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 but these books are actually outdated compared to today's drawing standard, i think its better to get the newer books from go-office with art by kazuaki, problem is that their scans are also hard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.
Yeah, I made the mistake of buying a few christopher hart books a while ago, never again. Loved em for about a week until I laid my eyes on some authentic Japanese manga and realized what I had bought was basically just Americanized garbage taking me nowhere with my aspirations of being a mangaka. So far I've only downloaded Japanese (some in Chinese) howto manga books but I'm thinking about looking into the Sketching Manga Style volumes.
