each; an extensive array of "menus" of head and body types, outfits, and
accessories; and detailed, accessible, step-by-step demonstrations and
drawing exercises, making this the perfect reference for anyone who
wants to learn to draw anime. Plus, Hart showcases some of the best
anime artists in the world for this title--including Inma R., Tabby
Kink, Ayame Shiroi, Euro Pinku, and Tina Francisco. It's the guide every
would-be anime artist has been looking for!
Suitable for all levels, from beginners who are just starting to learn
how to draw anime, to advanced users who want to hone their skills, this

books are a perennial present to inspire young artists and a popular
gift for teens. There is no greater tool than an art book to spark
creativity, develop new artistic skills, and help kids and teens channel
their energy towards positive self-expression.
