Personal Review: Lets Draw Manga: Bodies And Emotions by
Tadashi Ozawa
Let's Draw Manga Bodies & Emotions is for Fine Art figure artists, as well
as for Manga artists.
No book covers everything, but this book supplements the other books in
your library with some very important, unique material.
A key focus of this book is body language -- how to communicate emotion
and attitude with posture and gesture. In addition to providing drawing
guidance, this material can also trigger ideas for how to pose live models.
The author's illustrations, showing ball-jointed croquis and their
corresponding completed forms, simplifies and isolates the gestures and
postures, and illustrates the relationships between the croquis and the
finished forms.
Other sections of the book focus on hands (which many artists find quite
difficult to draw) and feet, and on the relationship between croquis, muscle,
skeleton, and finished form. Cube and cylinder drawing techniques are
included.
Head and face angles are another important area that the book focuses
on.
A unique contribution of this book is its discussion of body proportions.
Most figure drawing books address the normal human proportions of seven
or eight-head high adult figures, and variations for younger figures. This
book shows how to deviate from those "normal" proportions in order to
obtain alternative graphic drawing styles.
The book ends with some material on fashion and on a variety of character
types, styles and ages.
I would recommend this book for any figure artist's library.
