 Stuck on the eyes? What about the outfit? Or what to do with the hairstyle? 

Chris Hart, my friend and colleague from the Pound Ridge Authors Society, has a new creation, The Big Book of Drawing Anime: The Complete Step-By-Step Guide. This essential reference has everything you need to know on how to draw amazing anime and manga characters ... you know, the ones with big sparkly eyes, fantastic hairstyles, expressive faces, and funky outfits who radiate BIG personalities and attitudes right from the page?

Chris is the world's leading author of art instruction books, with over 8 million copies sold and titles translated into more than 20 languages. Wowza!!
