Inside the book
For beginners who want to learn, one lesson at a time.

A beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide to drawing anime and manga, written and illustrated by Ren Ebit.

Faces, eyes, hair and expressions, then bodies and poses, then full characters: one step at a time.

Face construction, eye styles and expressions, hair techniques, dynamic poses and character design practice.

For every manga and anime lover who wants to start drawing their own characters.
No drawing experience needed: each chapter builds on the one before, so new artists never feel overwhelmed.
Eyes, mouths, expressions and heads from every angle: front, side and three-quarter view.
Flowing hair, body proportions, poses, clothes and accessories, until the character is clean and complete.
Practice with pencil and paper, or adapt every lesson to your favorite digital drawing tools.
The perfect gift for every manga and anime lover, or anyone always sketching characters in the margins of a notebook.
