Book Overview

Written by Hikaru Hayashi, this volume in the Ultimate Manga Lessons series explains how artists can create impact through composition and movement. It begins with close-up techniques that emphasize selected body parts and create a strong sense of perspective.

The following sections examine the hand, foot, elbow, and knee as expressive parts of an action scene. The book also addresses fight-scene emotions, including anger, pain, endurance, fatigue, unconsciousness, and victory.

A second major section explores body movement, speed lines, rotations, spirals, and combinations of speed and dynamism. The final section studies original manga drafts through examples of strikes, locks, swordfights, practice combat, and decisive attacks.
