You get all the emotion from the eyes; they are the gateway to the character’s soul. Eyes are the manga artist’s catchphrase or calling card. Next time you’re reading \u003ci\u003eNaruto\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChobits\u003c\/i\u003e, or even \u003ci\u003eVampire Knight\u003c\/i\u003e—some of my personal favorites—take a look at the characters’ eyes and notice the differences in the style and execution. Each manga artist has a signature way of drawing eyes. My eyes are “circle eyes,” and that’s the style you’re about to learn. But I want you to take the steps I teach you and run with them, altering them to match your own style and your own characters’ personalities. Remember, it’s your signature, so have fun!\"","brand":"Watson-Guptill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304049987813,"sku":"NP9780307985507","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780307985507.jpg?v=1767734960","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/pop-manga-isbn-9780307985507","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
