Not exactly what I thought. but still great.By SoranI would never recommend this for beginers at drawing males because its not a "How To Draw" book. but it does show how using layers and creating your own backgrounds for a character makes them stand out more. It also has great characters in it. ranging from trendy guys. rock stars. Visual Kei. wrestlers. martial artists. nerdy guys. etc. So if your looking for a colorful. stylish book to inspire your own male characters. then its great; but dont buy it if you dont already know how to draw males. I think "How To Draw Manga Males" is the best. and apparently the only good resource available. There are other decent books that briefly focus on guys: Manga Mania Romance. HTDM Couples. Lets Draw Manga Ninja Samurai. Lets Draw Manga Tokyo Urban Hip Hop Culture. and HTDM Computones Couples (Great for free tones too). Good luck being an artist!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love it!!By SAMANTHAI got this book today and theres a few things I wanna say about it1. It came a day early so that made me really happy2. After flipping through it I defiantly find it challenging as far as drawing your male characters in action poses. It was something Ive been trying to learn how to do and now I can just open up this book and get a reference in an instant.However this isnt a how to draw book and its really not for beginners. If your a beginner and looking for a how to draw book. this book isnt for you. I would say its more for "advanced or skilled" artists that know or have a pretty good idea on how to draw manga. Me personally Im not a beginner but Im no expert either so this book is a challedge for me. Anyways its full of all sorts of manga guys. one that I didnt expect to see so its great for inspiration. Overall I give it 5 stars!!9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Boys. Boys. So Many Boys!By iRead_iWrite_iConquerIt took me quite awhile to start getting through the Monster Manga Book of Boys. There are so many different styles of them and. ultimately. they can be quite difficult to draw if you arent already experienced. I wouldnt recommend this book for beginners. Start off with the beginners book and then work your way up. Trust me. the extra effort is worth it if you want a great drawing sitting on your sketchbook or computer screen! For the price. you get a massive book and loads of information and inspiration. There are so many genres and line-by-line detailing that it makes drawing them out so much easier. It also gave me quite a bit of insight on the anime-male anatomy that can only be given through display.Did I mention that there were many. many boys? Because there are. And theyre fabulous!This book is amazing.
