Draw a manga-style warrior with step-by-step instructions by graphic artist Orion Zangara.

In this drawing workshop, Orion will teach step-by-step instructions for drawing a manga-style warrior. Orion uses Google Slides to show participants each step of the process—starting with basic shapes and then building into a full figure. Just like constructing a house using blueprints as a foundation, a drawing needs planning, which Orion will demonstrate in the program.

All supplies will be provided.

Adults and teens are welcome.

Registration is required.
