Description: 【Description】Product Description.A book by Osamu Tezuka on "how to draw manga," as the title says, first published in 1977 and now available in paperback.The author's main target audience is "people who have never drawn before. All you need is paper and pencil. All you need is paper and pencil. Tezuka repeatedly says so. Tezuka then generously demonstrates specific techniques, including the basic concepts of "omission, exaggeration, and transformation," how to draw pictures based on these concepts, and a "problem book" for actually "twisting" ideas, opening the door to the world of manga to the fullest. For example, a facing page titled "Let's Make Various Faces. The right-hand page shows eight variations of each of the four parts (eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth), and the left-hand page shows 32 examples of faces made up of combinations of these parts. It is so fun and easy to understand that the author makes you want to doodle on a piece of paper at hand, thinking that you might be able to draw something like this. On the other hand, while the author says that it is okay to skip reading the book, he also explains the full-fledged techniques and specialized knowledge of printing, etc., as well as giving a stern message to aspiring professionals and new cartoonists. The latter half of the book becomes more and more interesting to Tezuka fans and manga fans alike. Tezuka's words are worth reading for Tezuka fans and manga fans alike: "Since this is how it is for me, you should not spare any effort or hard work either. I am a weak-minded person, but I believe that my manga established postwar long-form cartoons. This book is filled with Tezuka's confidence and sense of responsibility as a leader of the manga world and his passionate desire to nurture his younger colleagues. The Q&A-style postscript at the end of the book and the commentary by Fusanosuke Natsume are also interesting.
