Marc Notes:
Nothing brings anime artists more satisfaction than creating original characters to use in a comic strip or graphic novel. How-to-draw author Christopher Hart helps them reach this goal by providing insight into the six most popular anime types: schoolgirls, schoolboys, preteens, vengeful bad guys, humourous personalities, and fantasy figures. He supplies templates for each;an extensive array of omenuso of head and body types, outfits, and accessories, and detailed, accessible, step-by-step demonstrations and drawing exercises.
