Easy to follow and understand
I have the other 2 books in this series. Easy to follow and understand.Slightly more complex in this book but if you have Mastering Manga 1 & 2 this is essential for making the best drawings you can

Mr Crilley does it again
And we're on Book 3. Mark still surprises me in the way he brings the rising artist what he needs and when he needs it.

Power Up? Don't mind If I Do
So you look at your art after reading the first two books and thought well I'm really good almost professional, but I want to get better and "power up" so I... can... go beyond... even further... - DBZ then this is the book for you as Mark teaches you different manga styles, how tom make a logo and much more, this book is really only meant for those who want to become a comic creator who draws manga for a living (or as a side job) then this book is almost a necessity and lastly, go to this authors youtube channel for much more tips if you want.

Love All Three Volumes, and Wish Author would release Another!
Love the product, the love the author. Seller was great, too. No complaints. Sorry it took me so long to review: I forgot. I'd buy from this seller again.The Mastering Manga series in general is great because it doesn't teach you to just copy the pictures: It details how to build the bodies/forms, as well as touching upon techniques. You're not just given a copy paste method, but the understanding of how the shapes connect and what they represent. In addition, the author/illustrator goes into details about paneling, composition, value, and other elements besides constructing figures. Great books all around, and the this first volume I actually READ through. The text is conversational and engaging, which is not always the case with instructive texts.
