How to Draw Manga and Anime Characters

Cora was enrolled in this class taught by Rosalyn "Rosy" Scally. How to Draw Manga and Anime Characters is a studio drawing class where students will draw in the style of Japanese comics and animation. Manga and Anime are renowned for its stylized art, dynamic action, and storylines that hook the reader in. Series such as Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Naruto has become very popular internationally, and have influenced modern video games, film, and cartoons. In this class, students will draw their own original characters and learn from step-by-step drawing demonstrations given. Each week they will focus on drawing a different part of character anatomies such as eyes, hands, hair, and clothing. After basics are down, they will learn how to convey facial expressions and the body language of posing their characters. Along the way, I will be teaching the history of manga and anime and how it relates to Japanese culture. Students are also going to be given a poll the first day of class to see what their favorite manga or anime characters are and I will go over the characters chosen as time allows. The $20 materials fee includes a sketchbook, mechanical pencils, a pen set for inking, and an eraser. At the end of the semester, everyone in the class will submit at least one finished drawing to be displayed on our table at Showcase. This class is a great way to develop hand-eye coordination and discipline. It also encourages children to read, explore and understand aspects of a different culture, and use art as a healthy outlet for creative self-expression.
