Features: Coco in the class next door can draw beautiful cartoon pictures and always shines in front of teachers and classmates. I want to be like her too, what should I do? The answer is simple—find a good introductory cartoon drawing textbook! The one you are holding right now has the confidence to stand out among the many similar books on the market and become your preferred companion for starting your amateur manga learning journey. Here are the reasons, and let me tell you slowly.
First, the author of this book, young female painter Xueling, won the "Most Popular Manga Artist Award" in an online competition and was selected as one of the "East Asian Manga Artists" in 2001. Her manga version of Farewell, Vietnam once topped the bestseller lists in major bookstores. Her works represent the trendy cartoon style that is currently popular, with a strong sense of the times and vibrant energy.
Second, Xueling is also one of the youngest painters in Shanghai to become a manga teacher. Her extraordinary life experiences—from working as a female worker at a banknote factory in Shanghai and teaching herself to become a manga newcomer—have shaped her exquisite and solid drawing skills, as well as her dedicated and encouraging heart in teaching. This book is the result of the author's years of experience in both creation and teaching. The illustrations are beautiful, the explanations are clear and vivid, making it easy to understand and follow. It is an introductory guide that combines systematic learning with intuitive understanding, possessing a unique approachability and practicality unmatched by similar books.
Third, and this is also a very important reason: the protagonist of this book, of course, is a beautiful girl. The girl teaching you to draw is, without a doubt, a beautiful girl; the heroine teaching you to draw is also a common beautiful girl in manga stories; and the readers attracted to this book are likely to be the youthful, blossoming beauties of school or siblings who love beautiful girls. In short, the desire for beauty is universal. This time, let us gather under the banner of "beautiful girls" and immerse ourselves in drawing, using our pens to bridge the gap between reality and ideal, spreading beauty throughout the world.
Finally, the world is rich and red flowers need green leaves to complement them. Therefore, in addition to teaching how to draw beautiful girls, this book also covers the drawing techniques for men, children, plants, and animals. The introduction to painting tools and main techniques is even eye-opening, making you eager to try. What are you waiting for? Join us!
