Like other drawing enthusiasts heavily influenced by Japanese manga, I have been dreaming of becoming a manga artist for years. With all the love and hate stories, the only tools I’d ever had were pencils. As a school kid, I doodled on textbooks and exam papers, designed figures with personalities, costumed my characters, and armed them. I spent most of my middle school time creating women’s faces and immersed myself in the story of my own weaving. I didn’t color faces, nor did I draw bodies often. I had no color medium and knew nothing about body movements. I stopped drawing after high school and gave up my dream.
