How to Draw Manga, Volume 23: Illustrating Battles

How To Draw Manga #23

by Hikaru Hayashi

Based on the concept of learning to draw animals by starting with a single line (head and backbone), this volume provides tips on drawing animals without having to go through the steps of practicing complicated skeletal and muscular structures. The book faithfully traces techniques from drawing, realistic images to techniques of deformation used to make figures appear cute and cuddly.

I like this book.

[Koriander Bullard · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want a crash course in drawing a good fighting manga or comic like say Dragonball Z, then you really need this book. It's got details on how to draw your hits to look realistic and notes about body types. When I was starting to get through art classes, I relied on this book heavily.

Wow! that was cool... but some of the pictures seemed a bit awkward to me, especially if they would be seen out of context.
