Group experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Welcome to “The STASH” - Manga Lab’s “official” treasure trove of our extensive, astoundingly informative drawing notes (“Class scribbles” I call them)! What we do: Each week, I will “unload” my latest manga art related “class scribbles” to this group, so that all my students, from past and present, can access for their own manga art or story development. Members are also welcome to share any artwork in progress, and receive constructive feedback from Mr. Dan and fellow Otakus! My Challenge For You: Develop Your Story - as in our weekly Manga Lab, I strongly encourage you, every week, to make an small progress on developing your manga story. It can be a sketch, a piece writings, theme music in progress, 3D model, costume design which contributes to your story development. Contribute - encourage someone, welcome any new comers, provide constructive critiques. Even just giving a virtual air-hug to someone will mean the world us as a whole! Get Involved - collaborate on new ideas, share helpful manga resources, team-up or make yourself available to work with fellow young mangakas! Subjects covered: Our posts, tutorials, or uploads may cover many disciplines, including but not limited to: Digital painting techniques, value studies, color theory, Procreate & Photoshop hacks, manga head & facial proportions, hairstyles, eye styles, costume design, professional drawing, inking, and coloring techniques using pencils, ink pens, markers, art material referrals, marketing insights, creative business mindset, leadership, manga “scene”, future trends……and anything that helps develop a compelling manga story!

Guidelines
Welcome to our Group! We want all of our learners to feel comfortable, connected, and safe. That's why we have 3 rules we ask you to follow: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful.
Be Kind - Help all learners feel welcome and included.
Learners from all over the world, with different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, religions and body types, participate in our Group. Always be nice and make others, especially new learners, know that they belong and are welcome. Teasing, name calling, or bullying anybody in our community? Nope. Not happening here
Be Safe - Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs.
Personal things are personal. We want to keep you safe on Outschool, but we also want YOU to understand how to be safe when you're meeting other learners or teachers. Keep your full name, home address, gaming or social media name, email, and school name private.
Be Respectful - Treat others how you want to be treated.
Keep language clean and information you share safe. If you wouldn't say it or share with your grandma, don't do it here. Swear words, racy videos, and violent images are not allowed. Treat Outschool like a public place, and when in doubt, keep things covered.
