Theres no doubt about it: Japanese animation is hot. Television shows, films, and videos featuring the anime style of animation are wildly popular. Japanese animation is like a comic book come to life, retaining all its power but in moving form. It has a very different style from traditional western animation, incorporating heavy shading, dramatic camera angles, and beautifully rendered special effectsespecially the fantastic anime depictions of ocean waves, storms, smoke, and explosions. Easier to draw than its western counterpart, anime is more limited and simpler in its execution. In Japanese anime the characters move, but their movements are generally staccato, sharp, and dramaticnot freeflowing with lots of overlapping action, anticipation, and followthrough.In Anime Mania, famous cartoonist, teacher, and bestselling author Christopher Hart demonstrates how any comic book artist can become expert in this wonderful style of animation. Step by step, he details how to draw the coolest anime characters from the widest selection of popular styles: hightech cyberpunks who live in the world of the future; teen characterswith troubled relationships at school, home, and on the street; and mighty monsters, fantasy warriors, and giant robots. Aspiring animators will also find chapters on animes spectacular special effects, the role of storyboarding in anime, sketching and the art of character design, and a minicrash course in perspective. The book concludes with interviews with Scott Frazier, an American anime director working in Japan, and Mahiro Meada, a renowned Japanese animation director.Brimming with hundreds of spectacular examples, illustrations, and stepbystep exercises, Anime Mania details how anyone can become a real anime artist without having to reinvent the art of drawing.
