Manga as an art form is growing quickly in popularity and appeals greatly to young artistsThis series covers different aspects of figure drawing in the Japanese comic-book style. This book covers how to draw the many different types of hands and feet seen in this genre. The hands and feet are very similar to human ones though simplified in style and older ones show signs of ageing such as wrinkles and visible bones.

In Manga art the hands and feet are important to show poses and realistic grips on weapons. As the features are flat planed and simplified its very important to draw hands and feet convincingly and in a wide range of poses. This book has step by step instructions on how to do just that showing for example how the angles of the hand differ when holding a ball to holding a flower. It also covers drawing footwear and gloves so that the figures can be adapted for differing stories. There are instructions for drawing them from a number of different angles, showing how to get the perspective and proportions correct.

This book is a must have for people wanting to learn Manga art and would make a perfect gift for a young adult artist.
