Open New Doors for Your Art
You may have spent years learning software and anatomy fundamentals. But something is still missing: the workflow and the discipline that makes the spirit of Anime and Manga connect with millions.
While western art schools teach rules, Japanese masters teach soul. Step inside the closed doors of Tokyo's top Manga academy and start your journey today. Whether you plan to fly to Tokyo or master the craft from home, this free program is your first step.
Why Learn From Class Creatives & DEOW?
This course features a professional manga instructor in Tokyo. Here in the West, art schools often push anime and manga completely to the side. They might teach you the basic rules of art, but they don't teach the soul of the Japanese pipeline. Learn the secrets such as specialized panel work, inking, screen tones, and the storytelling techniques used by Shonen Jump pros. We have partnered with DEOW Japan to unlock that door for you for free!
