You can try out the dip pen with three different nibs: the G-pen, the Mapping pen, and the Saji-pen. Explore the unique drawing experiences each one offers. Once the inking is done, you'll add effect lines, do the BETA (the process of painting black), and paste tones to complete your line drawing.Experience the basics of manga drawing in Kyoto, the heart of manga education in Japan![No previous experience is necessary]
Japanese manga artists have skillfully created diverse lines by using dip pens. However, while these pens allow for various lines, they can be challenging for beginners due to their strong characteristics compared to markers. Why not try them out and see the difference for themselves? By the end of this course, you'll know traditional Japanese manga techniques.
