Customer Reviews

excellent instructional book

I bought this for my daughter and she was so very happy to get it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Excellent for anyone who wants to learn how to draw anime.

Great Book!!

This book not only helped me with my drawing skills but helped me make a friend from Japan. Anime Mania has great drawings and grand tips. I've become a better artist and my art grade reased quite a bit too.

Anime Mania Review

This is another great bok from Christopher Hart. He shows you basics, advanced drawing techniques, and not only a Japanese phrase section on how to speak some japanese but how to act. For example, if you want someone important to have your buisiness card, you dont throw it in there faces you bow and extend it with both hands Another great book.

ANIMA-zing!

Chris Hart provides great examples and explanations to understanding how to create the anime look.From simple construction through finished drawings, anyone will be able to creat their own anime world by the time they complete the book. A great resource.

If you love Anime, you'll love this book

I am a gigantic fan of anime and this book expanded my appreciation by leaps and bounds. The detailed explanation and drawings of the different character types, was incredible. And the contributing artists reads likes a Who's Who in the Anime art world. To land Pop Mhan alone to contribute is quite a feat. If you like Anime, go out and get this book now.
