Praise

PRAISE for Christopher Hart:

“Hart is an excellent teacher, and the easy-to-follow, kid-friendly instructions of Young Artists Draw Manga will inspire, not frustrate, a beginning artist, just as previous books of the series have done. In fact, Hart’s books have sold more than 3.1 million English-language copies; have been translated into 20 languages; and have been selected by the American Library Association for special notice.”—Examiner.com
