Manga Now! How to Draw Monsters and Mecha by Keith Sparrow

Manga Now! How to Draw Monsters and Mecha by Keith Sparrow

Clashing kaiju meet mighty mecha in this action-packed guide to drawing monsters and giant robots, suitable for all abilities.

All of my family enjoy drawing and colouring and we also love Manga and Anime so this book seemed like a good idea

The book is beautiful - its jam packed full of stunning colour pictures with easy to follow instructions.

It also includes lots of useful information and advice on how to set up your work space, on using a a computer/scanner etc and plenty of ideas on how to develop and create your drawings and art work.

I sat down and in 15 minutes was able to follow the guide in the book in order to create a rather nasty fanged mouth. I was able to follow the instructions within the book but also switch things up slightly and alter it so that my picture was based on the design in the book but changed to make it more mine - so I changed the colours, the shape slightly and added in a forked rather than flat tongue. The tips on the colours were useful too and make it looks much better than if I had just flat coloured it. This was just a quick go and I think I personally in the future would follow the advice of the book and line draw in pencil and then scan it and colour it via a decent computer programme to get more fluid colours.

I think this book is great and I can't wait to try out some of the more complicated pictures in it

Easy to follow instructions in a beautiful book. My son has really enjoyed following the diagrams and is working his way through the book so much so that I have to search his bedroom if I want to read the book!
