1st printing. HOW TO DRAW THE BAD GUYS OF ANIME AND MANGA If you love to draw anime and manga, you know that every great story needs a great villain. Luckily, inspiration is all around you and the possibilities are limitless! From plant to animal to mineral, all you need to do is borrow from the natural (or supernatural) world--from insects and plants to animals, and even elements. You will see how to incorporate their parts into your character drawings for completely original (and sinister!) results. Blurring the line between reality and fantasy, creatures inspired by bears, jellyfish, spiders, trees, smoke and more make really good bad guys! Inside you'll find: • 50 original characters, including the evil Whispy Witch, a flame-inspired villain who can make herself invisible and who possesses shapeshifting abilities • Front, back and action-pose views of all 50 characters with close-ups of important details, like the Conniving Cutie, a mischievous villain whose yellow eyes are reminiscent of a snake and whose hair and clothing emulate snake-like imagery and movement • Advice for developing personality and coloring your creatures, like the dangerous Crusading Crustacean; you'll want to color him red and include details like an impenetrable shell and spiky hair to symbolize his toughness Be inspired to create your own dastardly manga characters! Softcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 128 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.99.

1st printing. By Susannah Gora. Cover by Dave MacDowell. You can quote lines from Sixteen Candles ("Last night at the dance my little brother paid a buck to see your underwear"), your iPod playlist includes more than one song by the Psychedelic Furs and Simple Minds, you watch The Breakfast Club every time it comes on cable, and you still wish that Andie had ended up with Duckie in Pretty in Pink. You're a bonafide Brat Pack devotee?and you're not alone. The films of the Brat Pack?from Sixteen Candles to Say Anything?are some of the most watched, bestselling DVDs of all time. The landscape that the Brat Packmemorialized?where outcasts and prom queens fall in love, preppies and burn-outs become buds, and frosted lip gloss, skinny ties, and exuberant optimism made us feel invincible?is rich with cultural themes and significance, and has influenced an entire generation who still believe that life always turns out the way it is supposed to. You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried takes us back to that era, interviewing key players, such as Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and John Cusack, and mines all the material from the movies to the music to the way the films were made to show how they helped shape our visions for romance, friendship, society, and success.
