Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Arrive at the Manga School Nakano for your approximately 3-hour manga lesson. Meet your instructor and fellow students, then listen to a brief lecture on techniques and the history of manga. Students of all skill levels are welcome; the instructor will adjust their lessons to you, whether you're a complete beginner or honing your craft. 

Try out some manga production tools such as screen tones, inks and three different types of specialized pen nibs. Begin working on your own manga-type character in a step-by-step way, listening to instructions or demonstrations with each step. Beginners can choose from various manga references to copy with the instructor's help. Manga drawing has several processes; pencil drawing (draft), inking (erasing all pencil lines), painting black parts, correcting mistakes and adding highlights with white ink. The last step is pasting screen tones (grey parts, textures, effects).

At the conclusion of your class, you'll walk away with your finished manga drawing as a souvenir.

Excellent and friendly instructor! It was a good learning experience for me and boys aged 11 and 9. We got to learn about how to draw faces and body structures, chibi appearance of characters and adding cool effects via cut-outs.

The manga drawing lessons blew our expectations. Its an unique experience and totally worth the price. Yazawa-sensei is very experienced and will help you improve your drawing and help you fix little details. The 3 hour session is a very short time, so it is recommended to prepare your specific questions before hand. I totally recommend this lesson

Wonderful Experience

I took a private session with Nao and learned so much in our few hours together. We worked on drawing a full scale figure-beginning with understanding proportions and then working on moving the character into a 3/4 action position. I got the chance to try out many Manga artist’s tools—beginning with markup pencil then lead, ink and eventually shading overlays and highlights. Really enjoyed the lesson. Nao is extremely talented yet approachable and friendly.

I'm so glad I had this lesson with Nao. She was able to adapt the instruction to my level and interests. The only downside was that the time went too fast and I have so much to learn. If I lived in Japan I would enrol and go weekly if I could!! Thanks Nao.
