Mangaka Stationery

Want inspo first?

Or dive into the boxes now?

This set of 3 markers are specifically made for drawing Manga. They are balanced in range of thickness and hand feel, not to mention the grip. But the real impressive part is the ink itself.

It’s resistant to water, alcohol, it is smudge proof and handles eraser friction like a champ, so no need to worry when erasing pencil sketches after inking your design.

The tool to use when coloring in large sketches. The double sided nature of this mildliner allows for exceptional control over your details. The brush tip gives you a lot of options for strokes and shading.

The fine tip is between 5-7mm. The ink is soft and easy on paper despite being water based.

Still learning how to do calligraphy? Perhaps you’d like an example to work with before you dive into the art yourself? These stickers can be used both in planners and journals, even as details in a comic strip if you’d like.

There are various types of calligraphy, and the tone matches the brush also included in the box.

Ever wonder how manga artists manage to avoid coloring in all the white parts? Well, the truth is, they don’t! Using a white pen like this one, you can create negative space in your art, work with lighting, reflections and other accents.

The pen glides smoothly, but best of all; it’s able to handle all sorts of surfaces, like photo paper, fabric, plastic and of course, paper

What if life but not a series of pictures and words. In a way, we live in a manga already. You can illustrate this with the “Words Make Me” notebook. Fill in 100 pages of thick high quality paper allowing for your juiciest markers to shine. 

It’s compact so you can log your words or sketches as soon as inspiration strikes! 

The cover can be removed, and it comes in 3 different colors; off-white, pale pink or deep green.

This calm and ethereal paper from Midori is more than just a notepad, it’s sticky notes that are also translucent. The paper has many unique properties an here’s our advice:

Use it to trace art you’d like to practice with a pencil. Rub the design onto where you'd like it to appear in your sketchbook.

Use the mangaka markers to touch up the lines and complete your copied drawing! A wonderful way to practice.
