Premesso che non so né leggere né scrivere in giapponese, avviso chiunque che questo libro NON è un manga ma è un libro per artisti. Insegna, grazie anche a belle illustrazioni, la costruzione di personaggi animali antropomorfi. La traduzione del libro sarebbe gradita, ma grazie ai molti disegni si capisce comunque ciò che cerca di insegnare.
Dieses Buch zeigt verschiedene Tierarten in Anthro Version z.B. Wolf, Katze, Drache,Vogel, Orca usw. Dort wird auch die Mimik gezeigt und wie z.B. der Körperbau sich je nach Geschlecht, Gewicht und Alter unterscheidet.
The content the book provides is quite resourceful and especially helpful when it comes to wanting to learn the basics of anatomy and the kemono style. The obvious thing to keep in mind, however, is that this book is in Japanese; but despite this and my inability to comprehend what is being said in the book, I still found the visual guides quite helpful when nailing down the features that make a character a type of animal.
However, the only complaint I have is that I feel as though the material in this book is kind of lacking. The book is about 44-50 pages long and in some ways, I was hoping the artists/authors would include a little more content like focus on other species, such as rodents, deers, etc. Some might not see this as a deal breaker, but for those who anticipate that this guide will feature every animal species out there might come out disappointed.
I would say for those who wish to look for a good guide to drawing Kemono, Anthro or "Furry" art, this is perhaps a good stepping stone. This book is especially a great resource guide for nailing down anatomy in various ways and does a great job comparing how to infuse animal features into human-style anatomy. However, for the price, I personally believe that a bit more content could have been added.
