Christopher HartMaster Guide to Drawing Anime: Amazing Girls: How to Draw Essential Character Types from Simple Templates – A How to Draw Anime / Manga Step by Step ... Master Guide to Drawing Anime) (Volume 2)

I purchased Master Guide to Drawing Anime and it has become an invaluable tool for improving my drawing skills. The book is well-organized, with clear step-by-step instructions that make learning how to create dynamic anime characters easy and enjoyable. The illustrations are inspiring, and the techniques taught are practical and easy to follow, whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills. I appreciate the variety of tips on anatomy, expressions, and poses that help bring characters to life. Overall, this guide is a fantastic resource for anyone passionate about anime art and wanting to develop their own unique style. Highly recommended!

Just look at how good my daughter’s skills have gotten, this book is great! Even for beginners

I bought this for my granddaughter who spends a lot of time drawing. She loved this book as did her friends.

This is great, and it really helped me draw. I already posted a review, but apparently it won't let me only write "yep". Point is, great book, you should buy it.

Overall this book is great. However I personally consider it more of a reference book than a how to book. It doesn't really "teach" you anything. It just shows pictures of anime girls along with the construction shapes and then basically expects you to draw it yourself. Which is okay for Advanced-Beginners and intermediate artists but I wouldn't recommend it for absolute beginners.I find all the art to be top notch however I find the examples in the first part of the book(up until page 86) significantly better than the second part of the book. You can tell that the artists that Mr. Hart commissioned for this book are experts in drawing anime and know what they are doing - I am very impressed by their work. In fact out of all the american made how to draw anime/manga books This one and a few of Chris Harts other recent Anime books, feature Anime characters that are the closest to the type of you'd find in actual Japanese anime. Many other american made how to draw manga books(including some of Mr. Hart's older books) feature art that is Americanized and/or poorly drawn and doesn't compare well to authentic anime. The authors of these books often think all you need to be "Anime" is big eyes. It is refreshing to get a book that features anime character's that look very close to the ones you'd see on TV or Crunchyroll.Again this is in excellent book for references and for practice but to learn the basic techniques and skills of drawing for absolute beginner's I'd recommend Mark Crilley's "The Drawing Lesson".Overall I consider this to be an excellent book and earns my recommendation. The artists who did the art for this book did an amazing job and I commend them on their work.

What I wanted, gives a good outline on how to build up the female characters and give you a good idea on body proportions. Clothes that the characters are wearing are things you will have to eyeball if you also want to draw that too. Would recommend getting for helping figure out more dynamic poses.

I really like this book, it can be a good kick start to drawing anime. I used it to learn proportion. Im an intermediate artist, still learning. But this is a great book to learn how to draw anime girls, the instructions are easy to understand an follow.This photo I attach is something i drew, not from the book, but from what i learned from the book about facial proportions.

This is an awesome book. Really high quality pages and examples, the pictures and colors are amazing!This is my first manga instructional book and it will not be my last. In fact, I received another Christopher Hart book just yesterday, even though I still have much more to learn from this book too.I went from not being able to draw manga, to using the tips provided, and now I am just starting to sketch out my own characters based on what I’ve learned. Which is why I bought the book in the first place.
