Book Reviews of Manga For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
Book Review: My favourite manga tutor
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got several 'how to...' books about manga, and this is the one which has taught me the most.
I like the way the book is structured and paced. Anyone familiar with the '... for Dummies' series will be instantly at home as it uses the well tried formula of teaching in the vernacular with humour.
Sure, there aren't as many pictures to copy as in some manga tutor books, but the author explains the all principles and techniques you need to master in order to become a manga-ka (manga artist) in easy to digest chunks.
In addition to the technical instruction, there are practical tips and interesting historical/cultural sections which add depth and perspective to the subject.
Oh, and the author is one fine artist too!
In my opinion, this book is well worth the price.
