My sister gave me this as a present. Have any of you guys used it? Is it any good.

Well, just going by the fact that the illustration on the cover doesn't look like manga at all, it's probably not that great. I really recommend the "How to Draw Manga" series by Tatsuhiro Ozaki (you can find a big ass torrent for it on TPB) if you're into that sort of thing. The series is old but not dated in the slightest, and even covers some good fundamental things to know as an artist in general.

Wow anon, what an intelligent and well reasoned response. It's as if a person can understand the validity of information in a book without anything to compare it too! I'm sure OP is much better off thanks to your frank and insightful commonsense response. Almost the sort of thing you wouldn't have even needed to think about ^.^

>aka the masses who are completely oblivious to manga
The irony is that it's a dummies book.

Going by the illustration I'm guessing its more of a storyboarding / paneling book rather than "here's how you draw animus".
in which case it might actually be good. I find the dummies books to be a good intro to pick up usually decent knowledge on a subject before moving on to more advanced books.

Uh do you have a torrent or something? I can only keep finding his Maid book, and I can't find anything else off of Google or some of my torrent sites. I'm curious to read this and learn since a lot of the reviews say he's pretty good.

Even then, surely there are better books to learn from like Framed Ink, Drawing Comics the Marvel Way or Perspective for Comics

Says "Database Maintanance" right now. Check back whenever

Piratebay is back ? ._.
It probably has some useful information in it and probably decent enough for someone looking to doodle or draw as a casual hobby. Otherwise, just go download some loomis.

there are always better books. It doesn't mean the book is bad.
