Rosalyn "Rosy" Scally is an artist and illustrator who specializes in drawing using various mediums including pencil, charcoal, ink and pastels. She also paints with watercolors and acrylics, and enjoys combining her artistic and creative writing talents to create comic books. In 2009 she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from the University of South Florida. For the past 6 years, Rosy has taught art to local youth in Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg through Family Resources Youth Enrichment Program (formerly Youth Arts Corps).Classes she has taught at LOL Families include the art component of Comic Book Class, Drawing Amazing Animals, and Drawing Mythological Creatures I and II. She believes the arts are indispensable as an outlet for creative expression, as well as a way to develop mental flexibility and critical thinking skills that help kids excel in other areas of study.

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.
