The sixth book in the bestselling Master Guide to Drawing Anime series, Expressions & Poses focuses on using principles of figure drawing to create anime characters and scenes.

In this new title, Christopher Hart combines two subjects he is well known for--figure drawing and how to draw anime. The classic concepts of figure drawing are a perfect place to start to learn to draw for the aspiring anime artist. This anime drawing book gives readers step-by-step instructions on how to apply basic figure-drawing principles to the anime style that fans love. Chris covers figure-drawing fundamentals--such as proportions, posture, and poses--along with the finishing touches that infuse anime characters with personality. For example, a simple hand gesture can define an entire scene! This figure drawing book teaches readers how to draw hands and gestures, along with faces, contours, poses, anime costumes and clothing, scenes, and more. Each lesson offers tips and tricks that will demystify the drawing process, giving artists a solid figure-drawing foundation that they can apply to the anime style and beyond.

Suitable for all levels, from beginners who are just starting to learn how to draw anime, to advanced users who want to hone their skills, this is the ideal resource for all fans of anime and manga drawing, and can be used on its own or with the other titles in the Master Guide to Drawing Anime series. Drawing books are a perennial present to inspire young artists and a popular gift for teens. There is no greater tool than an art book to spark creativity, develop new artistic skills, and help kids and teens channel their energy towards positive self-expression.

In 2022 we are living through a global pandemic, and vaccines are one of the most effective strategies for slowing the spread of infectious disease, minimizing symptoms, and lowering healthcare demands. In short, vaccines save lives and can reduce the risk of contagion from social interaction. In the United States in late 2021, after the vaccines had been broadly available for almost a year, one in five adults still chose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Art can disrupt what is embedded in our minds and open us up to new perspectives and insights. We hope to offer access to images, insights, and knowledge that help people have the freedom to consider their role in the pandemic and the role of vaccines. We hope that experiencing the creativity, humor, and sentiments of artists will encourage those who have avoided the COVID-19 vaccine to reconsider and take advantage of a way to prepare their immune system should they be exposed to the virus. We are thrilled to provide the posters for those who want to enjoy, reflect, and share them with others who are inspired by the power of vaccines and who want to help stop the spread of deadly viruses.
