Basic Manga Drawing: Expressing Weight And Lightness

Review(0)

Categories:Other How-To-Draw

Easy to understand! My drawing skills have improved! The long-awaited latest work in the "Basic Manga Drawing'' series, which has received support from many readers.

??A thorough explanation of the expressions of weight and lightness that are important when drawing character movements!
The "Basic Manga Drawing'' series teaches drawing techniques for manga and illustrations. The theme of this latest book is "expression of weight and lightness."
"I drew a character holding a heavy weapon, but the weapon seems light for some reason'', "I drew a scene where I'm holding my lover, but it looks like I'm holding a balloon'', "I thought I drew a character who moves easily, but it looks heavy...'', etc. There are endless worries about not being able to properly express "weight/lightness.''
I will explain one by one the tips on what parts to pay attention to when drawing to express weight and lightness.

??Teaching a wide range of techniques including "the weight of objects'', "the weight of people'', and "your own weight (self-weight)''.When carrying large luggage or weapons, movements that try to support the "weight of objects'' naturally occur. When we interact with or pick up people, we create movements that support the weight of the person.
In addition, there are movements that support "your own weight,'' such as leaning against a wall or resting on your elbows. This book carefully introduces techniques for drawing these movements. You will be able to draw more natural poses.

??Introducing production techniques to make characters look light or heavy...
In addition to character drawings that express "heaviness and lightness," this book also introduces "production techniques." How to add shading to make it look heavy, clothes and hairstyles to make it look heavy, expressions to make it look light, etc.
By adding effects that are conscious of weight and lightness, you will be able to give shape to the image you want to draw.

When you can express weight and lightness, your characters become even more lively and attractive.
This is a book for those who want to master character drawing on the next level!
