 Christopher Hart's best book yet!!! November 4, 2008
This has got to be Christopher Hart's best book yet. It covers alot of things such as cat girls and my favorite section,the super stylized chibis!! It great book and is highly recomended for any manga artist. I loved it and you should get the book. :-)
 It was good April 28, 2008
This book gave me some help with drawing eyes, mouths,and hair.
I would recomend it to up and coming artists and anyone that wants to learn to draw. It takes everything step by step for you. It also imspired me to draw some of my newer work.
Rockin' January 6, 2008
For a while i thought i couldn't draw. Then i got this for christmas. w00t! Hart does such a great job showing the reader how to draw! Maybe its the fact that my porportion drawing sucks, because the wonderful world of chibis actually encourages the artist to make a fat, big headed, short limbed character! My drawing are adorable now! The book takes you step by step until you;ve reached max cuteitude! If i had known it would rock so much, i wouldn't have waited!
Chibinate me Capin' June 22, 2007
WARNING: This book is not for beginers. There are few step by step instructions, the rest you have to figure out on your own. (you lazy people)
For those who are not beginers, this book goes fairly deep into the world of Chibi characters. It shows basics in body structures and facial expressions.
It also touches bases on many catgirl body types.
I feel this book gives you a wide variety of ideas that you can use to create catgirls.
All and all this is one of Mr. Hart's better books. One of the facts is that he put less of his style into this book. Which causes it to become more manga, not americanized/manga that he usually draws.
Which is a good thing.
I really like the section in the back about stylized chibi's from Japan.
Manga Mania's Chibi and Furry Characters is really a must have for Manga Arists. June 8, 2007
I myself personally have difficulty drawing chibi character's. This book is very thorough with the basic how to's of drawing chibis. IT even teaches you to think outside out the box when creating fantastical little monsters. I highly recommend this book.
