But what is Manga?
Manga (漫画) is a classic Japanese drawing style for comics and graphic novels. Through drawing, the personality and temperament of the created character are conveyed, and reactions are amplified.
Topics covered in the course:
- drawing faces: eyebrows, ears, hair, eyes, mouth, nose, neck.
- maintaining proportions
- drawing personalized clothes
- details and shading
Trainer: Priit Allas
*The course is made possible thanks to additional state budget support for local governments allocated by the Ministry of Education and Research, aimed at implementing activities in the youth sector that support the integration and language learning of young war refugees from Ukraine.
