An artist's greatest gift is imagination. By learning how to create manga characters with personality-and place them in engaging backgrounds-you-can tell any story you want to! First, learn the basics of sketching: how to draw faces, figures, expressions, and clothing. Then, practice inspirational promts on coloring, composition and creativity to inspire endless story ideas. Use symbolism, mood and accessories to draw fantastic or realistic scenes. Use both traditional and digital coloring techniques to find your own engaging manga style.
