JLI showcases this graphic art genre in a series of workshops that introduce skills and techniques used in producing manga. Artists complete exercises based on reference of popular anime to develop and understanding of the human form, variations of the character such as chibi and mecha, illustration effects, and composition. This quarter we will "level up" to the artwork of the popular video game "Street Fighter". Join us on Fridays from 330-430.
