Manga is proving to be one of the most popular drawing styles currently in vogue. Selena Lin has set out to provide a straightforward introduction to shojo (the more feminine type of manga).

This book looks at all the key techniques such as selecting tools, developing characters, composing panels, inking, Photoshop toning. Throughout the book she uses her own work as a guideline. Instructions are clear, step by step guides and are well illustrated. It is very informative
and helpful and is especially suitable for beginners. Selena has created an extremely useful book which will be much in demand by
would be manga artists.
