For the budding Artiste.......2007-06-19

Set by step instructions made it easy for my some to draw his favorite Pokemon characters.

Awesome pokemon drawing book.......2007-05-13

I bought this for my 7 years old daughter because she loves to draw
and also is into Pokemon. The step to step drawing was easy to follow.

Wonderful.......2007-05-13

I bought this for my son as a reward for doing well in school. He is 9 years old and in the fourth grade. It turns out my 5 year old and 4 year olds both enjoy it immensely, much to the dismay of my son (no girls allowed, lol.)

My son decided to trace the images for a quilt we are making to donate to kids in a loval hospital.

Pokemon Book.......2007-05-13

The step by step instructions is so easy anyone can do it once you practice with it. Once you get the hang of it you will be drawing Pokemon like a pro. This is a really good way to learn to draw some of your favorite Pokemon. I give it an A+++.

Easy to follow directions........2007-05-09

This book was wonderful for my 7 and 5 year olds who are addicted to anything Pokemon. Most of the drawings are quite challenging for a 5 year old, but he was just happy to be drawing something resembling a Pokemon character. I'd definitely recommend. However, it looks like a big thick book but it's only about 30 pages.

Great book for tweens. My daughter brings it on all of our rode trips and still enjoys it.

Fabulous.......2007-01-13

I got this for my 6 year old daughter who loves fairies and mermaids. The art projects are awesome, many different ways to create, each project can take around an hour to do. Some of the projects need parental guidance for her age, delicate tissue paper, cutting tin foil, etc. but the outcome is always amazing and she loves to display her work, which really turns out to look professional. Could this book lead to a career in illustrating childrens book, very probable!
Also recommend "I can draw Animals" by Gibson, that she can do 100% herself with step by step directions.

The item arrived on time and as pictured so I would order from this seller again. But on a side note: Even though the item itself is cheap the shipping will get ya!

a disappointment.......2007-01-08

Sure, they look great in the book, but none of the projects in this book will ever come out looking like the examples. It looks easy, but for little hands the drawings are kinda complicated. I've seen better drawing books for this age group.

Customer Reviews:

So close to being the perfect resource for facial expressions..........2007-07-31

I took a chance on this book because its title, "Expressing Emotions", promised to reveal the content I've been seeking for so long: a book that shows how to create facial expressions for a range of emotions. And this book really does that, and does it well.

Another book by the same artist, Tadashi Ozawa, offered a similar promise, but failed to deliver. Let's Draw Manga: Bodies And Emotions doesn't focus on faces at all; it focuses only on expressing emotion by posing the body in certain ways. Indeed, half the drawings don't have faces at all. Another book, Manga Moods, shows a huge range of emotions, but with only a single picture for each emotion and no advice on drawing.

Half this book is dedicated to facial expressions, and the other half gives corresponding full-body versions of some of these expressions. Everything is very well-annotated, with a number of notes on each drawing explaining exactly what was done to achieve the emotive effect. The drawings are clean and well-done, and the text is very clear.

But what could be a strength for this book turns out to be a weakness as well. Fourteen characters are used, a broad range of male and female characters typical of various styles of anime and games. Each character is shown with 14 facial expressions, then later with eight full-body poses. But pretty much the same 14 expressions are used for all the characters, and it just doesn't feel like it's enough to express the full range of emotions. Consider that Manga Moods has 40 expressions, and very few of them are redundant.

It's a nice touch to see the differences between how the emotion of anger is expressed by the young male detective and by the catgirl, or how smugness is expressed by the schoolgirl and the male giant-robot pilot. But I really rather would have seen more emotions reflected in this book, even at the expense of showing fewer characters.

This is still the best book I've found for learning how to draw emotions, and I'm sure I'll use it for reference quite often. I only wish there was more focus on a wider range of emotions -- how to differentiate between gloom and discomfort rather than just "unease", or defiance and confidence rather than just "smugness", for example.

