Draw Like a Mangaka: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Learning to Draw Manga Paperback – May 28, 2024

This is a great entry level supplementary book for entry level artists to start them on their way of drawing people.While the title insinuates it's manga drawing, only a section of the book focuses on the manga art style, which in my opinion is good. When starting with the basics, you need to learn baseline realistic human anatomy, and that's what this book generally covers. So for those who want to advance to the anime style, they can then advance to the sections of the book that focus on those aspects. Adversely, should someone learn the basics, get to these anime sections, and by that point decide they want to go to in a different direction in terms of style than anime, they can decide to just use those sections anecdotally.All of this is done with a very fun attitude, making the whole process a very engaging and enjoyable time for what is teaching the otherwise rather daunting skill of art. Great book!

This book is amazing. It is very well organized (in a way that does not feel overwhelming). I truly appreciate the anatomy section. This is a great book , you can see that Marcel put a lot of effort, work and thought into this book. Everything you would need to know to draw is here. I came here from his Youtube videos which are equally amazing to his book. Definitely would recommend this 100%.

It’s very helpful for learning how to draw and I like that his personality and humor is included. I can automatically hear his voice and tone (due to watching him on his “Draw Like a Sir” channel on YouTube) with every word I read, because it’s written in the natural way that he speaks. Very enjoyable and useful book.

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and he really enjoys all the different drawing illustrations. He's learning so many different ways to draw

I love this book! as the majority of artists know proportions matter, and they matter from the base sketch, all the way through to the final render. This book can be used from any artist at any level, it will walk you through basic exercises to improve confidence, and more complex ideas like dynamic posing and perspective! I highly recommend this for any artist that wants to improve at drawing characters!

A great book for beginners on those who want to learn how to draw. It has simple steps, and the author is skilled and a good teacher.

Sooo we all probably came from "Draw Like A Sir" but it's great also like mario- I MEAN MARCEL said! It is NOT a tutorial! More like an organized guide, like his channle (which actually have tutorials on it)Sooo~ GLAD they have this in English!!Anywho, I'd get it! It's great quality and it's fun to read and look to for reference! ☆

Every page is crafted with care and passion, an excellent art book in every way! His Youtube channel is awesome too.
