How to Draw Manga & Anime

A book I wrote and illustrated, published in the USA in 2010 and still rated 4.5 stars by its readers.

Before interfaces, drawings

Long before I designed software, I drew. The book came out of teaching: breaking down proportion, gesture and expression into steps someone could actually follow.

The through-line to what I do now is more direct than it looks. Both are about making something complex legible to a person who has not seen it before — and both live or die on how well the sequence is ordered.
