I'd ditch the Hart book, it isn't very good and most of the drawing in the anime ones aren't even his to begin with. I'd look into Bridgeman...

If you want the anime style go for Manga Techniques by Deleter or the "How to Draw" series that's out...

That top book, the mice... Theres a arcade game that uses those same exact mice in it, you gotta hit em with a hammer before they get the cheese.

Wonder if the author had anything to do with em.

Try (The art of drawing Manga by Ben krefta)

It's my favorite book

Heh... never read any art books so I dunno what to think about them. But I reckon it's a step in the right direction cuz I believe it's just a matter of looking, and looking, and looking some more. You can doooo EEEEET!

You reeeealy think so?

I have the Hart book ^_^
I gave up on drawing anime, but it still helped me for picture ideas and anatomy.

I have the Hart book too. Acutally I got a bunch of his books, and a whole stack of 'How to Draw Manga' books. All I can say is that they've helped a bunch. When I've actually cracked them open and looked...

I only have five hart books, but yeah they do certainly help ^^

That they do, that they do.

Only three? I got a library that's been growing since high school. lol
Those do look like good choices though. :3
Been wanting that animation book, but I'd have to order it online and I get wrapped up in other things every time I connect. ^_^;

I have the 2 bottom ones :D

BURN THE HART BOOK!!!

OMG that book is a lump of rectum by product!!!

Well okay it's not that bad. But for him to say the way he draws it is the style anime should be drawn in, is a bit rediculous. You'd be better off with "How to Draw Manga" books. Though they use different artists for the books, and sometimes they can be a little off. Like the one I have for male characters, someone rocks with anatomy, and then someone else drew the legs like uber long, which is a horrible trend. ._.

Ah , a fellow Christopher Hart reader. Personally I find that his book on Occult and Horror is a tad more informative and a bit more luxurious with visuals. Some of the illustrations in the Villians and Video Games book aren't exactly...well....I'll be frank I COULD'VE drawn something more along the lines of anime than the one he used for the trigger happy girl.
