With Natalia Batista
Join International Women of Manga creator Natalia Batista’s masterclass as she takes you on a journey to create your own manga! Hosted by Kae Winters of TOKYOPOP, this thirteen lesson live stream series will teach you how to write a story, create characters, plan out panels, draw backgrounds and so much more.
Bring your own materials, and if you’re not sure what you’ll need, make sure you watch the first lesson for Natalia’s outline on tools, supplies and preparation for getting started.
When the course has concluded and you’ve got everything you need, it’s time to create your masterpiece! We’ll be hosting a contest here at TOKYOPOP to review your work, and a few lucky winners will have one-on-one professional feedback sessions with Natalia, plus the chance to win a bundle of TOKYOPOP manga.
