Eu comprei o Shojo Beat Manga Artist Academy ainda quando estava em pré-venda, é um livro muito legal, com a participação de várias autoras e muitas dicas de como fazer shoujo mangá. O grande destaque é Yuu Watase que aparece na imagem aqui no post mostrando suas técnicas de pintura. Tudo é ensinado com muito humor e dinamismo. A resenha abaixo dá nota 4,5... tomara que o 5 seja a máxima, se não é muita injustiça...
Eu descobri algo muito legal na parte Chie Shinohara. Ela coloca um quadrinhos rascunhado, talvez algo descartado de Anatolia Story onde a irmã de Yuuri e Satoshi, o primeiro namorado da protagonista, estão pensando no amor que sentem um pelo outro... Eimi, a irmã, parece uns três anos mais velha... Enfim, há uma sidestory no fanbook que mostra Eimi como arqueóloga trabalhando com o marido em uma escavação na Anatólia... Olhando bem, o marido é Satoshi! Quanta coisa as mangá-kas não devem descartar? Só esta descoberta já valeu o livro. ^_^ Eu recomendo.
Voltando das férias, talvez faça uns scans... Não fiz por falta de tempo e preguiça. Bem, como estou fora de casa, talvez não poste todos os dias nem poderei colocar muitas imagens... Estarei meio off-line e como o pc do meu irmão vai mal das pernas, talvez fique totalmente off mesmo.

YES, your eyes have not deceived you. OtakuZone has finally started reviewing art books and guide books, and it's all thanks to your love and support! Okay, okay, back to the review.
In spite of its title, this book teaches you to draw more than just shojo manga, under the expert guidance of some established artists.
In Shojo Beat's Manga Artist Academy, readers are taught drawing techniques via a series of comics.
We follow the adventures of Satomi Panda (or your alter ego, as the publisher would like you to believe) in her journey to become a shojo manga artist. Again, I would like to emphasise that this guide book doesn't just limit your scope to shojo manga.
The techniques highlighted here can be applied generally. As in all manga genres, there are things like storyboard creation, panelling, drafting and colouring to consider.
In the book's first few colour pages, professionals guide you, step by step, on how to create a manga. Among these professionals are Yuu Watase (the mangaka of Fushigi Yuugi or Mysterious Play) and Amu Sumoto (the creator of the shojo manga S+M). If you're a fan of any of the names featured, you'll definitely cherish the colour photographs of the artists doing what they do best.
Undeniably, the guide's main drawing power is the line-up of professional shojo artists roped in for the project.
Unlike other such how-to publications which feature relatively obscure names, Shojo Beat's Manga Artist Academy enlists the help of well-known shojo mangaka.
As a reader of manga-drawing guides, I must say that this is quite a gem. The artists seem to have a lot of fun with Satomi Panda in their respective comic strips.
Their guides are easy to follow and do not bore the reader unnecessarily with too many jargons.
Of course, the tips given by the artists are merely bare essentials of manga-making. However, I have honestly found some of the comments about the pros and cons of certain techniques very helpful.
For instance, do you know why manga artists should minimise contact between their hands and the artwork? Well, that's just one reason why you should go out and grab this book!
(Rating: 4.5)
