Walking into the office the other day, I came across one of the various pose books we carry, the "High School Girls" pose collection for mangaka. After just watching Danny Choo's Culture:Japan trailer, and remembering him writing about how hard it was to get filming permission, I thought these pose books are and excellent way to see Japan in a different light.
The fact is that there are all kinds of different pose books for traditional artists and mangaka alike. Let's take a quick look at a several choice selections from our book catalog.
For those of you looking to perfect the human female form, the Ima-doki Nude Pose-shu will be perfect.
How about some Moe poses?
I was also able to find a selection of BL themed pose books, BL/Yaoi manga are big sellers here.
Again, if you're interested in drawing the insides of schools or Japan in general, we've got the excellent Background Visual Material series.
Finally, if you're interested in the mythical, Ghibli forest, kinda thing, you must get the Kusanagi series of Background Illustrations.
With the Japanese manga/anime industry outsourcing more and more, foreign mangaka will need to get their scenery in order. There's plenty of help though, right from the source.
