You have the book. Here’s what comes next.
The book teaches you how to draw with pencil, on paper: line control, faces, bodies, and perspective. It doesn’t teach you how to use the software I use to create my own manga pages.
That’s what I’m giving you here, because you have the book.

What comes after the character?
The book stops where the real challenge begins: the page. Storyboarding, panels, reading flow, speech bubbles, inking, and screen tones.
This is what almost no one teaches. You learn how to draw a beautiful character, then find yourself staring at a blank page with no idea how to fill it.
The “Draw Your First Manga” program takes you from the very beginning all the way to a completed first chapter. There are 670 members in the Dōjō.
