How To Draw Manga The Fred Perry Way DVD

My Review:
I first encountered Fred Perry in the How To Draw Manga book series. I instantly liked his style, and while he is American his drawings have a certain Japanese Manga feel to them coupled with his own fresh contribution.

My Review:

This is one of the most important skills to have [...]

I have several “How to draw Manga” books on my book shelf.  Recently I decided to start a drawing manga course so I went through all of them and tried to choose the best ones for inspiration. It seems that after the explosion in popularity of Manga in USA and Europe many non-Japanese artists published [...]

While the Hogart’s anatomy was my first ever anatomy book from 20 years ago the Human Anatomy by Goldfinger is my most recent purchase. And I have to say, I was cursing myself for not buying it sooner.

Overall I believe this is the best anatomy book to start with if not the absolute best in general if you want to learn male anatomy. On the other hand avoid it if your goal is to learn how to draw women.
