Seriously?

I rarely give my opinion, but I'm so disappointed by this book that I had to avoid other people who think they're getting their first experience of manga drawing being so disappointed.

I'm a designer and I wanted to get some ideas for a new course about manga style.

I've read the whole book and can't see much any link with the manga.

This book is a stack of all the basics of drawing, lines, colours, anatomy, etc, etc. But each theme is covered in two pages and often in a totally empty and hollow style.

I don't understand the point of this book, it doesn't do anything for manga and even less for drawing.

I'm very disappointed that 3dtotal have produced such a poor book.

We are sorry that you did not find the book useful. We hope that we have made it clearer that the book is aimed at a younger audience, beginner artists looking for a fun introduction to drawing manga, without necessarily having access to expensive tools.
