hikaru hayashi drawing the female figure

Overall, it's a good book for artists looking to draw sensual, risque or provocative female characters with sex appeal.īy the way, the instructor Hikaru Hayashi has published many manga drawing books. This 178-page paperback is surprisingly comprehensive except for the limitations mentioned above. And there's little information on drawing clothes, bras and underwear yes, but not normal clothes. And there's a lack of variety of female figures in different form as only young shapely female figures are used as examples, but that's alright as the target market for this book is probably very niche. For examples, manga eyes are always bigger than normal eyes, and the shape of the faces are very typical manga style. Since the style is manga style, the human figures may have some exaggerations. Having said that, there are some limitations to the book. This book is for beginners so you may not need to have any anatomy knowledge or even drawing experience to get started.

And there are many tips on drawing faces, gestures and postures, hairstyle, underwear, cleavage, boobs and how to add personality. There are fundamentals such as anatomy, proportion, skeletons and muscles. This is a figure drawing book for those who want to draw Japanese manga style female figures or characters with sex appeal. There is the mention of hentai so there is a lot of nudity and boobs in this book that I cannot show in the pictures below due to Google Adsense terms. Drawing the Female Figure is a book for manga, hentai and comic book artists.