Wonderful.......2007-01-22

This is a great book that provides drawing instructions on expressing emotion in anime and game characters. Helpful illustrations.

i love this series, its sooo helpful!.......2006-07-27

excellent! i was very pleazed w/ the first volume, and couldnt wait to get the second...and now i cant wait to get the last 3, this set is just plain awesome!
it starts off simple, like the previous, showing just smiley face expressions...then he shows u a varity of MALE and FEMALE characters using just their heads and faces to portray emotion. continue on, and he will explain how each individual character uses his/her body to express emotion. he even shows u a couple of "do's and dont's", depending on which character ur drawing...
an example would be the male game character...when sad, he doesnt cry, but when angry he forms fists and is shouting...for another male character, anger is portrayed more as protest, and when upset he actually shows it...
he gives u a small but helpful section on how to put ur new characters into a comic too, giving helpful tips on where the "camera" should be in a particular scene, and who should or shouldnt be in the shot, etc...neat.
its a great book, and can be used by beginners who have the basic idea of the body down, and experts, of course!
happy sketching! :-D

This book helped a lot!.......2005-12-01

I am 14 years old, and I got this book a year ago. It really helped me to figure out how to draw some of the basic expressions for people. I have been drawing manga for about 2 years now, but for a while, all of my characters had the same poses and basiccaly the same faces! And another note: not every character will express the same emotion in the same way. This also helps you to think about your character's personality and what kind of facial and body expressions they will use. I recommend this book for anyone who has the basics down, because it doesn't explain any of that. It will help anyone from a novice level, even experts could use the tips.

not a 2 star yawn like vol.1,(yea, that was me).......2005-06-04

Vol.2 is ALOT better and more helpful than its predecesser.the emotions are varied and there are no more clich'e characters too,they are in fact, believable.The drawings are nice and you wont find typos or any engrish,nor will you find bits of info paired with tons of pics.You wont find much trouble applying the examples's emotions to your own original creations.I couldnt give this book 4 stars though because I just couldnt get into it for some reason,maybe cuz i'm still trying to get rid of that bad after-taste that was volume one(yea,i was the one person who didnt like vol.1).This is one of those books you have to read to really judge.....

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.

Customer Reviews:

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.

Pretty good........2001-06-29

I'm an Ed Emberly fan, and as my children (and admittedly myself) have drawn so much out of his books, we've started to branch out to more sophisticated drawings. With the exception of Ed's, most "how-to" books pretty much "teach" in the same way: They give you a number of guides which are supposed to take you from simple shapes to the picture you're trying to arrive at.

It's apparent to me now, having revisited Emberly's work as an adult, and going back to books like this, which were tremendously frustrating to me as a child, that the key difference between a book like "How To Draw Animals" and "Ed Emberly's Drawing Book of Animals" is =not= the complexity of the final picture.

The key difference is the =gradient= between the guides.

In an Emberly book, each guide adds one or two very simple shapes to add--and tells you which shapes to add and often where (though it's usually obvious) and maybe even some explanatory text, etc., etc., whereas a book like this often gives you half-a-dozen shapes, and requires you to tweak the shapes you drew previously, all without a word of instruction or a different color or kind of line showing where the changes are.

Of course, these things are obvious to someone who already =can= draw, but very frustrating for those who can't.

Now, in my experience, most drawing books are like this, and you can't realistically buy them and be shocked when they all more-or-less take this approach, so I didn't really mark Ms. Soloff-Levy's book down for it.

Parents and teachers should pay close attention when buying these books for children. They all have different skill levels and the difference between ending up with a kid who gets frustrated and wants to throw the sketchbook away and ending up with one who enjoys drawing is, in a large part, going to depend on the adult's understanding of what skills a particular book requires.

For what it's worth, I'll continue to post my experiences here.

From a skill standpoint, I'd put this book after Ed Emberly's Big Red Drawing book. The shapes used are subtler than straight geometrics, but there are often only a few elements to a picture. And, thankfully, there are more than just three guides. (Some drawing books give you just three--or even two!--guides to go from nothing to a finished picture.)

I'd give it four stars but in some of the drawings, the guides don't match! I don't mean that a shape has to be tweaked or subtly altered, but simply that a leg in one guide is in a different position than the same leg in the next! Other than that, this book is recommended.

Excellent!.......2000-04-30

This book is very good for children. The children have not put it down. It teaches them how to draw basic animals and gives them a sense of accomplishment!

