Manga Mania: Shoujo Sketchbook

Of all the forms of manga, shoujo is the one directed almost entirely at girls. Many—though by no means all—of these stories focus on romance, have flowing, very pretty art, and highlight characters with youthful charm and huge, glistening eyes. So this sketchbook will attract a huge female audience eager to find out how to draw key elements of the style. They’ll quickly master such features as a “pretty girl” head, a Shoujo boy figure, beautiful Shoujo eyes, the most popular manga hairstyles, and stylish outfits. Finally, kids will learn how to create Magical Girl characters complete with monster mascots.
