      There’s one book, ‘Draw Manga: The Complete Skills’ by Sonia Leong (I think?) and it’s actually really helpful. It goes quite in-depth on how to draw proportions of the face and drawing those of various races, composition of manga panels, etc, and it’s got QR codes that link to videos for visual learners instead of step-by-step learners, it’s really good and I highly recommend it! (This is from personal experience, my partner got it for me on Valentine’s Day, and I can never thank them enough for how useful the book is 😅)

      I wouldn't say that for me specifically. Here are the biggest Fandoms I am in at the moment:
      Pretty Cure (Japanese anime, biggest fandom)
      Taylor Swift's Fandom (Real life person, middle fandom)
      The Owl House (American animated TV show, last big fandom)
      I don't want to Draw The Owl House a lot, and I cannot draw (a.k.a. trace and then show 6 people in detail about how it isn't my art) Taylor Swift without taking super long. Plus, Pretty Cure has so much fun with their designs! So for me, it's either Trace kinda terribly or draw in my Aristotle, which isn't anime but is also terrible.

      S N to be fair, he has gotten a lot better. I have one of his newer books, ‘Drawing Anime - Amazing Girls’ and it has helped me develop my more anime-esque style (ignore the pfp lol, that’s an alt style of mine). I think he was just barely maturing in the ‘How to draw’ bit at the time of making the book, and possibly still a beginner at more anime styles at the time (which I can’t fault him for) and possibly just had more experience in western styles, hence why his newer work is much more advanced in terms of anime/manga styling lol

For her skirt to be that skinny with padding, the would have to have literally a stick.

    Chris Hart’s drawing books are an absolute fail, even now. I remember reading a book he made on how to make and draw anime characters and it was honestly awful. For the school genre (which is really the only genre he properly touched on) he basically just gave you a set of cliche characters and acted as if that was a guide on how to create a school setting story. He also gave you a little thing for body proportions which was okay if it wasn’t literally just a template telling people to redraw the same body and face with nothing but height differences. It can be helpful to newer artists and definitely inspire some young artists into the world of oc making and creating stories it really isn’t good information especially for a £20/26$ book. I’m not sure about the other newer books, but I can’t imagine them being good.

    Oh my god I have this book! It was the first how-to draw book I ever bought (I have many but I never use them lol). I used to look at the illustrations and tell myself “one day I’ll be this good”: I was like 10 so the drawings in the book were very fascinating to me and much higher than my level. I would say my drawing level’s increased a lot since then and I probably draw much better now but I felt very nostalgic when I saw this video since I remember using this book a lot when I was young XD

    I remember learning to draw using those old Christopher Hart books. I know the art style was already out of date when I was able to get ahold of the books, but I think the simplistic art was a pretty good place to start. I went from drawing stick people to drawing stick-shaped humanoids. :')

    I remember I originally started drawing on my own without any books. Then I discovered a book very similar to this and tried to use it, but then my art actually just got worse. :') It hadn't exactly been good before, either, but I eventually improved.
    I spent a lot of time staring at anime screenshots on Google Images back after that, I think that that contributed to both my drawing style and the fact that I am now a hopeless weeb.
