Ever wanted to draw manga but didn't know where to start? Ever felt there's something not quite right with your drawing but not sure what? Draw Your Own Manga: All the Basics is the book for you! The textbook of choice at Tokyo Animation College, the leading school for manga artists in Japan, it covers all the basic information you need to get started on drawing manga with clear and easy-to-understand instructions.

This third volume in the Draw Your Own Manga series is aimed at experienced manga artists who wish to improve their skills and technique. The book offers not only tips, practical instruction and inspiration but explains all the essential features of the main genres and the standard techniques used in common situations and action scenes.

This book focuses on both the cartoon-like critters and funny mascots that populate the shoujo (girls') style of manga and the more gritty and Gothic animals that inhabit the shounen (boys') style of manga.

Now armed with basic color theory, Kisaragi and friends are ready to play and experiment with tones and new tools! But when the school art club, led by the upperclassman who inspired Kisa-chan to attend G.A., is in danger of being shut down, will the Color Rangers (minus the disguises) save the day?! Well, as long as Kisa-chan's clumsiness, cooking experiments, and badminton battles don't get in the way...

It's time once again for art school, full of the spirit, love, and laughter of youth! Kisaragi and the GA girls return to class, shifting their focus to the history of Western fashion and textiles. But as with every serious art lesson in this department, crazy antics (not to mention a game of dress-up and a food fight) are never far off! And when the GA welcomes a new face - a transfer student from France - will the department's regulars scare off the new girl and make her hightail it back to her homeland?!

C'mon, GA students, sketchbooks at the ready! Mysterious happenings at the summer festival, fateful encounters while taking shelter from the rain - and a new face in the crowd (?!) all make for great subject matter! Namiko-san is pretty much the big sis of the GA crew, but who knew she had a big sister of her own? Will big sis be able to hold her own against Noda and Tomokane!
