Let's Draw Manga - Monsters

Japan is the monster capital of the world without a doubt in anybody's mind. Literally, thousands of monsters ranging from gargantuan beast, human sized villains, and charming cartoon characters have made their appearance in manga, theaters, television, and games, enamoring children across the world for generations due to their original, captivating design. Created by PLEX, Inc., the renowned design office of Bandai, Japan's largest toy manufacturer, this book stands out from the rest of any monster drawing book released in the past by introducing the secret fusion matrix used by PLEX, Inc. which incorporates various elements drawn from animals, plants, and inorganic matter in their creation of a one-of-a kind monster, all revealed for the first time to the public. Divided into sections devoted to drawing monsters large & small, along with charming critters that appear in children's cartoons, each part begins with the conceptualization of the monster design, followed by extracting the essences from various motifs, form establishment, deformation, rough sketching, clean up, and then finally adding color. The last chapter covers various movements and dynamic battle scenes. This book will be the ultimate drawing reference for monster fans of all ages!
