The Manga Artist's Workbook: Chibis: Easy to Follow Lessons for Drawing Super-cute Characters

This book is fun but it is compiled slightly awkwardly. He goes over many different variations of types of chibis from hands to goths to animals; all very cute. He does a very good job explaining chibis and their construction. What I didn't like about this book was that their were conflicting skill levels. Some images required detail and an intermediate skill to draw. Then similar images were given with tracing paper. And then some more intermediate level drawings were given with their outline printed on the paper giving you a place to start. By intermediate level I mean that you have to have some drawing experience to copy the images and have them look good. The skill level this book is targeting is not clear. It is very well done and I highly recommend it but I think that Hart's first workbook was much better. I encourage beginners to get the book simply because chibis are not overwhelming, even though the pictures are more for manga artists with a little experience.

This is amazing. I've been wanting to draw Chibis for a long time, but never had much luck. It took me one day to FINALLY be able to do it! I'm a 40 year old artist, so I've been drawing for a long time, yet I believe the book it good enough to teach a novice. You can flip through and there is space for you to draw along on every page. The pages flip up and offer a spiral binding at the top. The workbook is well made. I have a slew of manga and art drawing books, and this one really is my favorite.

I love this book. I bought this for my kids to learn how to draw chibis and was totally impressed with this book. It includes tracing paper and drawing paper, has loads of cute characters all broken down into steps and includes information on expressions, how to draw hair and eyes and body postures as well as much more. The book is small and convenient for a child to carry. This was even better than I expected it to be and think it would be a useful tool for an artist of any age looking to get into this art style. Love it.

A gift for my 9 year old niece, this book is a very cute little starter guide to drawing SD (Super Deformed/Chibi) characters. It's pretty basic in its steps, though; I might recommend this for someone who already has a basic concept of sketching shape layouts.

A super cute and handy how to draw book! I got it for my cousin who is a beginner artist and I'm so excited to give it to her. It has tracing paper and grid sections to help learners get a good grasp on proportions and how to draw standard chinos. The art is very 80s-90s and its super cute.

Present for my Daughter. She loves it. She has been drawing things ever since. The figures are cute and the diagrams are okay. Hopefully this will help her blossom into a Manga artist.

Pretty neat little book. Bought for my 10 year old and he thinks it’s the best.

My daughter absolutely loved this. It gave her so much hands on exp. and shipping was fast and easy

Got this ages ago and my kid still enjoys it.

My daughter has not put this down since getting it. Great value !
