★Expanded and revised version of "Drawing Lessons for Drawing Realistic Characters" (Manga Textbook Series)

An expanded and revised version of "Drawing Lessons for Drawing Realistic Characters," which has been well received for its easy-to-understand explanations by popular animators, from the basics of human anatomy to techniques for creating realistic-looking pictures.

In two chapters, "The Human Body's Structure for Realistic Drawing" and "Screen Composition for Realistic Drawing," we teach the know-how for creating realistic pictures. In the expanded and revised version, between the two chapters, we add a new method for drawing "running," a basic action in action scenes, and explain the importance of "perceiving what you are drawing as three-dimensional."

Not only will you gain an understanding of the functions of the human body, but you will also gain a deeper understanding of screen composition and perspective when viewed through a lens like in a movie.
This book is useful for everyone involved in creating pictures, including manga artists and animators, as well as cameramen and film directors.

*This book is an expanded and revised version of "Drawing Lessons for Drawing Realistic Characters" (published in July 2009), with 16 additional pages on how to draw running scenes.
