Good news everyone! I've been approved for the third installment of Shojo Fashion books! Krisanne and I are still in the planning stages, so this one won't be out until 2014.

First of all, thank you to all of you that have purchased books 1 and 2, or if you've picked 'em up at libraries, had a look in bookstores etc. Thanks for your compliments and kind words (I read all the feedback you guys leave me here on DA and elsewhere). You are the reason that I have the opportunity to keep going with these books (seriously, those book sales numbers don't come from thin air!)

Book 1 focused on girls. Book 2 was advanced lessons in clothes, various bodytypes and ages. Book 3 will be focused on boys.

The difference of boy's anatomy/facial structure as compared to girls, lots men's fashions, and more examples on varying bodytypes and ages. I think this will be a really good book to round out the series.

The setup will closely follow book 1. The chapter titles will be the same, with anatomy and clothes for chapters 1-4, new characters introduced in chapter 5, and backgrounds for ch. 6 as well as character interaction with vehicles (bicycles, cars, atvs, etc).

PLEASE SEND YOUR SUGGESTIONS. I've already gotten a few requests/ideas for tutorials and clothing samples. I'd love to hear from you!

PS: If you've noticed those Hetalia easter eggs in book 2... well, I'll keep the fun going for this one as well :)

Hello Irene!
I have both of your Shojo Fashion Manga Art School books and they have really helped improve my manga. They have even helped in art class when we have to practice drawing forms. Your books were the manga books that helped teach me the best.
I'm very excited for Year 3 and bet it's going to be just as helpful as years 1 and 2.
Thank you!

Hi, Irene. Wanted to let you know that I have had Year 1 for a while now and just bought Year 2 today with a gift card I got for my birthday that just passed. I must say, I'm NOT disappointed. You really stepped it up with how to draw things like heavy-set people, older and younger people, and the detail on the school uniforms area is fantastic! So excited to hear about Year 3! I can't wait! Since you're asking for suggestions, maybe there could be a section on poses. Everyday poses, ya know.

Anyway, thanks for producing yet another fantastic book. I considered the first my "drawing bible" but now I have two bibles. Thank you for creating these wonderful books. They're the best I've ever seen. I prefer your style and detail that you put in your books over Chris Hart's! LOVE YOU!
