You can find them in many instructional books. But at least that’s not how we Japanese manga artists see it. Of course, I’m not saying that you don’t need a theme or a story, but there is a more important thing to consider first.
That’s “THE CHARACTER”.
Many beginners fail because they think too hard about their theme or story without thinking about the Character. I’m so excited to share this knowledge with you here on Skillshare!
“Think of the Character”, it’s easy to say, but it’s actually vague, and you don’t know how to think of it, do you? So, in this class, I will share with you The Resume Method that I used in my university classes, and I will teach you specifically how to create a Character. This method allows you to concretely understand your Character, and it allows them to begin to move freely within your story. This method is very effective not only for manga, but also for short stories and scripts, and even illustrations.
I hope that you will find the importance of the Character and make your storytelling even more fun. See you in class!
