sorry for the way back reply but yea the drawings look crap but there are some that are really nice like the monster books made by a studio. Most of the illustrators I seem to find in those how to draw is Christopher Hart.

[Alexander Linden]

The Monster manga books are terrible too.

[Demonskid]

If I wanna draw a monster I'll look up a online tutorial. OxO

Hmm it really depends on what your level of art is. A how to draw book can only tell you so much before its useless and should start trying to draw from other examples then out of your head.

My friend has the monster book of Erotic drawing, it doesn't really help XD. It just shows you have to draw Cat girls and panty shots.

I like them, their not like tutorials but it's for me on how to do the guides nicely in my view.

I think why everyone goes for Chris Harts work is because he does a huge variety of cartooning, yea his anime sucks ass but his american cartooning isn't bad.

I got his fairy drawing books cause someone wanted me to draw a fairy and I could really get a solid idea.

DK: the monster manga books is a series by studios that is at least a hundred or so pages and heavy as hell and teaches you from guides to how to do coloring it on the computer and their are chapters to it. I have 2 or 3 of them. at our barnes and noble we can get one of them for $24

[Demonskid]

yea I don't know of any barns and nobles around here.. we HAD boarders but they are gone.

it's cheaper to look things up online anyway xD doesn't cost money. (no one would pay that much for a book for me) =(

[Echo-chan713]

well my dad got them for me for my birthday as well as a drawing tutorial by Ben Dunn

[Poggio]

I like the books by Ben Dunn, they have more then just how to draw figures in them.

[Echo-chan713]

yea so do I and one of my Ben Dunn books gives you tips on how to present yourself to a manga publishing company such as good hygiene, act professional, show with your portfolio, etc. I hope he makes more of them

[Poggio]

XD I like the how to draw Marvel comics/the DC's guide to (Inking/lettering penciling). As well as animation basics.

[Echo-chan713]

It's been a long time since I bought a drawing book because it's been monopolized by the same artist that does crap work (but still maybe better than mine). at Michael's they have an how to draw anime kit by Chris hart XP
