Book Description
This volume focuses on animals and (animated) inanimate objects. It starts by introducing key points in drawing animals in that delightful chibi character/ultra-stylized manner. The book also contains instruction on anthropomorphism or how to make animated objects that frequently appear in manga and anime seem to move and talk like human beings.

This is new!.......2005-11-27
This book teaches how to draw super deformed animals!I never would have thought of it!Even though SD animals are not as popular as SD people this book is still good for a manga fan.
A Super Deformed charater is a manga charater with a big head, slightly chubby body,and cute looks. SD charaters are usaully know as chibis. Useully SD charaters are human but hey this could be a new begining of chibi animals!Mabye SD animals can be just as popular too!
The reason I gave this book four stars is it just goes over millions of animals until the book ends. I would have give it five stars if it just teached more about the expresions, and the poses and how to make SD animals in motion because they practiclly rushed through those steps.
Over I do recomend this book though but you kind of have to have the basics on expressions and body movement of SD charaters down first.So before buying this book try buying "how to draw manga Super-Deformed charaters Vol. 1 people" first then buy this book.

Book Description
Big things really do come in small packages! It is no exaggeration to say that today one cannot discuss Japanese manga techniques without touching on figure stylization methods. This book thoroughly explores this topic, starting with the thought process and techniques used to draw the characters known in Japanese as "chibi." Most English-speaking fans call them "superdeformed," or "SD" for short-those oh-so-cute, smaller-than-life characters who are always stealing scenes in such anime favorites as Chobits, Dragonball, and SD Gundam.
Customer Reviews:
Cute and helpful........2005-11-26
This book goes over the basic stuff like how to do the head,the basics of the body,expressions, the difference between a regular manga charater and a chibi(nother word for Super Deformed charater)ect. Then it goes over the details like making fat people, skinny people, how and when to use chibis in comics,so on. It was a great book besides the fact there were a few naked chibis here and there (thats why I gave it four stars) but still worth buying!
~*~Purin~*~
It was very informative, and nicely done..........2005-08-23
There were many different things that they talked about in this book, all regarding the drawing of 'deformed characters'. I found all that I needed to in this book, although there were some things (like some little 'in the nude' drawings) that made me lose some focus...
SD or Chibi Characters are NOT just Kids' Drawings!.......2005-01-27
Many people think chibi (or SD) characters are a kind of an art (i.e. gag) itself or that it’s so easy to draw, there is no such need for a book on this topic. It is, but chibi characters doesn’t necessary have to be used in gag or parody works; real life mangaka do sometimes use chibi characters in their works to liven up the atmosphere, especially when funny or comical parts are involved. Also, there’re many “secrets” which makes for a highly successful (cute or funny) chibi character. It can therefore be said that chibi characters can be considered an essential part of Manga, unless of course, you plan to do an entirely “serious” manga that doesn’t involve any humor or chibi characters.
This is where this book comes in. Wonderfully organized with many details, hints and tips to drawing a successful and lively chibi character, the book is both engaging and enriching from the beginning to the end. The book first explains the characteristics of chibi characters, before moving on to how to draw chibi characters’ eyes, noses, mouths and even ears. The book also touches on the actions, poses and expressions of chibi characters, and also offers you advices on how to make your character even more Q! (or cute!). Apart from the characters, there’re also tips on deforming other things and props such as background, robots, trees, and even cars! Whew!
Not to forget, there is a special bonus at the back of the book where you can mix and match everything in the face to get your own chibi character’s look and at the same time, hone your skill.
Although it’s mentioned here that the reading level is for ages 9-12, I would like to emphasize again, chibi or super deformed characters doesn’t just mean kids’ drawings or drawings for kids, if you ARE serious about manga drawing, chibi characters is one area you’ll need to work on as well. A highly valuable, constructive and entertaining book; I recommend this book to anyone serious in manga drawing! ^^
about time for book like this to came out.......2004-09-28
Many typical Anime character designs feature heads that are just somewhat larger than would be proprotionally correct. is known as Super-deformed characters, SD for short or Chibi in japanese exagerate this deformation in the goal of appearing cute and funny.Artists often Super Deform characters in order to show an extreme change in the characters' mood. the goal of the animators is always comedic cuteness. Often done at the punchline of a joke for an extra comedic oomph.In this book its cover all the basics you need to know about this japanese style what covers in manga.I give it five stars because there no other book i know cover such a area
Pretty Good .......2004-08-11
well This Manga book is not like the other manga books . This kinda like a special editon . Mostly I would recomend it for more avanced Manga Drawers . If you are just a starter I would recommend Geting started. the first book of manga. It really tells you to draw Chibis (really tiny people) . If you are expeting how to draw bodys, and comics or proffional Manga . You don't want get this book . But If you want to learn all about to draw chibis ,(very small or deformed humans) how thier moves , Faces , Eyes ect. But it pretty Good for people who want to draw chibis . Chibis are a different type of Manga . It is not like the drawings in Pokemon , Salior Moon , and Yu-Gi-Oh . Pokemon , Salior Moon , Yu-Gi- Oh are too serious and drama like manga . What this book contains is a manga what is more childesh like and not very serious or dramatic.

