How To Draw Manga Books from Sweatdrop Studios
Sweatdrop Studios is proud to announce the release of two new
How-to-Draw manga books written by its members. Both books are aimed at
beginners and offer practical, easy-to-follow guides to the various
aspects of the manga art style.
"Draw Manga" by Sweatdrop Studios goes back to basics explaining what
the manga style is and the tools and materials needed. There follows a
series of tutorials in depth on how to build up your characters from
first principles - facial structure, anatomy, proportions then leading
to individual character elements such as eyes, hair, accessories and
clothing. Subsequent step-by-step projects show how to put all of the
individual elements together to create effective manga characters. It
finishes with projects from the masters - creating polished pieces of
manga-style art using various mediums, such as markers and
watercolours.
The project was led by Sonia Leong, and head contributors were Selina
Dean, Hayden Scott-Baron, Laura Watton and Emma Vieceli. Other
contributors were Sam Brown, Carrie Dean, Niki Hunter, Aleister Kelman,
Morag Lewis and Wing Yun Man.

"Drawing Manga" by Selina Dean covers all the beginner needs to draw
their favourite types of characters, including people, monsters and
mascots. There's advice on drawing figures, adding expressions,
designing clothing and posing your characters. An essential section is
included on creating different characters, examining the design points
which make each character unique. Other sections cover the practical
techniques needed to create comics - developing storyboards, creating
layouts, scripting, including backgrounds, and using inking and
colouring techniques. A final chapter includes some more advanced
techniques to enable readers to create finished artwork on their own.
Contributors include Hayden Scott-Baron, Sonia Leong, Emma Vieceli,
