Sketch with Asia: Manga-inspired Art and Tutorials by Asia Ladowska

A wondefull books for those who already learned the basics
If you already read one of the other books that explain how to draw basics in more details, this will be a wondefull book to learn some more things as well as get tips and tricks from another artist.If you are just starting out from zero, this book has a few basics on how to draw a face but is missing and assuming you know the basics of drawing hands and body. It does offer you some more tips on improvement.I especially like colouring tips for hair.Would definetly recomend checking out the book for those who already know the basics.

Had to know more
I was sat at local coffee shop reading a digital arts magazine when I came across an article that shown this artists style of work and after learning she had a book I tracked it down and got myself a copy. It was everything and more. From the how did she get started to her methods and hints and tips. Well worth the money and a must have for anyone looking to be inspired

A beautiful and different take on and emerging artists journey and learning development
Learning to draw has been a fantastic journey; with every book, you know something different, which is excellent. With this book, you know differently; it's not teaching you just techniques or how-to's (while there is this type of content, too) but instead providing sound advice on how to get the most out of your artistic journey and develop your unique sense of style while accepting and embracing mistakes. Things many new artists probably need to think of doing are advised in this valuable book!!! So much value. The artwork is beautiful. The book is well put together, and it's high quality. Every page is crisp and durable. I was wondering at first if this book would be helpful. Still, after reading only a few pages here and there, I am so glad I got the book because, again, it's not just ordinary technique teachings. It's one artist sharing experience that helped their progression and growth. Well worth the money. It's high-quality printing, too; I will buy and explore every other book like this and see its value. Lastly, the techniques are taught differently in this book, and I like the style of how the content is being prepared.

Una buena ayuda e impulso.
Las palabras de la artista me fueron de ayuda para tener una motivación de nuevo. Además, los consejos presentados son muy buenos, al igual que la galería visual. El estilo manga ha sido de mi agrado desde hace años, sin embargo lo deje de practicar por un tiempo, de modo que compré este libro para reavivar ese gusto y creo que fue una buena decisión, sobre todo porque Asia estuvo en una situación similar. Muy recomendado.

LOVE! Half tutorials, half artist advice/journey.
I absolutely love this book! It's so beautiful to flip through and has a high, professional, quality.This book definitely has a fair number of tutorials, including examples for digital painting or using copic markers, but it's not near as tutorial-oriented as other art books I've had. If you're looking for an in-depth how-to-draw, this probably doesn't have everything you're looking for.About 1/4 to 1/3 of the book is more focused on her journey up to this point and general art advice that she's learned over the years. I thought it was all well done and very fascinating. With art tutorials so accessible online these days, I enjoyed the break from purely instructional, and a chance to get to know her a little more.10/10 Would definitely recommend!
