“Mark Crilley’s drawings are some of my favorite things to look at,
and this book is filled with beautiful examples of them! Each
drawing has a story, and the book is filled with insights on
technique, tools, and all things manga. If you are interested in
manga, or really any kind of cartooning or storytelling, Manga Art
is for you!"
—Jeff Smith, creator of BONE, RASL, and Tuki Save the
Humans
"Manga Art is bursting with creative thoughts and processes. Food
for any manga lover’s soul!"
—Camilla d’Errico, painter, creator of Helmetgirls, and
author of Pop Manga, Pop Painting, and Pop Manga Coloring Book
"I devoured this book in one sitting. Mark's work is beautiful and
inspiring, and I had so many sketching ideas by the end that I had
to slap my hands away from the art supply box so I could write
this, instead. Thank you, Mark, this book is another one that is
definitely going on my art shelf!"
—Svetlana Chmakova, author of Dramacon, Nightschool: The
Weirn Books, and Awkward
