Customer Reviews:

a 9-year-old's review

By A Kid's Review - December 25, 2010

I personally love manga and Japanese anime, but I am just a beginner. My mom got this for me, and I drew at least 4 drawings the day i first got it! It teaches you everything. i started at the beginning of the book and tried the basics, and kept going. When i got ahead of the basics, i basically just copied, and it was a little hard, but once i got the hang of it, I got pretty good at it, partly because i already love drawing. Just copying the pictures teaches you a lot. The book goes in order, from sketching the face and a little body, to a professional manga chibi figure.

The whole book basically just shows you little tips and lessons (that personally worked for me, but don't know if it will for any of you) and then lets you go on your own, but those simple things actually really help. Other than how the book works, it's such a cute book; for example: it'll show you a regular manga girl or boy in any mood, and then it will show you a chibi version of the picture, and... read more

Chibis are the mini emo characters in manga; the normally-drawn characters often revert to chibi status when they feel strong emotions. The author tells us that chibis are not only fun... read more

A jem of a book

By G-Art - April 5, 2010

Flipping through the book, made us fall in love with the Chibis. Book is filled with dozens (hundreds?) of different Chibis accompanied with a description of what's unique to the specific character and of course the easy steps to bring out this uniqueness.
The author has an amazing ability to point out the uniqueness of the each Chibi Character and demonstrate in just a few easy steps how to make it happen on the paper.
These techniques, tips and the way Hart views the a cartoon character constructive not only for Chibis but with all Manga characters.
In short, this is a magnificent book.