Great guide for learning atonamy, but it is NOT intended to be a kids book; it is for serious artists.......2007-03-10

I'm not a kid, I'm just too lazy to sign up for amazon.

If you've ever used a How to Draw disney book, you'll recognize the similar steps here, which is a good thing. But to those who have been complaining that it is too complicated for kids, read this: Bambi and the Little Mermaid weren't drawn by kids, and niether was Zelda. Furthermore adding to the ridiculousness of these aruments is that Zelda isn't even a kid's game to start with, it's VERY violent. Back on topic, It takes a serious artist years to learn these techniques.

This is a very nice drawing book for those interested in the characters. But be prepared to practice for many months. That's what it takes to draw cartoons, unlike portraits.

pretty cool, but has it's downsites........2007-01-16

I like this book a lot, but foir each charecter, there are only one pose. I love legend of zelda, so it automaticly gets 5 stars. but i reduced it to 4 cuz it only had the following:zelda, link, saria, ganon, deku scrub, link in a pose, a garon, and a tektite. i realy like twighlight princess, and wind waker, but it only had ocarina of time (also a great game). I think you should buy it if you want a blast from the past, or u r a total nerd(i'm a nerd :]).

Unfulfilling.......2007-01-15

Bought this book for son who is going to college to be a video animator. He didn't like this book at all! We do not recommend spending the money on this book. Look to other books for help with art design.

great for budding artists.......2007-01-09

Hours of entertainment creating game characters. Who knows? May lead to a career in entertainment animation...

Way too short........2003-04-29

What I was hoping for with this book was details. The inking was really thick, so the really fine details were hard to distinguish, making my purchase for that sake fruitless.
Also, the number of characters in the book is a piddling 13, and a number of those aren't characters, but rather monsters from Ocarina of Time. While they are marginally interesting in their own right, I think the space would be better used on more important characters.
The book's quite cheap, so you may want it as a guide to the rough proportions of a few characters. It's not worth much more than its cover price, though.

While one would think undergarments are standard fixtures on manga characters, they can be unexpectedly tricky for artists to draw. This book includes more than 4,000 illustrations showing details of these garments worn on a figure in addition to a detailed history of intimate apparel. Moreover, it enables the reader to make practical use of the illustrations provided to create easily their own fantasy costume designs. This volume is chock full of ideas ready for use!

I almost bought the book until i LOOKed in it. It's basicly drawing girls in skimpy sexy clothes. If You like that kind of thing then shovel out the 20 bucks.

Helpful in ways, depending on the person.......2007-05-30

In this series of HTDM costume encyclopedia, Hayashi and morimoto team up once again to show you some different apparel for your characters. In the first couple of pages they give examples of fantasy wear, which they created through the use of unmentionables (bra, panties, corsets, etc...)Now, this book is pretty good when it comes down to underwear and all, but what can one truly gain form buying this book? Well for starters, if you are having trouble with drawing certain bra's and panties, or even pajama's(which is in here as well, but not many examples of it)can benefit you pretty well; then again, that is just about it. I guess alot of people won't find it helpful to them if they are not drawing a manga that's along the lines of golden boy, La blue girl, ikkitousen, and other various anime's along those lines of panty shots and etc. Another good thing that I noticed from this book is that they give examples of undergarment throught the centuries from different ethnicities, the down fall is they don't show alot of it, it's just examples. All in all, I would recommend this book for those who would like to learn how to draw under garments or for those who need these essentials for their manga. It all depends if you find this book helpful or not. I will make a recommendation though. If guys are looking for clothes that people wore through out the centuries from different ethinicities, then you are looking for HTDM Bishoujo around the world. They not only show you different races, but also show you what clothes they wore.On helpfulness I rate this book a 3 for those who can't really benefit from this book, and I rate it a 4 for my personal use.

Fun to draw . . . and look at too!.......2007-04-20

This is a fun `How to Draw Manga - Intimate Apparel' book that I bought recently for my husband as a gift.

As its title implies, this is literally an encyclopedia of (illustrated) intimate apparel - which includes a wide variety of brassieres, panties, slips, tops, bottoms, stockings, garter belts, bustiers, camisoles, and other sexy sleepwear.

