Manga Matrix presents an easy grid method for mastering manga, an increasingly popular comic style. Using this unique Japanese system, artists can plot and cross-section elements on a matrix diagram to create an infinite number of original characters, creatures, and multiformed beasts. Angels, demons, dragons, monsters, and robots are all included in this book, along with descriptions of costumes and personalities for each.

Manga Matrix is unlike any other manga instructional guide and is an invaluable resource for both the budding artist and the polished professional.

Makes creating characters much easier and well structured too!	Customer Rating: 4 out of 5
I am an Anime fan, have been for years. Inspired by the style and the expression of individuality through design, I have struggled to come up with characters and personalities of my own. With this book as my guide I've found that creating interesting characters can be super easy with a little bit of organized thought in the creation process. If nothing else, this book will leave you full of inspiration and renewed hope of being able to create amazing work of your own, all in your own style!
A Great Reference Book!!	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
I purchased this book a few months ago and have been using it for inspiration to aid me in fresh new character designs.I find this book very valuable and very much worth the money I spent.This book has constantly helped me to see character design in a new and fresh perspective.
Amazing book for ideas	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
Veery good book to ideas and the matrix sistem helps alot to do new (and good) characters, its a big book and worth all the money. Note: this book is NOT a how to draw book, it teaches how to create characters not how to draw them.
Inspirational	Customer Rating: 4 out of 5
This book shows how to combine different elements in creating a new and original character. Beautiful work. Only weakness is not that much step by step instructions for someone wanting to practice this method of character creation. He creates the characters without any intervening steps - just a grid showing what elements he selected and the end result.
unleash your own creativity	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
Make sure you don't just look at the pictures and you'll learn plenty from this book! It does a great job of breaking down parts of the body to help you think how to combine different things to combine unique characters. If you are only looking to copy drawings, this is not for you. But if you are serious about creating your own characters this is tremendously helpful. The art in the book are certainly of high quality, but the process that it takes you through to understand how to effectively create character is extremely helpful. I have a bunch of other famous "how to draw" books, but this really goes beyond how to draw to what to draw. This is not for beginners to quickly learn how to draw something impressive, but for serious artists who really want to explore their own creativity with a tour guide. Loving it, and so worth rereading too!
