Review Quotes:
"Mark Crilley's drawings are some of my favorite things to look at, and this book is filled with beautiful examples of them! Each drawing has a story, and the book is filled with insights on technique, tools, and all things manga. If you are interested in manga, or really any kind of cartooning or storytelling,
Manga Art is for you!"
--Jeff Smith, creator of BONE, RASL, and Tuki Save the Humans
"Manga Art is bursting with creative thoughts and processes. Food for any manga lover's soul!"
--Camilla d'Errico, painter, creator of Helmetgirls, and author of Pop Manga, Pop Painting, and Pop Manga Coloring Book
"I devoured this book in one sitting. Mark's work is beautiful and inspiring, and I had so many sketching ideas by the end that I had to slap my hands away from the art supply box so I could write this, instead. Thank you, Mark, this book is another one that is definitely going on my art shelf!"
--Svetlana Chmakova, author of Dramacon, Nightschool: The Weirn Books, and Awkward
