Watson-Guptill Anime Mania: How to Draw Characters for Japanese Animation Anime Mania


The interest in Japanese animation, or anime, continues to grow, and who better to show you how to draw than best-selling cartooning and animation author Christopher Hart? Just like manga (Japanese comic books), anime has a distinct and instantly recognizable style. It's less action driven than Western animation, focusing more on the characters within the stories. Keeping this in mind, Chris Hart has gathered all the information readers will need to create authentic anime characters. Anime Mania is a must-have for anyone interested in this increasingly popular animation genre. More than 400 illustrations, 150 in color. Paperback 144 pages, 8 1/2 in. x 11 in. July 2002. ISBN 082300158X
