Manhwa, the Korean name for comics, is fast becoming the next big craze in Asian comics. As a matter of fact, many fans of manga don't realize that their favourite comics, like Priest, Ragnarock, and Island, are actually Korean manhwa, not Japanese manga! This tutorial helps artists master the differences between manga and manhwa, which include less focus on big eyes and more on expressions and personality; replacing spiky hair with a more natural look; and drawing characters that don't typically possess magical powers but are instead fierce fighters made of flesh and blood. Artists learn through a step-by-step process how to draw the entire range of manhwa characters: from the extreme fighting-machine heroes and giant beasts to the sexy women, anti-heroes and evil warlords.
