Manga Master Class: Kodomo

Kodomo is a Japanese word that means 'kid'. However, in Japan it is also used to refer to any tale or illustration made for children, between six and twelve years of age.

Thus, 'kodomo manga' literally means 'comic or tale for kids'. Some of the best known kodomo are Doraemon, Tama-gotchi, Digimon, Hamtaro, Hello Kitty, Panda-Z or Pokémon. In this edition, we present a step-by-step manual, where you can learn how to make different Kodomo-style characters, with detailed explanations.

The popularity of these stylised characters is widespread around the world, and illustrators are reaching for their pens and markers to learn the Japanese comic style.
