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 part of my course series 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!
