Pencils! Paints! Passion! The Japanese-style comic books known as manga
have a huge following in America. Chris Hart, author of several
bestselling how-to-draw books, now offers aspiring young artists a
complete course in the manga-romance genre. He shows how to create
classic manga characters: sweet-and-caring pretty girls with huge,
glistening eyes; exciting boy heroes, including handsome teen-idol
types, rough-hewn rebels, and young mystery men; girl comedy characters,
who not only provide laughs, but also help high school girls deal with
their insecurities; and many others. With thorough art instruction and
lots of ideas for story plots, this is an intriguing invitation to an
art form that anyone who loves to draw will find irresistible.
