I want to freely express visuals that are impossible in reality in the world of illustration! But when I try to draw them, the balance is not good and I feel like something is wrong... This book is perfect for people like that. In addition to basic bodies, we also cover deformed bodies, explaining the structure, characteristics, and drawing methods for each part such as the face, torso, hands, arms, and legs. It also explains how to draw a convincing human body for various character expressions, such as: What is the trick to drawing a large bust in a balanced way? What is the structure of a chibi character's body? How do you distinguish between realistic and deformed drawings? How do you draw animal ears in a "realistic" way? [Points to improve your drawing skills and expressiveness] ● Use the balance of an 8-head-tall man as a basis → First, master the balance of an 8-head-tall man. It is easy to understand based on the size of the head, and it is easy to remember other ages and genders by comparing them to an 8-head-tall man. ● Understand changes with gender and age
→ After understanding the basic balance, remember the changes with gender and age, and grasp the key points when drawing different characters.

● Understand shoulder and hip movement
→ The shoulder and hip joints are particularly large joints in the human body with a wide range of motion.
By understanding how the muscles in these areas deform,
you will be able to express various poses more accurately.

● Master the expression of deformation
→ Understand the characteristics of idealized deformations such as manga heroes and heroines, and chibi characters drawn with minimal lines, and express your "ideal character."
