The volume known as "compiling application and practice" fascinated me since it is easy to forget that drawings even, when done with accurate precision, can still look off when seen from the human eye. Manga artists have tricks such as adding a tree to hide corners and emphasise certain camera angles over others. I didn't buy these books to copy what was in them but to understand how I work, since I'm sure every artist who observes others tackle their subject has asked "what makes their work look so better than mine".
One book is a guide to drawing suits and school uniforms, some would find this dull and boring but for someone like myself who can't afford models and just wants to practice I think it was worth my money. Not everything book of the series is the same since they each have different authors, I was wise to read book reviews before purchasing mine.
