Читать книгу How to Create Manga: Drawing the Human Body - Matsu - Страница 7

the blocking-in that make a figure look human, and if the blocking-in is accurate, you

won’t have problems with the sketch. And if the sketch is right, the stages that follow

such as rough drawing and adding in lines will be problem-free.

In this book, I have omitted the explanations about complex anatomical structures

that are studied in medicine, and I cover only the parts of the body compositions that

are useful for sketching and blocking-in. By following the steps involved in blocking-in

a simplified anatomical structure, you will learn how to compose and fill in a human

figure when creating a character illustration. This will allow you to pursue sketching

with more confidence.

Further, instead of vaguely introducing the shape and form of various body parts, I

have detailed why they are a particular shape and incorporated examples of bad drawing

and points to watch out for. There’s also advice that will help you improve your skill

level, with descriptions of more detailed anatomical compositions allowing those at an

intermediate level and beyond to gain a deeper understanding.

It’s my hope that this book will result in fewer frustrated readers and that drawing will

lead you to new discoveries.
