some of them are free if you look were you should. but all of these books were uploaded by a user and i had them in a collection, but she kinda left and they're not here anymore. but these books are actually outdated compared to today's drawing standard, i think its better to get the newer books from go-office with art by kazuaki, problem is that their scans are also hard to find...
wanting to be a foreign mangaka is hard a your dreams can be crushed by the littlest of things...
other problem is that sometimes you think you found an actually good course until you later realize that they're just chinese knock out versions of good go office books. IMPORTANT: DON' T READ THE BOOKS WITH THE TITLE DONG MAN XIU CHANG, THEY'RE JUST TRACED CG WORK OF PIXIV ARTISTS AND ANIME SCREENSHOTS. you'll thank me later. also don't even think about reading chris hart books, katy coope books, maybe you can read mark crilley, but don't trust the others.
Thank you! I will search for these books on Scribd. I know these books are outdated, sadly no other good collection was translated to English. I have a collection of 500 drawing books, mostly downloaded from VK/Eddiesekiguchi or collected from my teachers, and I liked the didacticism and the range of examples from the How to Draw Manga collection. As I don't know Japanese, these books the ones that I've mostly liked, but I saw some from GoOffice and I will use them after I get better. I have a lot of Dong Man Xiu Chang, and for me they are useless, since, as you said, they just collected artwork and sold as a drawing book. I have too a lot of American books but only the Comic or Concept books are good. As I am looking forward to draw manga, they are not useful either. Anyway, I want to complete my How to Draw Manga collection and use them as a support beside my drawing classes, so I will search for them in the next days. Thank you very much.
