Do you have a child that is interested in drawing Manga?? If so look no further Fox Chapel Publishing’s?Draw Manga: Step-by-Step from the Masters is great book for a budding artist!? When I was learning to draw I loved books that would teach me step-by-step how to draw the things I was interested in drawing.? When I became a teacher I would check out all the how-to-draw books out from the school library to help my students learn to draw the things they were interested in.? As a teacher we are not always able to give our students the one-on-one attention they need especially if they are capable of doing their assignments without help.? Instead we tend to flock to those that desperately need our one-on-one instruction.?
