How to Draw Manga Furries: The Complete Guide to Anthropomorphic Fantasy Characters (750 illustrations)

My daughter adores this book! It’s so thorough and has so much information in it. She has pages flagged and often references this book when drawing

This book has been an excellent reference to depict anthropomorphic characters w/ distint species-specific characteristics. Combined w/ my practice of 2D & 3D shapes (circles, squares, triangles), & my anatomical studies through Love Life Drawing on YT, I've been able to make great progress. However, where the book excells in explaining the details that separate different species, & different styles of drawing these characters, it only shows you how to draw them in a few limited poses -- by necesity as it covers several species & helpful details on how to draw each, & variations of each. So unless you have enough experience drawing characters, or understanding of drawing 3D shapes, or understanding of human anatomy, you will have to work harder to make use of the information. This is a fantastic supplement to help you delve into the niche of drawimg antrho characters, but it's in no way a replacement or skip drawing fundamentals.

Pretty nice, it helped me get the direction where I want to stylize my art however you need to have your basics straight! Its difficult for beginners and you definitely need to grind to get your skills up to par, try this book while referencing other stuff like other artists.

The book itself is nice. The quality of the book, images & information inside is all great, but it's not going to teach you how to draw furries if you aren't already a somewhat experienced drawer. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a tutorial book as much as I'd consider it a guide to helping you hone your drawing skills. You don't have to be a good drawer for this book to be helpful, you just have to already know the basics of how to draw people, animals, things in 3D. Regardless, it is still helpful. I've made a few attempts to draw things using this book and with practice, I'm sure I'll improve, but there's a lot of other examples, tutorials, & other information I've had to use along with this book to get a better understanding of the basics. I find that I'm successfully able to draw something using this book, but I'm just doing what it's telling me to do, to draw that specific image. It doesn't give you an array if different poses or styles or examples to practice with, so it's still a struggle to use this information to just draw anything. Again, the book itself has very useful information and I'll keep it as it'll be useful once I've improved my skills, but if you're just starting out then I'd suggest looking elsewhere or even teaching yourself from stuff you find online first, then use this book to hone your skills. It would be awesome if this book was more expansive and was a series that started part 1 with very kindergarten black & basics that teaches you everything you need to know about blocking your characters body and poses and such, then as the series progresses it gets more in depth starting with simple drawings leading up to a book for an expert so that you can literally learn every single step of the way.

Definitely helps

You like furry art and want to create your own? Well, this is the book for you. It breaks down the animal structures and how to apply them to a human structure to bring life to your art in a very powerful way.

I had the Japanese edition on my wishlist for the longest time and I certainly am glad I waited as I am more confident in my english. beyond the hand with mini goat hooves instead of finger nails which look pretty cursed (don't worry, the other 3 goat hand designs are cute), I, as an intermediate artist found this to be genuinely helpful. Certainly, this is not a book for beginners (assuming you're actually going to use it, buying it for the pretty art is still well worth it) and it focuses more on how to structure your characters and provide examples of how their anatomy could look in a style that is relevant to what is out there on the market, say Brand New Animal or Beastars. At the price, I would easily recommend this to my friends, whereas with the japanese edition with the $30 price tag, here in the west, fell a tad high for me.

I’m an artist that primarily draws monsters and many creatures of lore have some animal anatomy. This book goes quite in-depth when describing and showing how to draw anthropomorphic creatures.. Though the book is 99% for drawing furries there is still info for creating the down-graded human animal hybrid, the Nemomimis and the like. The art is fun and the anatomy diagrams are great for reference. This is a great addition to my drawing guide collection. Look at that… and I said I wouldn’t buy anymore how to draw guides.

Esta muy bien hecho, si la edición de ropa para vestir personajes estuviera mas detallada estaría mucho mejor no encontré si tuviera forma de vestirlos, con base a su perspectiva pero todo está bien.

Love this book so much I brought another one by the same person, it's helping me improve my drawing easy to understand and follow great for those wanting to learn how to draw Furries

Molto semplice e utile per imparare le basi, molto contento dell'acquisto!

If there is one thing Japanese art books do, it is actually provide good drawing advise. This book is easily one of the best how to draw furry books out there. It goes over a wide variety of animals, and also how to draw a variety of body types. There is a lot in this book and anyone interested in drawing would be good to get this book.

Acabou de chegar. A capa teve algum dano (armações), mas uma encomenda internacional sem um leve dano acho que é pedir demais. De modo geral está em excelente estado. O guia de estudo parece bem completo, embora não seja algo para iniciantes e sim, para alguém que já sabe o básico, aprofundar seus conhecimentos. Estar em ingles não é um problema, já que mesmo eu não sendo um fluente, conseguiria entender o ingles aplicado, e qualquer coisa tem o Google e sua tradução de fotos.
