Free manga - Moon&Blood 3 Kindle edition (JP)

I've just released Moon and Blood vol.4 Japanese edition, so I've started the free campaign of Moon and Blood vol.3 as usual. It can be read with Kindle, Kindle fire, Kindle for iPhone/iPad, Kindle for Android. 

The free campaign is from today (16th  0:00) - 20th 23:59 Aug., Pacific Standard Time

It for everyone;

 If you've read Moon and Blood English version(e-book) already, you'll find more fine and crispy images in this edition. (The resolution is about 1280X900)

 If you'd not try the series yet, you can look the manga. Then if you were interested in this series, - buy and read English edition.  :)

If you read Japanese - you enjoy reading this free manga, and more - It has some omake(extra), the first drafts of the main characters' profile (the one I showed my editor) in this time. I think it would be interesting reading, especially if you write/draw manga.

These links are to Amazon.com, but you can find the series on other Amazon site, too. Search by ASIN: B00DR0KD48 or "Moon and Blood Nao Yazawa".

Here is Vol.4 Japanese edition, it has just released. 100 yen.

The cover design was done by my friend Mana, as usual. Thank you for the beautiful design! ^^

In this volume, I added the plot ideas I showed to DMP's editor as Omake(extra). There are 3 pattern plots of entire series and 2 suggestions of the ending. None of them fit in the actual  Moon and Blood story, but you can find some elements fro,m them. If you've created any stories, it would be interesting to read. And ut also has funny 4koma for Dojinshi edition. ;)

Manga Class Matome

The class was over on Aug. 10th. It was so hard classes, because of the HEAT. ^^;
The main class room has no A/C... the last class was very hot day, so I insisted we move to the room with A/C. If you are thinking to come, don't be fear, you can get cool room if the temperature was really dangerous.

Anyway - C-chan has done 2 open spread pages/black and white and one watercolor painting.

In this time, we concentrated on traditional drawing/painting because we had only 12 days. Although she uses Manga Studio and Sai, she wanted to learn traditional manga skill more than digital work. I think it's right choice. I can teach something about Manga Studio, but it's not as much as traditional manga drawing skill.

There are some video clips I took during the class.

New videos are not yet.

I'm taking the video clips of these lessons. Problem is, the files are large, and take a long time for uploading to Youtube. Once the clips were uploaded, I have to edit it - not so much, just making it short, around 20 min. And it takes a long time again! I have no skill of video editing (and shooting), so there is very few things I do, though.

I've just uploaded all the videos I took yesterday. (only 4) I have 4 clips from today's lesson. Now, I'd better to go to bed for tomorrow's class...it takes me 1.5 hour to work. Although it's not uncommon in Japan, all students are surprised with the fact.;D


W (White) done. Tone work, tomorrow!

I gave her a lot of homework today, because this short course comes to an end at this weekend - good luck C-chan!

Day 5 of the Manga Class

I took a video via iPhone today. Basically they are useless, boring stuff because the angle of the camera was not good (it was taped on a note PC on the desk)

Still, I'm going to upload some of them to my Youtube channel for showing the idea how the class was like. (It's sooooo embarrassing, but I must do. XD) 

Today, we did the pencil drawing of the center frame and the spiky balloon (Uni-flash)

She did very well for the first time! She's practiced dip-pen drawing a lot, so she is not a beginner in a way, though.

Practices

I wonder if you recognize the part I did as an example.

Tried, but it failed.
