Go to Otaku.com and try "The Art of Otaku". they let you download a sample(or they did). From what I can see-it's a good book. i just can't afford it yet. :animecry:

It's available on CD now ^_^ and it does pretty much cover everything your are asking about (with the exception of maybe a super detailed tutorial on hands, but all the images that have hands are pretty detailed so you can see how they are done...there just aren't any specific instructions... though, if you really wanted, I could attempt to put together an easy tutorial on hands for you? though they take a lot of practice ^^)

Other than Art of Otaku, it's a bit hit or miss... the only book I've really seen that covers -almost- everything you mentioned is the Antartic Press How to Manga compilation book one and I've never seen it sold anywhere (I grabbed my copy offa ebay) I think it's around the same price as Art of Otaku (though not nearly as long ^^; )

You don't always have to find books on how to draw certain features. You should try finding some pictures with these features and practice by tracing. This will get you a little more comfortable with the style. I had this issue too. I can draw extremely well and never need a book to tell me how to do it. You just need to develope your own style and practice lots. If you need any more advice or anything you can write to me whenever you like. Hope this works for you! ;)
