Coope shares her personal story as 'HowToDrawMangaRedraw' hashtag trends
In 2002,
Scholastic published a book titled
How to Draw Manga, which featured drawing advice from the then 16-year-old artist Katy Coope. The cover image is shown below:
Why is this long out-of-print book relevant today? Last Thursday, pixel artist TAHK0 started the #HowToDrawMangaRedraw hashtag by encouraging artists to redraw the character on the cover illustration in their own style. He also paid his respects to the book by tweeting: "I spent many summer days redrawing characters from this book as a kid & now I can look back & appreciate the role this played in becoming the artist I am today. It's time for us artists to make that pilgrimage back to where many of us began and redraw a character one more time."
