(Sorry, I don't have the pictures on here but..)
Title: Manga for the Beginner
Price:About 20.00 (Barnes and Nobles)
Author and Artist: Christopher Hart
Summary: This book covers from how to draw the male and female body, expressions of the face, different hairstyles and also goes into shounen and what some could call shoujo. It's very helpful because it has a WHOLE SECTION on "Dynamic Action Poses" which shows how to add the neccessary impact into your drawings. Another chapter includes lots of stuff about anthros and different types of monsters including:
Spider Monster
Mansect
The Giant
It also covers natural poses instead of static, stiff ones and how to draw the male and female body from 5 VIEWS.
I'd give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5.

Title: Manga Mania: Shounen
Price: About 20.00 (Barnes and Nobles)
Author and Artist: Christopher Hart
Summary: The ENTIRE book shows how-to-draw the characters that you would normally see in shounen including: Samuari characters, how-to-draw fight scenes starting with the "run-up" and ending with the powerhouse punch. They show the difference between action and balance, the proportions of each character, and they have a section titled, "Fighter Girls" which shows stuff like the sharpshooter, the ninja, the spy girl, the Evil Enchantress, the Fantasy Fighter and the Karate Girl. (This section has some VERY good poses, but the outfits are A LOT more revealing in this section then most others.) They also show how to draw and stage the supporting characters, draw some characters that your antagonist would most likely fight and a whole section on how to draw "Battle-Ready Robots."
I'd give this book a 5 out of 5. This book is recommeneded to Intermediates to Advanced.

Kupocake Thank you, smackbringer! Would you like to make a more detailed description for Drawing Female and Male Nude? As of right now, I could only refer to Drawing the Human Anatomy Book. Sorry but your sig is just to awesome not to reply to. OK back to manga, Sera, umm.... IIE! I still can't find a way to draw feet or shoes, but I'm still working on a wood elf to show you a hand and folding.
