What you'll do
Join me for this Manga University online class and I'll show you how to draw manga characters from head to toe.
You will see a full screen of my canvas as I teach you the techniques I use when creating manga for Shonen Sunday and other manga publications in Japan.
Head First: Our class will begin at the top, as I show you how to draw heads and faces. After all, heads are the first thing most people notice, in both art and out in the real world. You want to make sure your characters make a vivid first impression. I'll explain the basics of drawing eyes, noses, mouths, ears, and hair.
All about bodies: Once we've covered faces, I'll move on to teaching you how to draw bodies. We'll go over the differences between male and female body proportions, count heads to determine the heights of our characters, and learn how to draw hands, arms, feet, and legs.
Clothes make the character: After we've sketched our characters from top to bottom, I'll show you how fun it is to draw clothes that look natural and three-dimensional. You won't want to miss these fashion drawing tips.
Your manga friends in Japan: During the class, you'll be able to ask questions and show me your own artwork.
This Experience is great for team-building. Book a private
