Description

Have you ever wished to draw your own manga but have difficulty when it comes to planning out your project? Or are you an illustrator, who wants to go into sequential art? Then this course is for you.


My name is Olga Rogalski from Studio Oruga. I have published manga professionally and have been in love with manga for many many years. In this course I want to teach you my techniques.


In this course I will be teaching you how to turn a manga idea into an executable concept for a short story. One of the first things I learned, when I started drawing manga, was the importance to be able to portray a story on a limited amount of pages. Whether for a contest or for a publisher, this is a skill that is absolutely essential! Now, I would like to share my knowledge with you. Let´s get those amazing ideas that are still stuck in your head onto paper!

So let´s begin!

After you have finished all the lectures, I suggest that you develop the concept for a 20 page story by using the materians and information provided in this course.

I want you to do the following things:

  1. Come up with the idea for a short story

  2. Write the scenes that will happen in the story and assign pages to them based on the Beginning - Midpoint - Conclusion-system

  3. Write down the dialogues and panel descriptions of what will happen on the pages.

  4. Develop character descriptions that fit the story

  5. Plan your project by using the materials from the Project Management part

  6. Use the page templates in order to plan your paneling by using the information from the Paneling section

Good luck!
