  It's a good reference and has a lot more than my other one I was kinda hoping it would have more on different styles too though

  Начал Харт очень бодро, объясняя простые, и в целом, общие вещи, касающиеся не столько манги, сколько рисования в целом, бодро накидывая своих рисунков на каждую страницу, а потом... а потом, кажется, его знания о манге и рисовании подошли к концу, а издателю надо было сдать 400 страниц. И последние 300 страниц книги он просто забил своими скетчами (странными) и рисунками (чуть лучше, хотя и на уровне - нарисуйте круг, дорисуйте сову - толку с них не очень много...). Я почитал в интернете, а он, оказывается, известный создатель книг из серии "как сделать". Т.е. не профессиональный художник. Профессиональный писатель. И многое мне сразу стало понятно. Удачи ему, и, надеюсь, со временем он научится собирать больше материала для своих книг чем на первую четверть.

  While this book covers some of the basic anatomy structures, it's quite biased in what style of anime/ manga you can draw. By this I refer to the 90s style. Granted, this book was published a while back and so doesn't have many of the upcoming aesthetics. The back has some examples of what you can draw but in general, it wasn't enough for what I'm after. I wouldn't go as far to say that it has everything you need to get started but it's decent, hence my 3 star rating.

  Buen ejemplo
  
  Buenas explicaciones, pense que habria mas tecnica , y esas cosas , es bastante ilustrativo , sin llegar a lo tecnico. Muy basico solo para darse una idea , de lo que es este modo de dibujo.

  Helped with manga sketches
  
  Great for beginners,especially ones that have never drawn. Everything is broken down into lines and shapes and built on that

  Everything You Need to Know and to Get Started Right Away
  Well if you’re like me and you can’t draw worth a whittle it makes you think you can draw by showing you detailed drawings of proportions and “how tos” I doubt if I could still do it but it certainly gave me an appreciation and understanding of Manga.
  
  If you are inclined to draw this book is great. Very authentic with tons of step by step instruction. It covers the basics like the manga head and body proportions (pg 14-25), brilliant eyes (31),hands, etc but a lot more. It moves on to costumes(59), action poses (69), special effects even staging stories in sequence. It also has popular manga characters.
  So a beautiful book to look at and draw from if you’re a beginner. A very detailed and explicit book if you’re more advanced.

  I have been intimidated by the art of manga, and this drawing guide was the best thing possible to help me advance in my abilities. Manga for the Beginner is very full in showing and explaining the steps in drawing different poses and face expressions. Also, this book encourages using movement of hair and clothes and perspective to make the drawing more realistic and exciting. I totally recommend this book for anyone wanting to get started in drawing manga.

  I really liked this book. It teaches the principles of general manga as well as how to draw entire scenes and sequential panels. It teaches you how to draw more than what is in the book. Just FYI by beginner, it means beginner in manga. It expects you to be able to draw decent lines and basic shapes.
