About This Activity
Instructor: Derris Dabbs 
Jump into the world of visual storytelling in Manga Mania: Digital Comic Books, a digital drawing class for teens inspired by the art and style of manga and graphic novels. Using iPads and Procreate, students will learn essential digital illustration techniques including sketching, expressive line work, shading, and stylized character design. Through guided instruction and hands-on projects, teens will explore the fundamentals of comic creation, including panel layout, visual pacing, facial expressions, and action poses. Students will develop original characters and short comic scenes while building confidence using digital tools and refining their personal artistic style. This class is ideal for beginners and teens interested in illustration, comics, and storytelling. No prior experience is required. iPads will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own. On the final day of camp, we invite parents to a special reception to celebrate their young artists and to see the work your children have created throughout the week.
