    This was great!

    I found that drawing manga was so much easier after this! Mark crilley also lets you choose your own style for most of the book, so you dont have to always draw exactly how the book wants you to. Its easy to foolow and so much fun! I wiuld definitely recommend this book!

    Good

    I saw the preview of this book on youtube and look really interesting. I purchased this book for my nook and it work for a couple of minutes then it stop working. Now it won't work I' m really disappointed that's why I give it four stars. But overall during the couple of minutes it was working the book had easy to follow steps and guidelines to help you draw better or show how to draw manga if you never drew manga before.
