Author Christopher Hart does a fantastic job rolling a semester’s worth of art classes into one easy-to-follow training book. Artists of any style trying to broach a new realm of art face inherent challenges. It is even more difficult for those just learning, or with little talent, to compose a decent replica of art with few steps.
Xtreme Art Ultimate Book of Trace-and-Draw Manga proves to be a gentle guide in exploring the plethora of manga’s essential techniques in drawing from basic to advanced levels.
Manga runs in the same family of anime art, with people and characters using much of the same Japanese animation-like features, but its popularity began after anime and the style is identified as different among fans. In terms of drawing, manga presents an easy and enjoyable style to learn. With a simple change here or there, everything about the subject matter can be successfully transformed and almost all have the same foundation.
When the basic lesson of drawing a character is grasped, the continuing — and more complicated — lessons build smoothly on the foundation now acquired. Artists of all ages, styles, and levels will find this book a great learning utensil to explore the world of manga and see where it can take them.
