Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Meet a published manga artist in her Tokyo studio, where she quickly demos the exact pens, papers, inks, and screen tones she uses. Choose your challenge—inking a prepared sketch, tightening a rough outline, or designing a character from scratch—so the lesson matches your level. The artist guides you step-by-step through pencil roughs, line-weight tricks, and screen tone effects, correcting your hand position and strokes as you draw. You’ll paste real screen tone, add highlights, and get an on-the-spot critique plus a mini shopping map for art supplies in Tokyo. Leave with a signed illustration, pro-level tips, and photos to show off your first manga masterpiece.
