Born in Tokyo in 1961, Hikaru Hayashi started his activity as a manga artist after graduating from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Tokyo Metropolitan University. After working as an assistant, he made his professional debut with the manga Story of Aja Kong, then went on to found the manga and design agency Go office in 1997. Since then he has created more than 250 manuals on drawing manga, many of which have been successful internationally.
As the title implies, this is the first in a series of books about how to draw Japanese-style comic books. It’s a good introduction to the craft, but it doesn’t get into a lot of detail about any of the techniques involved. For example, two point perspective gets half a page, which is a little more than you need if you already know how to do it but nowhere near enough if you don’t. Some of the translations into English are a bit rough, though generally they don’t interfere with readability. After finishing the book, I don’t feel like I could sit down and start drawing manga. But I am at least curious about some of the other volumes in the set.
A really interesting book, but unfortunately I cant say it really helped me to learn to draw. Though part of my problem is I really just have no talent for art. Still I enjoyed reading it
This book is great for beginners to the media, telling you how to draw basic figures and gives you some guidance to creating a strong plot line/ characters in your story. :D
