The third volume of a book that summarizes the work of Mitsuo Iso, a super creator in the anime world who is highly regarded both inside and outside the industry.
This book contains various materials such as proposals drawn by Mitsuo Iso in pre-production (the process before drawing), idea memos, scenarios, settings, and storyboards. Most of the recorded materials are being published for the first time. It is a rich book full of originality unique to Mitsuo Iso. Works included include "Dennou Coil", "GHOST IN THE SHELL", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Rahxephon", and "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket".
It has a specific art-style but it's also a good one. I found it especially useful for it's overall heads and faces. Drawing a good body is one thing but you need a well-shaped head and face to really give life to your drawing.
Really helps give you the references you need going forward.
One of the most important things about drawing, is knowing what you want to draw before starting. Reference is probably one of the most integral parts to art, even if it's from another's art. Asian Fantasy (and girls) is something many love for varying reasons. I love that traditional culture aspect and this is good for that.
It can be easy to forget how hard is it to draw eyes.
This book will definitely give you ideas and references on how to start your journey into drawing better eyes. Even if you don't care to get too into the super high detail, it will help even with simplistic style before it gets more complicated.
