeley Public Library, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
