Drawing Manga Animals, Chibis, and Other Adorable Creatures Description
Learn the Tricks of the Trade for Drawing Irresistibly Cute Manga-Style Animals and Chibis! The world of manga is filled with strange creatures and adorable sidekicks. Just about every manga hero and heroine has an animal mascot, and all the most popular ones have a cute "chibi" form. This book teaches aspiring manga artists how to create the funny critters that populate girls' manga and the more gritty, gothic creatures found in boys' manga. It starts with the basics of creating manga-style characters—everything from drawing heads and faces to eyes and expressions, to creating incredibly cute chibis. Part two features a valuable reference section on the mythological and real animals that have shaped Japanese artwork and stories. The final section has step-by-step demonstrations on using computer programs such as Photoshop and Corel Painter to create manga art and comics. So whether you're just starting out and want to draw a cute, simple mascot, or would like to try something more complex like an Asian dragon, or are ready to create your own otherworldly adventure, this book has something for you no matter what your skill level.

I enjoy drawing and wanted to try something new. I never really got into Manga prior to this but I must say after just flipping through the book I fell in love with the simplistic yet adorable animals offered in this book! This book offers the basic steps for creating the applicable faces/bodies of Manga and Chibis and even has steps for tweaking your art in photoshop programs and info on creating your own page full of creatures for the use in comics! Good book with lots of information (and not just for young people, I am 23 and a female and love it)! Before you know it, you will be drawing cute creatures too!

Ever wondered just how the mangakas draw those cute little
sidekicks, animals, and chibis? Drawing Manga Animals
shows you how to create those little creatures in a step-
by-step process. It tells all; everything from heads and
bodies to coloring your creations in on the computer using
photoshop.
I enjoyed looking through this book and
seeing all the pictures. Everything was very simple and
in an easy to follow format. The author used both
pictures and words to describe how to draw the animals,
which was beneficial for me. I'm not very good with
drawing, so the fact that there were words and pictures
telling me how to draw them helped a lot. I really like
the assortment of lessons and animals that it gave. There
were real life animals like squirrels and rabbits, but
there were also mythical creatures like dragons and
kitsune, fox people. Also, the instructions on how to use
the computer to color in the drawings were very detailed
and showed screenshots to show exactly what should be on
the computer screen. I will definitely share this with my
friends who love to draw!
