The ultimate guide to creating the most popular form of manga--shoujo!
If
you're reading this, you already love shoujo. But now you'll be able to
take the next step and actually write and draw your very own. The teen
characters that populate the genre are outrageously cool, including
magical girls, demon gals, cat girls, J-rockers, handsome teen boys,
Goth boys, and the increasingly popular elegant older young men that
shoujo fans adore.
No one can top Christopher Hart in helping you
learn some fundamental art techniques that will bring shoujo
characters, which are more realistic and less cartoon-like than other
styles of manga, to life. His drawings in this book reflect the coolest
and latest style Tokyo has to offer, and the easy-to-follow steps are
designed for the beginner.
From coloring to character development, Manga for The Beginner Shoujo has your back on every detail as you learn to create the most beloved of all manga. You may start off as an otaku (a manga fan), but you'll end up a mangaka (a manga artist)!
