Many people would like to doodle anime and manga characters and share their enthusiasm with others but find them difficult to draw and don’t know where to start or who to ask for help. There are so many fascinating and inspiring characters – join our group for encouragement and techniques, and even tips on how to create your own characters.
Artist and calligrapher Blair has visited Japan often and enjoys working with young people and adults to help them express their interests and enthusiasm for Anime and Japanese culture.
Join simply with pencil and paper, or any other materials you like, such as pens or coloured pencils or watercolours. Blair will draw a character and give drawing guidance, you can follow step by step, or just draw what you are interested in. We will provide example pictures before the group, that you can print or view on a device. Feel free to draw a picture of your best loved character and ask Blair for tips! This group is family friendly, please don’t share adult or unsuitable content during the session.
Total beginners are welcome and we ask that young people should be accompanied or supervised please. Recommended age is 10+ to adults. Our group is by Zoom and is easygoing with a warm welcome.
