Day 2 of INK & PANELS Vol. 2: A Creative Workshop for Getting Into Manga, Comics, and Animation

INK & PANELS is BACK for Year 2! This year we’ve added animation into the fold, increased our number of panelists, and engineered a new way for you to enjoy this event no matter what your experience level is. We’ve also expanded the event to 2 days so you can get more panels, more demonstrations, and more knowledge on how to get into the creative industry. INK & PANELS is an online webinar bringing some of your favorite artists, writers, animators, indie publishers, and more together to help YOU get into the manga/comics/animation business. Panels will include: increasing your proficiency in art, improving your writing, the keys to running a successful crowdfunding campaign, working in the animation industry, and more! This event will be streamed to the general public and select high school and universities. If you want your institution to be added to the list feel free to reach out!
