How to Draw Manga Furries: The Complete Guide to Anthropomorphic Fantasy Characters (750 illustrations)

The book itself is nice. The quality of the book, images & information inside is all great, but it’s not going to teach you how to draw furries if you aren’t already a somewhat experienced drawer. I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a tutorial book as much as I’d consider it a guide to helping you hone your drawing skills. You don’t have to be a good drawer for this book to be helpful, you just have to already know the basics of how to draw people, animals, things in 3D. Regardless, it is still helpful. I’ve made a few attempts to draw things using this book and with practice, I’m sure I’ll improve, but there’s a lot of other examples, tutorials, & other information I’ve had to use along with this book to get a better understanding of the basics. I find that I’m successfully able to draw something using this book, but I’m just doing what it’s telling me to do, to draw that specific image. It doesn’t give you an array if different poses or styles or examples to practice with, so it’s still a struggle to use this information to just draw anything. Again, the book itself has very useful information and I’ll keep it as it’ll be useful once I’ve improved my skills, but if you’re just starting out then I’d suggest looking elsewhere or even teaching yourself from stuff you find online first, then use this book to hone your skills. It would be awesome if this book was more expansive and was a series that started part 1 with very kindergarten black & basics that teaches you everything you need to know about blocking your characters body and poses and such, then as the series progresses it gets more in depth starting with simple drawings leading up to a book for an expert so that you can literally learn every single step of the way.

Molto semplice e utile per imparare le basi, molto contento dell’acquisto!

👍

Love this book so much I brought another one by the same person, it’s helping me improve my drawing easy to understand and follow great for those wanting to learn how to draw Furries

Very Nice

I had the Japanese edition on my wishlist for the longest time and I certainly am glad I waited as I am more confident in my english. beyond the hand with mini goat hooves instead of finger nails which look pretty cursed (don’t worry, the other 3 goat hand designs are cute), I, as an intermediate artist found this to be genuinely helpful.

Certainly, this is not a book for beginners (assuming you’re actually going to use it, buying it for the pretty art is still well worth it) and it focuses more on how to structure your characters and provide examples of how their anatomy could look in a style that is relevant to what is out there on the market, say Brand New Animal or Beastars.

At the price, I would easily recommend this to my friends, whereas with the japanese edition with the $30 price tag, here in the west, fell a tad high for me.
