Kenny Ruiz

Ever thought about creating your own manga comic? If the answer is yes, manga illustrator and author Kenny Ruiz is the perfect person to help you achieve that distinctly expressive and professional touch so characteristic of the genre. His seemingly endless list of projects includes El Cazador de Rayos and Barcelona with Paquet publishers, and the series Dos Espadas and Malefic Time: Soum, with Norma Comics.

In this course, Kenny teaches you to narrate any story you like and turn it into a piece with the energetic and intense rhythm of manga. Develop the first chapter of your comic and give it the power that Japanese publishers require to reel in the reader and have them hooked from the first page. Fill two entire pages with professional manga comic art using Clip Studio Paint.
