Manga Art Tutorials

The following pdfs are detailed walkthroughs of just about every aspect of manga creation. I use these lessons to teach beginner and intermediate level artist at the Vancouver Manga Artist Meet-up. I created these documents based on a vast compilation of my notes from many books and reading materials on the subject of manga, therefore I take little personal credit for the ideas and concepts presented in them. I just hope it helps you get along a little better with your life as a manga-ka :) Enjoy!
