[Pre-180, My SJI Days] Manga Drawing and Onigiri Making with SJI Japanese Club (JCC) Friends
In year 2015, all of us JCC members wanted to do something special during our weekly JCC sessions. (For fun and also to better promote our club during our open house as seen from our promotional board and giveaway Onigiri snack.)
As such, we have decided to do two things--to draw a manga for JCC and to also make onigiri together as much as we can. Our JCC leader Hans, started teaching us how to draw manga while our fellow JCC mate Bei Bei taught us how to make delicious onigiri using ingredients such as Ume (sour plums), nori (seaweed), and seafood seasoning.
Making the onigiri was easy, and all of us had a really good time making it for ourselves and our schoolmates who happened to pass by.
It was the drawing of the manga that was difficult. To draw a manga, one will first need to draw up a storyboard, sketch the characters, draw out each of the scenes and ink each of the scenes. There were times when my drawings were not up to the cut, and there were also times when I inked some of the scenes that were not ready to be inked! I had to be precise, accurate and alert whenever I work on the manga, which posed as a challenge to me.
Nonetheless, I was able to complete quite a bit of the manga, which turned out to be quite good. :) Considering that I drew manga and made tonnes of onigiri to eat, I definitely had a great time learning about Japanese Culture in JCC! :)