Great for Ideas.......2007-08-24
This book is GREAT for getting ideas; the anatomy parts are not anything particularly spectacular, but it's great for getting ideas and concepts going, as well as what to DO with these ideas. I recommend it for those who like fantasy and/or the 'Magical Girl' genre
Outstanding book teach you how to draw cartons in detail........2007-07-03
An Outstanding book that teach you how to draw cartons in detail. I bought it for an 8 years old girl, she likes it too. (but, it seems a little bit hard for her) However, I borrowed the book and draw once and find out it's a great book. I highly recommend for teenagers who love Japanes Cartoon.
One of the best Manga Mania Books.......2007-06-12
This book has better Drawings and is more inspiring than most books in this series!
Another amazing book from Christopher Hart!.......2007-05-23
I am a big fan of Christopher Hart and his work. His books are the best manga tutorial books I have come across.
This one is no exception. The drawing are gorgeous, the instruction is easy to understand for beginners and is still useful for advanced manga artists who want to learn new techniques.
It has everything from cute chibis to the transformation of a regular girl to a magical girl. (step by step instruction)
My favorite is the cute little mascots which are also transformed into magical mascots.
This is worth every penny!
ONE OF THE BEST!!!.......2007-03-17
This book has some of the cutest manga drawings you will ever see. It teaches you everything you need to know about how to make a great manga. I would recommend this book to any girl who loves manga! ^^
Book Description
This is a complete collection of tone techniques for drawing manga, from the fundamentals to actual use. When drawing the expressions of a character, how should tone be used? This volume is full of knowledge for gaining complete command of the use of tone.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book but not for everyone .......2004-11-23
A wonderful edition that focuses on how to tone your work and recommended for those interested in making their own manga and how to tone them. Even though the book uses actual tones (Letraset, etc), you can apply what you learned on the now growing use of digital tones. It covers everything you'll use a tone for from characters, shading, backgrounds, and effects. It even mentions proper use, techniques, and example pages includes specific tones used.
This is not a book to get for the young, or those who do not like S&M drawings which are shown near the end of the book. The examples are more on the provocative side and are anatomically detailed (expect nipples and aereolas) than the other How To books.
for serious toners a must.......2004-05-27
been using tone for 2 years now, and even living here in japan. i can tell you i have yet to see many tone books, well maybe 2 others under i.c. screen. and they were not really that good either. but this book tells you how to do some sweet effects, picks up where how to manga vol.3 left off, so if you use tone, and want to have a look like the japanesse comics, i would say not getting this book is a mistake.
Very Helpful, but not for kids........2004-02-08
This book is very helpful in explaining the use of tones for dramatic shots, overlapping techniques, etc. However, this books is definitely not for the younger aspiring artist. As the previous reviewer mentions, the book presents some very graphic and risqué imagery that is reminiscent of hentai. I would highly recommend the other book in the How To Draw Manga series (Pen & Tone Techniques) if this book is meant for a younger audience, or if you are offended by such material.
Good, but..........2003-09-11
As an aspiring artist of manga style, I bought this addition to the How to Draw Manga series. It was helpful in many places, considering before I didn't really understand what tone was. The tips and tricks are quite nifty, and the book comes with a few sheets of tone to practice with. Unkaku Koyama does a great job explaining the hows and whys.
But my main gripe with the book is in someplaces, it appears to be a How to Draw Hentai. He often shows tone as applied to extremely detailed ... female bodies. The section on how to apply tone to simulate leather is downright dirty. I guess the tip-off should be the flash of [underwear] on the cover, but I didn't notice that when I bought it, and was extremely surprised when I started reading.
Overall, highly recommended for people who need help with tone and don't mind somewhat explicit images. Also, those looking for tips on applying tone to male characters had best look elsewhere. There are three male figures in the entire 135 pages, and what appears to be a man's hand shoving a young girl onto the floor. For all of you who need help with tone and do mind explicit images, I'd suggest avoiding specifically pages 45, 51, 52, 84, 85, and 87.
