^_^ - By: , 18 Mar 2004
It was very good in terms of proportion, & in terms of poses but it did tend to skip over bits like individual facial features & hair. I have a few of these HTDM book & i feel that the authors tend to care more about the appearence of the female characters. So i would not recomend this to a beginner but i would advise it to someone having difficulty in drawing male proportions properly.
An excellent drawing reference - By: Relm, 12 Sep 2002
This book book is a brilliant buy for anyone interested in character design, figure drawing, & anybody who loves manga!

The book initiallly teaches you how to draw the human figure competantly & how to build & develop your own characters through a range of excellently illustrated diagrams. The diagrams are well labelled, explaining each illustration & giving useful tips which help improve your own drawings.
The content of the book is basicallly, drawing the male form, basic poses, male clothing & accessories & techniques by proffessional manga artists.

I guess you're wondering why I have given this book alll this praise & only awarded it four stars, well I personallly thought that the diagrams were rather cluttered & the layout made finding what you want rather hard. One other thing is don't expect many examples of male manga characters, there are supprisingly few, it is mostly concentrating on human anatomy. Overalll this book is a good buy if you are specificallly interested in drawing male charaters, but my favourite drawing book in the how to draw manga series has to be "Anime & game characters: mastering battle & action poses", now thats a five star book!
