"A book that draws the cartoon well? Is that such a thing as an instructional book? There are so many books on how to draw, so recommendations will vary from person to person. If you are a complete amateur, you need to know the tools used in comics, and if you want to improve your drawing skills in the case of people, you need to learn about skeletal and muscular techniques, and if you want to improve your background drawing skills, you need a perspective book. I've seen the supplement. There are many different kinds of instructional books, so your recommendations will vary depending on what level and direction you are looking for. The books that you find easy to understand in the store are the most useful later on. What others say is good for you may not be right for you, so it's better to use reviews as a reference only."

I bought a Loomis book and neglected it, but if I do a little copying and crocheting every day, will I get better? Also, God Painter's painting Croquis also works" "I think the point is that it's still too early to use the knowledge of Loomis books. For example, it's like an elementary school student reading a reference book for junior high school students. You can improve by copying first. However, if you copy without thinking, you won't make much progress. You want to overcome a pose you're not good at, draw the legs realistically, or draw a profile that you can see a little bit from behind... By setting an objective, looking for photos and copying them, you will be able to say, "Oh, I see! and improve. The same is true for picture reproduction. If you find a subject that you want to know about, such as "How does a good artist simplify the hair," "How do you draw the eyes," or "How detailed should I draw the wrinkles in my clothes? You can see from the above example that there is a difference in the skills you can learn between photography and painting imitation, so you need both. So, it means you need both. Also, it's not all a waste of time to copy pictures without thinking about it, as the hand learns naturally. However, if you want to improve quickly, you must set a goal. Once you've mastered the art of reproduction, you'll want to draw an original. That's where Loomis books come in handy, as they give you the knowledge you need to draw poses freely. You should keep them for your own safety." "I'm in grade school, but... God of Painting Cate of digital line drawings Painting Cate Ask the best of real life portraits, what do you think? I'm back from the cabaret." From: https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1093472640?__ysp=5o%2BP44GP5pys "Can you give me a good introductory book on drawing? I have always enjoyed drawing and have practiced drawing and sketching, but I want to try my hand at illustration, which I have always been weak at, so I am looking for a good introductory book. The illustrations I want to draw are cartoons and so-called two-dimensional drawings. I am not good at deforming, and I am not able to draw the images that come to my mind. I am not good at drawing the human body, but I don't know if I should start with a book that explains the structure of the human body or an introductory book on drawing illustrations. I'm not sure if I should start with a book that explains the structure of the human body or an introductory book on illustration, since I've barely done any crocheting, but I don't know if my motivation will last because it would be a long way off... I am happy to start from the introduction to illustration and learn the structure of the human body as I get better, because it keeps me motivated, but I am not sure if this is right. I'm not sure if this is the right way to go." "I recommend "How to Draw Little Characters - Character" by Hajime Sato. You can learn the basics of how to draw deformed characters from this book, and then you can copy your favorite artists' works. Toriyama Akira's "Dr. Slump" is a great example of how everything is deformed (even cars and houses). I started by learning about the structure of the human body. I bought a bodybuilding magazine, a book by Frederick Dravier, bought a skeleton I could assemble myself at ......, and a few months later, when I had learned the major muscles of the upper body, I started to dabble in drawing deformed characters. I'm a big fan of muscles, so the motivation continued, but what if you don't like it (laughs)? But looking at the "Dragon Ball" drawings, I don't think Toriyama has detailed musculoskeletal knowledge, so it's possible that he can draw Toriyama even without such knowledge." "I've recommended it to many people, but I'm enjoying drawing people! I recommend the book called "The Book. There is also a website, so why not search for it and see what happens? This book is very thorough and motivating, to say the least. I think it's a great book for understanding the structure of the human body. I hope my answers are helpful to you. Nice!" "To be honest, books on how to draw illustrations are not helpful. Because there is a trend in the designs. I bought a book a few years ago, but the designs are old and not useful. It is more efficient to study illustrations after you have mastered the muscles and skeletal structure in earnest." from: "I've heard that cartoonists bought an anatomy book to draw people, but what kind of book was it exactly? A book? Also, do you have any book recommendations to learn about how the human body works? It's not just a book of poses." "There are many different books on art anatomy. First of all, the following is easy to understand as a classic. It's mainly composed of contour drawings, and some of the pages have a low resolution, but the drawing skills are solid. Easy Art Anatomy By J. Shepherd Mahr Inc. The above is easy to understand, but one book is not enough to understand the three dimensions, so I recommend the following as a supplement. Sharp pencil drawings and clear views, but the face drawing is a bit ugly Art Anatomy for Drawing By J. Burchai Elte Publishing There are many others, so you can go to a larger bookstore and consider various options. Supplemental Information Unfortunately, it is difficult to grasp things like the three-dimensional structure of the pelvis from books alone, so it is better to use a mini skeleton or anatomy app. Skeleton app for drawing Skelly Allows you to make the bone models pose as you wish. Easy to operate. I think it cost a few hundred dollars. 3D anatomy diagrams for medical professionals Human Anatomy Atlas VisibleBody It costs about $3,000, but I highly recommend it to get a three-dimensional view of the body. If you have a PC or iPad, there's also a 3D human body that you can view in your browser. If you have a smartphone, it might be tougher. zygotebody.com The free version is horizontal rotation only.
