Drawing American Manga Superheroes

For years, American comic book artists have been inspired by the style of Japanese manga artists. Manga has transformed the work of cutting-edge American comic-book artists such as Joe Madureira (Uncanny X-Men) and Ed McGinnis (Superman) so much that a new term has evolved: amerimanga. In Drawing American Manga Superheroes, author Andy Smith uses his own clear, informative step-by-step format to show artists exactly how to create their own amerimanga by giving traditional American figures and storytelling a twist with manga style and techniques. Tips on form, rendering, perspective, penciling, and inking, plus an easy-to-understand compare-and-contrast method that shows how to capture the best of both worlds, makes this book valuable to both aspiring artists and working professionals.
