One of the secrets to the great anime out there is in their beautiful characters.For one to be able to succeed in the anime and manga industry,one must know how and what elements to combine in order to create some interesting and original characters.And that is the goal of this book.


Chapter 1 - Bishoujo Character Drawing Theory

You'll also learn how to draw different types of eyes,ears,mouths,noses,hair and faces on different positions.

Chapter 5 - Out-Of-This-World Bishoujo

This is a small chapter where artists show their amazing artwork,where each artist has is own unique style.
