\u25a0Background of Class Wing’s Launch<\/h4>\n

In recent years, the global market for “webtoons”\u2014vertically scrolling comics optimized for smartphones\u2014has been rapidly expanding. Guided by our vision of “turning anyone in the world into a creator,” MediBang, which operates “MediBang Paint”, with over 100 million downloads worldwide, has long sought to provide a new platform for Japanese creators to unlock their high potential on a global scale.<\/p>\n

To solve the challenge of limited opportunities in Japan for learning webtoon-specific creation, their editing techniques, and for breaking into the global market, we’ve partnered with Stella&, a global content tech company from the home of webtoons, Korea. Class Wing was founded as a place to give Japanese creators the “wings” to soar globally by systematically learning top-level skills from Korean instructors.<\/p>\n

Three Features of the Webtoon Artist Training Project, “Class Wing”<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Instructors from the Home of Webtoons, Korea<\/strong>
\nThe instructors at Class Wing are current professors teaching at leading universities in Korea, the forefront of webtoon education. Students can systematically learn world-class skills, from basics to advanced practices, directly from the source. This includes character design, story structure, and vertical scroll techniques that captivate readers.<\/p>\n

2. From “Understanding” to “Drawing”<\/strong>
\nThe program is practice-oriented to transform “understanding” into “drawing.” By repeatedly creating assignments with professional feedback, students will solidify their knowledge into a tangible skill. Our goal is to help artists grow from “just drawing” to effectively conveying what they want to the reader.<\/p>\n

3. Powerful Support from MediBang x Toonyz<\/strong>
\nBy combining MediBang Paint’s creator base (100 million+ downloads) with Toonyz’s authentic production expertise, we provide powerful support for our students’ creative activities. Creators who pass the selection process within this project will receive support from a dedicated producer to work toward their debut as a global webtoon artist.<\/p>\n
