Trying out my hand at Manga. I am following some of the tutorials on Youtube, particularly those of Mark Crilley and I also purchased his book, Mastering Manga. I highly recommend this book and his videos and if you want to support him, order his books!

Expecting to create more Manga artwork in the future! Thank you for reading.
