Bishoujo Pretty Gals
by Hayashi, Hikaru (Illustrator) |

|
The third release of the explosive Manga series presents
easy-to-understand instructions on drawing "Bishoujos", a commonly
used Japanese lexicon synonymous for "pretty girls". While the
book Female Manga Characters introduced the readers to various forms of
female anatomy with a general focus, this volume takes us a step further
by infusing more personality into them. The first half begins by introducing
theories behind the process while adding more detail to the facial features
and anatomy likewise. Upon incorporating various imaginable scenarios,
the book then sites further useful examples of both real life-like as
well as fantasy type "Bishoujos" created from our imagination.
