My Review:

This is my favorite art book I have read so far! I absolutely am in love with this art. Especially that hair! Can my hair be awesome like manga characters????? This book had awesome techniques and instructions on how you could try to draw this type of art yourself.

The cover is awesome as you can tell! The colors on it drew me in! I actually liked reading about each of the pictures. Sometimes when I read non fiction type stuff, I forget what the crap I read and will have to go back and reread. Most of the time I still don’t know what I read lol! But each paragraph was pretty interesting on what the author was talking about.

Even if you aren’t into manga, because I sure am not (but I have always liked the way the characters looked), you should check this book out!
