The media used for colog genga (original drawings)are felt markers, COPIC sketch markers are particularly popular, becuase they allow the artist to use a wide variety of styles and can be used with an airbrush. This publication presents in great detail COPIC sketch techniques, giving onsideration to suitability with the paper and even includes techniques of combining markers with pastels and other media. It is an unparralleled, innovative manual, proving excellent reference for the beginner and professional alike.

Title should be "How to Color Pin-Ups"

The tutorials are very easy to follow going in a step-by-step manner from original pencil drawing to fully-colored finished image. All the instructions are in color which allows for easier visual than black and white. There were surprisingly a good amount of other handy tips you can use for other purposes such as the tracing down technique for those without a lightbox, using origami paper as part of the image, and using a cotton swab to hold down the paper while you're airbrushing.

This is more of a book on how to color your pin-ups or manga covers than anything. Considering the materials used in this book are markers, airbrushes, brush, colored pencils, pastels, and an etching knife, this book is for the more intermediate and advanced artists.

Aside from the fact that this is basically one big ad for COPIC markers and airbrush, you can apply the techniques you learn in here with other more readily available and less expensive products.

For those that are hypersensitive to anything that has nudity on it, there are two images that may make you want to avoid this volume. One is a female sleeping on her side and wearing a buttoned down shirt and underwear showing quite a bit of her right chest, and the other has no clothing but hides her chest with her hands.

pretty good...

I borrowed this book from a classmate for a day, and i really liked it. It doesn't have pictures of naked people, but it has 2 somewhat disturbing pictures. it may seem like a huge advertising gimmick for copic, but it does give you useful information, like how to use an airbrush, how to gradate colors,mixing marker, colored pencil, and pastel colors, and tips on types paper and inks. the art seemed ugly sometimes but I tried to look over that. the guide character that appeared throughout the book looked as if the proportions were messed up; her boobs were too big, her legs too short, and she looked overall like a 7 year old.

but thats ok.
I liked the book. ^_^
