Manga Mania Shoujo Sketchbook

This sketchbook from best-selling author Christopher Hart's Manga Mania series is perfect for any shoujo fan or budding artist interested in learning how to draw in this popular manga and anime style. Of all the forms of manga, shoujo is the one directed almost entirely at girls. Many-though by no means all-of these stories focus on romance, have flowing, very pretty art, and highlight characters with youthful charm and huge, glistening eyes. This sketchbook will attract a huge audience eager to find out how to draw key elements of the style and it will give these fans a place to practice their newfound skills. The first part of the book gives step-by-step instruction and teaches readers how to draw a "pretty girl" head, a Shoujo boy figure, beautiful Shoujo eyes, the most popular manga hairstyles, stylish outfits, and Magical Girl characters complete with monster mascots. Artists can then use the high quality paper in the second part of the book to put these lessons to use and hone their craft, making it the perfect gift for beginners and shoujo fans alike.
