Drawing manga book rec?

[emmagrant01]

My 11yo niece is starting to get interested in drawing manga, and she's actually quite good. She's been working from how-to videos on YouTube so far, and I'd love to get her a book on the topic. There are SO many, and I'm not finding Amazon reviews very helpful.

Any recommendations from the artists out there? TIA!

I went to DeviantArt and typed in "manga drawing tutorial" and got 4577 hits.

Here's a sample: http://zaphiel-san.deviantart.com/art/Manga-Anime-Face-Tutorial-143307692

:D
Also, I've found LOADS of those at my local library in the nonfiction art section.

I don't know how good it is, but my son has the comic version of this: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Toys-games/Getting-Started-Complete-Manga-drawing-kit/e/92633804230/?itm=1&USRI=manga+drawing+kit

Forgot to add that it comes with a body model, drawing instruction book, pencils, and a sketch book. He really enjoys his.
