Here's what I'm currently reading:Japanese Comickers
The tagline for this book is "Draw anime and manga like Japan's hottest artists". The book features gorgeous art by 14 incredible artists, and includes a step-by-step guide on how the pieces were created. Various techniques are featured, including PhotoShop, Copic marker & airbrush, ink blotting, and Liquitex.Japanese Comickers 2
The second book in the series. Same concept, but different artists. It features Korean & Chinese artists, in addition to Japanese ones. IMHO, the art is better in this book than the other one, so if you're looking to buy just one book, I'd recommend this one.
Seriously though, these books makes me want to quit my job, leave the corporate life and become a starving manga artist. Makes me wish I'd ignored my parents' wishes and gone to art school instead.
