How to draw male villains - Japanese Craft Book

Release Date: December 13, 2023
Language: Japanese
Hardcover: 240 pages

The polar opposite of our pure protagonists are these shady, villainous middle-aged men!
Mastering these supporting characters will add so much depth to your illustrations and stories.

However, simply adding wrinkles and gray hair won't create an appealing middle-aged man.

In this book, you'll first learn to capture the physical characteristics of middle-aged men, including bone structure and muscle tone, facial features, hairstyles, wrinkles, beards, and body hair.

Then, in the next step, you'll finally define the characters and begin drawing compelling supporting characters (villains and supporting actors who complement the protagonist).
You'll create a variety of characters, from intimidating villains like con artists, thugs, mafia bosses, and bounty hunters to quirky politicians and police officers.
Consider not only appearance but also the background of their life, and draw a unique "middle-aged villain" to create a vivid picture and a three-dimensional story.
