Develop an unwavering drawing skill that ensures perfect proportions in any artwork.

Unlike traditional sketching methods that rely on hatching for light and shadow, this revolutionary technique captures form using lines and tonal variations alone, allowing for soft, dynamic lines that convey depth and movement.

Manga artist Usamaru Furuya exclaims in excitement:
“Having Keita Kurosaka himself teach this—this is a big deal!”

This is a newly redesigned edition of the book originally published in 2012.
