Manga Madness

    Creating oil paintings haven't been in my reality for a few years now.  Studio renovations are still in the works, so my only option has been creating with less toxic materials.  Watercolors, acrylics, pencil and markers have been a life saver.  Granted I am not painting exactly what I want too, but none the less art is getting produced on the dining room table! 

    Mainly I have been focused on the illustrations for my children's story book.  I didn't realize how long this would take, but it is real easy to draw and watercolor an illustration only to show it to my husband and he comes up with a better idea.........so I start over.   This little book has been dear to my heart so I want it to be perfect.

  Eventually I will share the illustrations but for now I am guarding them.......but I will share another project............Manga Madness.   

  Personally, you all should know that I am not an illustrator.   I like more loose organic lines, yet I find myself working on this Manga program for work.  In order for me to help other people create a manga, I thought it was important for me to create a character and story line.......that way I can walk other people through the steps.

    So here goes nothing, Let me introduce you to:  "Meesha the Ninga Librarian".   Yes, that is a book for a hair do!  I have learned that Manga characters have unusual hair dos and their eyes are pretty large.  The characters tend to be show lots of emotions in their drawings.  Any who......the story line here is simple.  Meesha lives in a big city where crime is rampant........yet she is able to protect herself by the throwing the book she carries.  It comes back to her like a boom-a-rang.   I wanted to keep the story short and sweet although you will meet other characters...............not quite sure how I will develop them.   Check Meesha out.

As I update the story, I will totally share this manga with you all.
