Cartooning & Anime Classes

My 9 yo son (and even younger sister) is obsessed with drawing graphic stories. They’ll spend HOURS reading graphic novels and drawing their ideas. Does anyone have feedback or experience with comics classes in the Albany/Berkeley area, or with the teacher who runs the art studio https://www.ohyesveryniceonlinestudios.com/? Does anyone have kids who might be interested in joining this teacher’s Comics Group? If you read about it on his website it looks like he offers classes based on request. Thank you.

My 11 year old son really wants to learn how to draw anime - freehand and digitally. He's been learning on his own by watching Youtube videos, but I would like to find a class for him. At this point, he's not interested in drawing other things (nature, still-life, etc.), though I hope his interests in drawing anime will lead to other subject material and other types of art. I see in an older post that I might be able to find a tutor from CCA, but I'm hoping for a small class with other kids. If there are other parents with similarly-aged kids who would like to form a small anime drawing class and find a teacher, I would be open to that too. Thanks!

Hi - My preteen daughter has an artistic bent and is interested in learning anime style graphic drawing.  We are looking for a class or individual instruction in the Berkeley/Albany/Kensington/El Cerrito area.  She commutes to Oakland for school, so we may be able to manage an after school class in Oakland also.  Thanks for any help or suggestions.
