Oh, thats a good idea, I'll try and update that.

I'll definitely check those out, thanks !w!

no prob i used them for insperation to try comics my self so good luck to you on your comic

He did actually state what style he was looking for, he just didn't specify whether it was shoujo, shonen, Western, Manhua, or some other variant of the Manga-style (which implies that he's accepting suggestions on all of those styles).

i see opps i did miss interprate but i useally like to know a general genre the person wants to design personally befor i would send links. that way i can find the best i possibly can find to help them out thats all. plus theirs so many manga styles that i have read but i wanted to get a better idea what to send links to here sorry if i seemed dum thats just how i process things.

There are a number of reasonably good books and magazines out there that cover the general subject of the Manga art style. The "How to Draw Manga" series of texts seems to be reasonable and I believe that they have larger anthologies of their books as well. You can find out more about this series at Manga University.

There is also a book called "Manga for the Beginner" by Christopher Hart. Hart includes a few anthropomorphic references in this book along with providing for general humanoid anatomy, &c. It may be a handy reference for you. There's more about Christopher Hart's bookshere

Depending on the level of realism you are interested in (which probably relies heavily on the substyle of Manga that you want to pursue) or simply good anatomical reference, I can also recommend Anatomy for the Artist: The Dynamics of Human Form, which is a solid book on human anatomy. There is book that I also own (and have heard good things about from others) titled Anatomy: A Complete Guide for Arists. They're both very good books.

Anatomy for the Artist has more of an emphasis on poses, shaded musculature, shadow, and a lot of emphasis on the blocking style that's commonly used to analyze subject and then illustrate them.

Anatomy: A Complete Guide has many broken-down, detailed explanations of composition, angles, and there're more breakdowns and views of particular surfaces.

Doing a quick Amazon search, I also found Animal Anatomy for Artists. I would expect that you may be able to use this book to cross-integrate animal textures and structures with humanoids. Hopefully.

That's my two cents.

I have "Manga for the Beginner" and I've wanting to check out the book he did on furries.

I'll definitely try look into those other books mentioned. I've definitely been looking for a good resource on posing, so thanks for pointing out the specifics.

Thanks for all the info, as usual ^w^

sorry that i didnt read your journal 100% clearly just wanted to apologize for that.

Its okay 'w'

Just try whatever you feel like man :D

I remember you showing this site before. I'll try and check it out the next time I'm at the library.