Most of the book is merely a presentation of the various garments. The real instruction doesn't start until the last section, "Drawing Intimates."

The sexiest tutorials are definitely the "Drawing Brassieres . ." and "Drawing Panties from Various Angles" - which include both tempting look-down and look-up (upskirt) views!

This section also has some fun trivia. Hey, did you know that when rendering women's undergarments - that panties should always be drawn with two lower seams (for the cotton panel) - while bikini bottoms should only have one? (After a quick check of my own undies - I found this to be generally true.) Bikinis should also be drawn as being made from a thicker fabric!

As a watch out, the sexiest - and only color picture - is the one on the cover!

For those who illustrate for a living, like cartoonist or fashion designers - this `How to Draw Manga - Intimate Apparel' can be an invaluable reference.

For the rest of us, this is also light entertainment for anyone (girl or guy) who enjoys viewing the feminine form. XOXOX

Great reference for artists, not for hentai........2007-01-13

If you are an artist with serious problems of Girls reference, this is the best book you will find, also the other 2 encyclopedias, I own the 3 of them and believe me this are the best reference for drawingk, sculpting and others stuffs, just get it while its hot... cause it will be hot forever!

Not really needed........2005-06-03

Ok all of us out there have a pretty good idea on how underwear should look and there's only so many different ways to draw them. I found the book to be a little dissapointing and seems repetative on the same subjects. What I did like the most was the fashion section through the ages starting with Ancient Egypt through to today. Though don't get too excited this section is 1/8 of the book and goes by quick. As for the rest, well I'd skip this one especially if you have a good imagination, you can come up with your own ideas as to how seductive or innocent your character's outfits should be.

This book does not help me draw at all. I don't actually have the book, I just rented it from the library to see how to draw guys better, (I'm a girl) but this book in my oppinion is absolute CRAP! I'm twelve years old and I draw manga just as well as in real comics. (At least the girls.) My, "how to draw manga books" show way more examples and poses! I returned it after I read through it! There is no social poses or anything in this book. What if you just wanted to draw one of those characters smiling or in a nice pose, not just about to rip someone's head of. Don't get this book, you'll be way disapionted! I would recoment the book, "Lets Draw Manga". It is great!

Male Cow Excrement - B S Watson.......2005-04-06

I have this book and I know drawing techniques (not in this book), this book provides little credibility and I fail to see how Scholastic Inc can promote it let a lone distribute it. I would not recommend this book at all to anyone learning to draw... BUT I would recommend it to the children that use it to trace or colour-in; namely the children that gave this book a ridiculously high review - that or just fans of the DBz site (children that don't understand the importance of accurate reviews).

It Was OKAY.......2002-10-15

It could of been alot better but..... once you practice a little you can make up different poses!! it should of had better stuff like background but none of it really looked like in the shows. It could of been alot better.But I think it was worth its money. but it is a good starting point.

totally stinks.......2002-09-28

This book stinks. Half of the character pictures don't even look like the people they're portraying. The author seems to think that all we want to draw are mean action pictures. There's only a few pages anyway, and not very much help drawing them. If you've got major artistic talent and you want good shots to copy, buy the manga. If you don't have much talent but want to draw, find another book. I wasted my money on this one...don't waste yours!

My 5-year old grand daughter loved it!.......2006-07-20

When my grand daughter comes to visit, I like to create a fun environment for her. I bought "How To Draw Funny Faces" for her, and she loved it. Usually she spends no more than 10 minutes on a project or game, but she spent close to an hour drawing the various faces in the book and then hung them on my refrigerator. Great for kids to learn to draw and fun.

Mediocre at best.......2006-06-04

I was expecting much more from this book. It rehashes the same expressions over and over again. No directions on how to actually make a funny face, such as changing the expressions of features i.e. raised eyebrows, crossed eyes, dimples at mouth, funny ears. I was disappointed and wouldn't buy this book again.

grandsons loved it!.......2006-02-28

Even the little one is sitting down to try and draw the funny faces . The parents are having fun too.

This does not have the most interesting cartoon characters but it is a book that kids can pick up on their own & do very basic cartoon faces without any help.
