As long as there has been a path to "reality," the technique of "sketching" has been the way. However, anime is not a "real" world but a world composed of "apparently real" and "deformed paintings." "Apparently real" means there is a gap with reality. To make a work feel real, it cannot rely on the method of life drawing but must master the creative approach to painting. This is exactly what this book explains—"Super Manga Sketching."... Sketching requires a decision to be made right from the beginning. What should be drawn and what should it look like? Although there are many explorations to be made in painting, at its core, it is about making your own decisions. "Draw this thing in this way." Whether it's the consideration of head-body proportions or the balance of painting composition, it all stems from this initial decision. And the sketching drafts in painting are the path from the initial decision point to the final completed work.
