Biographical Note: Review Quotes: Praise for Manga Art for Everyone: "Good characters are a key to good manga. If you've been trying to draw them, but still feel as though your drawings don't look very manga-ish, this is a great book, with lots of good hints and idea templates with which to practice. Kudos to Danica Davidson and Rena Saiya for providing something very useful!" -- Frederik L. Schodt, author of Manga! Manga! and Osamu Tezuka's English interpreter "Danica Davidson has done a fantastic job of expanding on Manga Art for Beginners in this lovely how-to guide, illustrated beautifully by Rena Saiya. It provides all the essential steps for the budding manga artist. Easy to understand explanations provide details on popular manga archetypes, giving the reader the tools they need to create their own dynamic manga characters." --Robert McGuire, Publisher, One Peace Books Praise for Manga Art for Beginners: "This manga instruction book focuses on character design and costume, devoting much more attention to details such as how to draw a rose or shoelaces, or which way a kimono crosses over, than proportion or anatomy. Much of that was covered in the previous book, Manga Art for Beginners (by Davidson and artist Melanie Westin). This is a solid selection for those who have mastered the basics and are ready to move on to character work." -- School Library Journal
