Manga or known as novel comic, narrates stories through graphics. Manga is inspired by true stories and sometimes presented with some transformation, exaggerations, personification, symbolism or reflection. Manga can spark a range of emotions amongst its readers – from feeling entertained to enlightened.

Over in the recent years, career options like professional illustrators, manga cartoonist, ad designers and animators are on the rise with the rising popularity of digital painting. Certainly, digital painting knowledge gives you a headstart to a career in the creative industry. But digital painting requires traditional painting skills as digital painting artworks are not remade and they are produced through the paper and pen within the digital painting software. Digital painting provides the flexibility for any corrections required by the artist with minimal effort.
With solid foundation of line, colouration, tonal, perspectives and imagination in traditional drawing, this would help to produce digital painting artworks in a more realistic form. Hence, to create a good digital artwork, having a basic grasp of traditional artwork is just as important.
