This workshop will focus on all aspects of character creation and development – from facial features and poses to designing a character sheet. You will also learn about creating manga-style comics, and draw your own short comics featuring your characters. By the end of this session, you will turn into a manga expert! The session will be led by Irina Richards, an experienced manga creator and artist educator.

This event is being hosted as part of Cambridge University Libraries' exhibition, Samurai: History and Legend. Samurai are a well-known image of Japan, but they are as much legend as history. Our exhibition explores the literary image of the samurai and the changing nature of Japanese warrior history and culture from the 12th to the 19th centuries. Our exhibition is on now and is free and open to all.
