"When you start the production process with solid ideas, planning & flow, you're paving the way for a clearer, more impactful narrative"
Finding Your Voice Through Manga: From Story to Finished Pages
Learn how to think like a manga artist, not how to copy one.
Instead of following existing styles, Perdizzion focuses on the core principles that help you build a style that is genuinely your own. From world-building and story planning to scriptwriting, panel flow, sketching, and screentoning, the class covers the essential stages of the manga-making process with a strong emphasis on preparation and clear visual storytelling.
At its core, the course focuses on panel flow and pacing as essential storytelling tools. You’ll learn how to turn ideas into readable scripts, scripts into dynamic pages, and finished artwork into publishable manga for web or print. By the end of the course, you’ll complete your own web manga and gain the confidence and foundation to continue creating and sharing stories in your own style.

Why Take This Class?
This course is designed for aspiring manga creators who feel stuck or overwhelmed when turning ideas into finished pages. Instead of focusing only on drawing skills, it approaches manga as a structured creative process built on preparation, clarity, and intentional planning. Through hands-on exercises in brainstorming and pre-production, students will learn how to organize loose ideas into clear, workable scripts and avoid common problems such as unfocused stories or abandoned projects.
A defining feature of the class is its strong emphasis on pre-production and storytelling structure. Students learn how to plan panels, pacing, and page flow before drawing, resulting in cleaner layouts and a smoother production process. By focusing on believable character relationships and emotional flow, the course helps students create manga that feels immersive, grounded, and engaging from start to finish.
