If you find yourself doodling characters and comics on your off time, and if you like visual novels and animated series, this is the place for you! Join in on a cozy group-oriented setting with themed design challenges and an interactive environment. The class consists of a basic overview lecture of various topics - composition, color choice, panelling & storytelling, and anatomy practice - as well as additional one-on-one tips and critiques on the current works-in-progress.

Payments and make ups:

The payments for ongoing classes are either per semester (available only before the semester starts) or monthly, with automatic monthly charge. Monthly payment is collected on the same day each month and the billing starts either on the day of the first class of semester (if you signed up before the start of the semester) or on the day of the registration. Payment for the last month of the semester is prorated, if less than 4 classes fall into last billing cycle. Our registration is for the whole semester, even if you choose the monthly payments. In case you decide to discontinue the classes before the end of the semester, please let us know 30 days ahead of time, and we will stop the auto-payment. Payments are made through our secure online registration system which accepts all major credit cards. We do not have access to your credit card information. You can make up a missed class on another day when we offer the same age/skill group class. The make-up class should be arranged in advance, no drop-ins. Limit 2 make-up classes per month. Make-up classes are subject to the availability of space in a similar class. We reserve the right not to provide make-up classes or terminate the class enrollment for repeating truancy. We do not provide refunds for ongoing classes tuition, courses or camps payments. However, full credit towards future booking or transfer to another camp/course will be offered for any cancellations made up to 24hrs before the camp or course starts. Ongoing classes can be canceled with a 30 days prior notice. If you paid for the full semester, the remaining amount can be used towards future bookings. Monthly payments will be stopped 30 days after we received your cancellation note.

I took Manga drawing classes with Andrew during the Fall '23 semester. I didn't hesitate when my Dad asked if I wanted to sign up again. Andrew is very talented, he can make awesome drawings in no time. He is a good teacher who sees and corrects my drawings' flaws. Plus he is fun to work with.
