How To Draw Various Men (Genkosha MOOK)

This technique book uses photographs and illustrations to teach you how to draw men. Men, while generally referred to as a single entity, vary greatly in age, body type, and personality, making them a challenging subject to characterize and depict. This book provides instruction on men divided into the age groups of boys, young men, and middle-aged men. It is primarily structured as follows: (1) photos of models in various poses, (2) copies based on those photos and commentary on key points, and (3) applied illustrations (complete with handwritten comments!) based on the theme, allowing you to learn drawing techniques in easy-to-understand stages and from specific perspectives. The final chapter also features a "two-person" section that can be easily used in manga and illustrations. It explains eight patterns (32 pages total) of tips for drawing pairs of different ages, such as young men and middle-aged men, based on their relationships. If you want to delve into drawing men to the fullest, this is the book for you! A must-have for aspiring manga artists and illustrators.
