A Word about the Book
The most basic technical skills required for creating manga are
without doubt penning and using screen tone. Even if you
suddenly get the idea to draw manga using new materials or
software, the original impetus spurring you to create manga in
the first place was likely that image of yourself as the artist
moving your ink-dipped pen rapidly across the paper, or that
image of yourself carefully trimming the screen tone and with
all your might pressing it down on the under drawing, or
perhaps from that feeling of elation or desire to shout with joy
at the image of yourself holding the completed artwork in your
ink and glue caked hands after having expended sweat and tears
on its creation.
This volume is not intended for professional artists, but rather
for aspiring manga artists or those manga hobbyists who would
like to try their hands at creating themselves. lt offers thorough
explanations of pen and screen tone techniques taking a fun and
easy-to-understand approach. The author provides invaluable
assistance to the readers based upon his lengthy years cf
practice as a manga artist and his bountiful experience in
instructing aspiring manga artists.
We would like to express our gratitude to Art Color K.K. for
supplying the specialized art paper for all of the original manga
artwork used in this book. We would also like to extend our
sincerest thanks to Too Corporation and Art Color K.K. who
provided all of the other materials and tools used in the artwork
for this book.

When drawing the background, make an effortto evoke the sense of an inhabited space
(i.e. that people actually live in the houses or town y0u are drawing).
The telephone wires, curtains, street signs, TV antennas, etc. generate
the sense of an inhabited space.

What suggests inhabitation in this
scene is touches like the piled up old
newspapers and magazines and the
grime on the wall. 7
1 Think carefully about proportions when drawing characters together with a
background setting. The desks, bookshelves, chairs, and other objects in this
scene all must be drawn in correct proportions.
