In this Manga Mania edition, Christopher Hart, author of several bestselling how-to-draw books, now offers aspiring young manga artists a complete course in the romance genre. Hart’s step-by-step instruction allows even inexperienced young artists to try their hand at creating archetypes such as bishounen boys and shoujo girls.
He shows how to draw a variety of classic manga characters: sweet-and-caring pretty girls with huge, glistening eyes, exciting boy heroes, including handsome teen-idol types, rough-hewn rebels, 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.
