Thanks to everyone who has scanned and uploaded these tutorial books. After doing it myself, I realize that it really IS work. It's quite tiring! I do not recommend doing it all in one sitting.... If you have made any art using the book as a reference or if it has helped you, feel free to share ^-^ I love seeing people's art of all levels.

Here's just a little bit about the book that I noticed that I thought I'd mention... This book in particular seems quite different than other books I've read by this group. I don't know if that's because it was maybe made earlier than the others or maybe because there were so many different artists contributing. First of all, I feel like it includes more digital art tips than ones I've read previously. I don't at all think that this would be exclusive to digital artists, but more that this book includes more of those things. Usually I'd be happy about this, but I don't really have a tablet right now... well.. I'm borrowing someone's. I feel like some sections of this book are not as useful to traditional artists. Another thing I noticed was that this book seems less of a "cute" book, showing you examples of some basic anatomy and whatnot, but more of an actual tutorial book. In my opinion, even though the proportions on some of the drawings aren't as accurate as they could be, I see this book really talks about gesture and attitude. The sketches (black and white pages) seem more informative, even if they are not as "moe." If that makes sense. Gesture will help your character look full of life, even if they are in a neutral pose. I think it's important for everyone to learn, so I'm really glad that they really went over this part. However, I think that, especially for beginners (even though I totally am one ;-;) the proportions might throw people off. Incorrect practice is one of the worst things ever... I've known from experience. Only some of the proportions were off, but I think it was enough to notice. In addition to teaching gesture, this book also has an entire section on composition. Out of all of the tutorial/art books I've ever read in different languages, this one is definitely one of the ones I wish I could read the language for. Some of the composition tutorials aren't completely clear to me, but for the most part I feel like I understand it. I just wish that I could read it. I feel like it would be beneficial. One more thing about the actual physical book itself, but not the content of it. In comparison to the Moe Idol book I received, this book seems as though it was made a little... cheaper. The Moe Idol book has a glossy finish on each of the pages. When I scanned it, I felt like the pages were bound tighter together. In this Lolita Fashion book, I was actually afraid that it would break while I was pushing down on the book to get rid of the shadows (or at least make them less visible.) Even comparing them after they have been scanned, the Lolita book looks warped in a way, where the Moe Idol book is almost completely back to normal. The pages on the Lolita book also cut my hands and fingers a few times because of the edges of the paper. I had no problems with the Moe Idol book's paper, though. I'm wondering if the quality of the paper in the book has anything to do with where I bought it from or not. The Idol book was bought from Jbox (j-list) and the Lolita book was bought from animebooks.com. I'm just being picky, but I thought it's something I'd mention.
Also, why do these books read from left to right instead of right to left?
Thanks ^-^ Hope you enjoy the scan and that you learn from it.
