5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Guide For Young Artists!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2005

This book in NO way deserves the bad feedback that it gets.

I think that people often forget that it's for young artists. Children.

Of course 20 year olds can't learn from this book, but a 1 year old certainly can.

The directions are friendly and simple and include helpful tools like drawing joints and hands, the artwork is colorful and easy to mimic, and it leaves the young artist with a sense of accomplishment when their art actually looks like the art in the book.

So in short, it's not for older artists.

But for children (or adults like myself who like to reference from time to time), it is the best art book that I have found.

Had this book when I was a small child and it's what got me really excited and interested in drawing manga and I haven't stopped drawing since. Thank you KT for inspiring me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking back the book is great for its target audience
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018
I got this book when I was a kid, roughly late elementary early middle school. I still have it.
Looking back the book is great for its target audience. I still remember tips that as a young artist, gave me a starting point to improve on as I pursued artwork.
Sure, it's not going to teach you how to be a great artist, and when it's time to lay this book to rest for you, it's very much time.
However, it's a wonderful starter point to get kids going.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made By A Kid For Kids!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016
My mother purchased this book for me ten years ago when I first began middle school. This book was the absolute perfect beginner's guide for me as a kid for learning a manga art style. As it was written by a kid for kids, it isn't the best in terms of anatomy, but it was enough for me to hit the ground running. I was spending hours drawing up my own characters and comics in no time. Anatomy naturally became a focus later after my interest grew for drawing manga. This book is the very reason today that I took an interest in art, and still to this day, 10 years later, I am working hard to put myself through a good art and pursue a career in comics, animation and concept art.

With that being said, I highly recommend this book for kids, or anyone truly just beginning the art of drawing, such as I was. I will purchasing this book again simply to reminisce on what started me on my journey!

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019
I first saw this book when visiting my cousin's house and became completely inspired when I was in 3rd grade. I loved this book. It was the only manga book i could find that had fun, colorful characters that i could attempt to draw. As i got into middle school, I branched out into different styles but this was the book that started it all!

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017
The first how-to-draw book I ever owned around age 7, and it was an invaluable resource for years and years. I still have it, waitng to pass it on to another young artist when the time comes. Its very easy to understand and the characters felt unique and fun to practice with.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter as she's very much into Manga art. I'd already bought her Katy's first book - so I knew what I was getting. My daughter has found the books helpful and is turning out what I consider to be quite good drawings herself.
