| Comments | After seeing how good number three was, I went and purchased this one as well; and again I am not dissapointed. This was a book published by Comickers containing “How Tos” and interviews with some of Japan’s top artists today. This issue includes Inomata Mutsumi, Kaneko Kazuma, Suemi Jun, Hiroyuki Utatane, Meruhenmeka, Yura Kairi, Kusanagi Takuhito, Yumeno Rei & Tanaka Kunihiko. Each how to is detailed and lots of information is provided on the tools, mediums etc. The added bonus of this book, as in the others are the black & white versions of the images used to do the “How Tos.” A sort of invitation to rip them out, and give colouring in a go! A nice collection of artwork, good presentation, but it gets a 3 because it’s not really an “artbook!”
