An indispensable reference guide for manga artists presenting hundreds of different body positions, actions, movements and hand gestures!

This complete guide shows you how to draw your characters with the right proportions and perspectives when performing all sorts of actions. With useful tips on depicting dynamic motions and movements more accurately you can make your drawings look more realistic! Are your characters opening an umbrella? Fussing with their phones? Or talking with their hands? Or are they flying through the air and landing blows in the midst of a fight?

With over 1,100 illustrations to guide you, this book helps you draw your characters with the right proportions and perspectives while doing all sorts of different things:

  • Making hand gestures ranging from a peace sign to a heart to a fist bump
  • Sitting, kneeling, crouching, walking, running or jumping with legs extended
  • Putting on gloves, pushing up glasses, taking a drink or fixing their hair
  • Executing flying kicks and complicated martial arts maneuvers
  • And hundreds of other different actions and movements!

Start with basic hand gestures before moving onto more complex movements and poses involving the entire body. This comprehensive guide offers you over 1,000 different options. It is the perfect reference book to have on hand at all times, so you can figure out how to draw exactly the pose or position you are trying to create.
