Gives an excellent variety of references for drawing fantasy and even science fiction. It has more of an American Comics mixed with Manga Vibe; so it may not be good for those that draw Manga style heavily. I think this book will encourage people to draw in their own style since the drawings in the book have a good in-between style.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another great book by this authorBy IstarielLike the others; this book is a great start for an artist interested in drawing slightly manga style fantasy art. It should be a good addition to the resources an artist in the cartoon styles need.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great bookBy cassi swegardChoose book for my son..He absolutely loved this book...lots of detail and different from others he has purchased..will buy from you again
