(Cleveland, OH)  Manga Art continues to grow in popularity.  You can learn how to do Manga with Faber-Castell’s new Getting Started:  Complete Manga Drawing Kit.  This kit includes everything you need to start creating your own amazing characters and adventures.  The fully illustrated 28-page Manga instruction booklet takes you step-by-step through the drawing process, and there’s a nifty Manga manikin with a special shaped head to help you create action drawings.

The kit contains 3 PITT Artist Pens selected with the Manga artist in mind.  There’s a pen with black ink and a superfine nib for details, one with black ink and a brush nib for bold, opaque lines, and one with grey ink and a brush nib for shadows and highlights.  These PITT Artist Pens contain India ink that is permanent, lightfast, smudgeproof, and archival.  Add a graphite pencil, eraser, sharpener, stencil with Manga shapes, and a sketch pad and you’re on your way to becoming a Manga artist.

The Getting Started:  Complete Manga Drawing Kit has a suggested retail price of $29.95.

Available in May, this kit has already received acclaim from the craft industry with a 1^st Place Innovations Award from the Craft & Hobby Association.
