A developing style among artists these days, here is a chance to learn manga techniques. While there are a lot of information out there, but it would be better to have some formal training.
Especially with a digital art software twist on this site, you have a lot of freedom to explore this style without making costly mistakes!
Whether in Photoshop, GIMP, Corel Painter, or Paintshop Pro, whatever your goals for learning manga is, you can use any of these programs as a medium to help realize your imagination.
Since your time is valuable, why spend it looking for ways to learn manga? Instead, wouldn’t it be better if someone had a created an online course to coach you all the necessary concepts?
That’s why…
Malcom Matheson is an experienced teacher and manga artist. Through the years, he has created a book outlining the process.
This is a wonderful chance to use your digital art software to produce an original art form that utilizes characters, backgrounds, and a story element.
Not only that, he teaches you to really get a good understanding of gesture form so you can build a good artistic foundation just like what this site emphasizes.
Here’s what the book contains…
The book itself, called ‘Mad About Manga - How to Draw Manga’, is an eBook that not only teaches you how to draw manga type eyes, expressions, etc, but it kicks it up a notch by showing you how to develop your characters and story.
This is a lengthy book that contains information on:
In addition, there is a free bonus eBook included in the package called, ‘Chreating Chibi Characters’. This eBook is a seven stage process that teaches you how to draw and paint super deformed characters.
It is a valuable addition to the course because these types of characters make excellent promotional items (since they can be printed on any form of advertisements cheaply).
To become a respectable artist, you have to show your potential clients just how flexible you are.
While drawing realism shows them you have an extremely good artistic foundation, manga is one type of style that shows how just how flexible you can be.
Unless you live in the country that has mastered this form (Japan and other parts of Asia), it is almost impossible to find adequate instructional resources on this style.
This course is one of the first of its kind that aims to expand instructional information about this style outside of Asia.
As the industry grows through globalization, manga art has become a really popular trend within the last few decades. Therefore, it would be wise to take advantage of what this course offers so you can improve and expand on your own skill set.
In addition, digital art software that is learned here will help you take advantage of this style as most of the newer manga promotional items are going digital. What’s not to love?
I wish you the very best in your journey!
