Learn how to draw lifelike action figures in the classic Japanese manga style with The Complete Guide to Drawing Action Manga. Each chapter covers a different category, including action, martial arts, interacting, weapons, and reacting.
Perfect for beginners, this comprehensive guide covers over 40 action poses. It includes the basics — including physical anatomy, proportion, and perspective — as well as smaller details, such as hands, fingers, hair, and feet.
This book contains illustrations starting with a rough sketch outline followed by a highlighted manga drawing containing detailed annotations by the author, plus tips on the use of color and shading. Practice the techniques in the tracing section at the end of each chapter, and find a six-page comic strip at the end of the book for readers to fill in with what they’ve learned.
