Love anime? Curious about manga art? Start here!
Whether you're a total beginner or getting back into drawing, this five-week course is the perfect introduction to manga-style illustration.
Led by artist and lifelong anime fan Gabrielle Coppola, this hands-on, small-group course is all about building your drawing skills, confidence, and creative voice in a relaxed and encouraging studio setting.
You’ll create your own manga-inspired artwork each week, with references drawn from the Katy Coope manual, your favourite anime characters, or original ideas.
What You’ll Learn:
Each class builds on the last. You’ll explore:
* Basic head & face proportions in manga
* Expressive eyes & facial expressions
* Stylised body shapes & dynamic poses
* Character design & clothing
* Shading & outlining techniques
* Overcoming fear of the blank page & making mistakes
All Materials Provided:
All supplies are included – just bring yourself! Optional: feel free to bring your own sketchbook, markers, or iPad (though the focus will be on hand-drawing, not digital editing).
Drop-In Option:
Can’t commit to all five weeks?
You’re welcome to attend individual classes for $60 per session.
Note: full-course bookings have priority if classes fill up.
Who It’s For:
* Absolute beginners ready to start drawing
* Anyone looking for a fun creative outlet
* Anime & manga fans of all ages
* Artists returning after a break
Let your inner artist out in this welcoming, no-pressure workshop series.
