Recent reviews of Manga Art Class for Beginners
- 5/5 from Liz Oconnell, attended Sep 2026: Loved the class, again, thank you
- 5/5 from Trevor Stone, attended May 2026: Hi, I found the teacher very warm and welcoming. I was happy with the instruction. Very pleased to have my own work of manga art to leave with. Will definitely do more classes.
- 5/5 from Meagan Darling-Filby, attended Feb 2026: Thank you for hosting this class. This was gifted to me as a Christmas present. It was a small group which was great because I was able to get some 1:1 time with the teacher, not just generalised group learning. I felt this class is aimed towards a younger and less experienced crowd. And although I would like to attend a more advanced class, there were still skills and techniques that I learned that I have never applied to my drawing previously. That's the beauty of joining others to enjoy the practice of drawing and creating art - it's exploratory and there is always a different perspective and technique to learn from. I enjoyed practicing blending techniques and using different colour combinations. Thank you.
- 5/5 from Kimmy Olney, attended Feb 2026: The teacher was lovely and had many great drawing tips for my daughter. My daughter thoroughly loved the class.
- 5/5 from Ivy Matsios, attended Feb 2026: My daughter absolutely loved this, highly recommended, would love for it to be a weekly class
- 5/5 from Cath Stent, attended Jan 2026: My daughter's first class with ClassBento and she's keen to do more!
- 4/5 from Archie Robinson, attended Jan 2026: My teacher was good and it was easy to understand
- 5/5 from Ms Debra A Thomas, attended May 2025: I really enjoy Scribble Cat's classes. I've done portraits and this one now. The instructor is very knowledgeable and helpful and makes sure everyone gets personalised attention. In this Manga class we worked on body proportions, breaking down the body into geometric shapes before giving them personalised characteristics, and were shown how to use and blend the markers. The classes are apparently all different so you can do multiple courses and people come back. I'll be doing more. 10/10 recommend.
