Welcome to… NO.1 FOR DIGITAL ARTIST Imagine FX

Manga is one of the world’s most easily recognisable art styles, so this issue we set out to celebrate it and help you master your own mangainspired creations.

We cover a wide range this month, including a look at some western manga created by the wonderfully talented Linnea Kataja and B.c.n.y., who share their art and passion starting on page 34. Then over on page 46, we delve into the wonderful art of Belle, the animated movie by Mamoru Hosoda.

As always, we want to help you level up your own skill set and this issue is no different. We have training covering a range of topics, from drawing manga-style fight scenes on page 66, to using 3D tools to create a striking anime scene on page 72.

For the more traditional of you we have a fantastic workshop on painting dynamic characters full of motion and energy on page 90.

We also test and review the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, to find out whether it’s up to the task of creating digital art.
