October Kraft+ Challenge - Manga

 Good morning Krafters!

 How gorgeous was last month’s INSPIRED BY LAURA HORN Challenge! Laura has such a beautiful style and we love how you all embraced it...the Facebook K+ Community Group is looking absolutely gorgeous, thank you to all who joined in.

 

 October challenge.

 

 This month it’s all about MANGA. Now before you ask, MANGA are comics or graphic novels originating from Japan. It’s not a challenge without being a challenge ;)

As always, this month’s mood board is created by Amanda Hall.

 

 

The Kraft Plus Design Team

For this months challenge I was inspired by the theme of Japan.. My Daughter had a trip to Japan in her last year of school and really enjoyed the culture and food and so this layout is capturing the memory of that trip.

What can I say?! Again, I found this months challenge got me thinking again. The eyes and facial expressions of the Manga designs was a standout feature for me. I attempted to draw the eyes by doing a step by step process on vellum paper then colouring it in with white paint pen,grey lead and black sharpie pen. I think it turned out ok for my first attempt. Overall as always, I had fun creating this. Thank you for looking and we look forward to seeing your take on this months challenge. Amy

 

 

This was a really interesting challenge for me because both my kids love manga! I decided to scrap about some of Courtney's amazing manga drawings. For a fun twist, I embellished the page with ArtStacks flowers and butterflies that Courtney drew as well.
I hope you'll join us this month

Hi everyone, well isn't this an interesting challenge. I really found this a challenge, to start with I had no idea what Manga was, so that is what my layout is about. How I have researched what Manga is and I have added a description of Manga. I then had no idea how to decorate the layout, so I grabbed some rub ons, and just started adding them. Do I love this? Not really, but I guess we need to try things that challenge us as well.
I hope you enjoy the challenge.

 

 

I was totally flummoxed with what to do for this month’s challenge until Lizzy Crust suggested to take the idea of Asia from it- so I have! I love that our inspiration boards are there for jumping off ideas!

I had to research this topic and learnt manga are Japanese comics which are normally printed in black and white. So I printed my photos in black and white and arranged them in a sequential panel design similar to a mini-comic.
