I do the same. It's the simplest way after all. :3

Some examples of how I do it:

http://ai-no-senshi.net/bookexample01.jpg (lolita book)
http://ai-no-senshi.net/bookexample02.jpg (new)

The new scans are so much easier to edit. I tried my best with the lolita book, but the shadows and warping are just kind of too intense for me to handle. @@

yeah, i could finish cleaning the lolita book but it would take maybe a week or two to get it to where i think it is acceptable lol

*Update*
I am half way done with the new book ^3^

Lol, I would get them but one of them is out of stock. Need to order all of them at once in order for one shipping price.

yeah, and it can take up to 1 month or 2 months unless you look elsewhere for the unstocked book.

Maybe try to order them all on amazon jp? I don't know if it makes it any harder tho...
This book is not particularly helpful tho (I checked a look inside on amazon), but if you really feel like you want to have the whole collection, I can wait.
Ganbate-ne!!!

yeah, i was looking into amazon jp, they have a fast shipping from japan to usa plus to sales tax, i think they use fedex air its like 3 days plus buying from japan can be cheaper though it has to accept international.

i just found this_list
It's pretty helpful I think.

hmmmm. Let's see

Wait a few days-weeks to order all

Order only two then find something else

Order only one that has all the materials we need

Don't order at all

Variety is the best but it mostly depends on you and Denki-sama. Let's wait and see.

Can we add a couple of books on CG techniques?

Like these ones, tbh I don't know if they are any good...

http://www.amazon.com/Paint-Tool-Super-coloring-technique/dp/4048864351/
http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Master-Digital-Painting-Techniques/dp/4881666606/
http://www.amazon.com/Character-Anime-Illustration-Photoshop-Techniques/dp/B003NN93BS/
http://www.hlj.com/product/SKG30420/Boo

I'm uploading the one I have, since I haven't seen it here.

Well, I ended up finishing my edits for the new moe book. I merged the two-page spread (pg. 140-141) and saved everything in HQ jpg, but otherwise they're about the same as Denki's version. Mine's a little bit darker. ^^'

http://ai-no-senshi.net/tumblr/HowToDrawDistinguishableMoeCharactersBasicTechnique.rar

I already have 69 pages done for the Lolita book, so I guess I'll try to complete it. It'll probably take a day or three though.

I don't remember if the book for http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/asin/4798603155/moetatsu-22/ has been posted, but I have that in Chinese scans if anyone wants it.

I think the moe series is my favorite, because the drawings are so cute. I'd love to see the other Lolita fashion ones scanned, along with that sexy girls one. I also think this one (http://moetatsu.com/contrapposto) would be really useful, since it seems to deal with constructing poses.

Also, I have some of the books suggested in Chinese scans... I have craptons of How to Draw books downloaded. Maybe I should make a list of what I have? I don't really want Nen to waste his hard-earned money, lol. I know I have scans of the マンガの基礎デッサン デフォルメ編 book for example, which is rather mediocre imo.
