They will help you refine your drawing skills and master the art of engaging visual storytelling, enabling you to create your own worlds or even discover a new career path. The founder of Manga Academy, Anna Tzocheva, tells us more.

How does Manga Academy differ from ordinary drawing courses?

Our courses focus not only on technical drawing skills, but also on storytelling and conveying ideas in a visual way. Another key aspect is the work on projects outside the classroom and the creation of a community among our students, where they exchange ideas, knowledge and inspiration.

The aim of our courses is to develop real knowledge and skills, rather than being just a place to drop by occasionally for leisure. That's why they are structured into two modules of four months each, with the possibility to continue training for up to two years.

Every lesson is carefully prepared to make the material as engaging and useful as possible. We pay close attention not only to what students hear or draw, but also to the teaching methods we use and whether the material has truly been absorbed.

Who is Manga Academy for?

Our courses are designed mainly for children, teenagers and adults who already have a genuine interest in drawing, and may have been sketching on their own at home – whether they are beginners or more advanced. Naturally, they are also for fans of manga and comics, and for anyone who wants to draw fantastic worlds and characters while connecting with like-minded people who share their passion.

Tell us more about the teachers at Manga Academy.

At present, Manga Academy has two active teachers and a third in training. Writers and artists join us as guest lecturers for special events or individual lessons. All of our teachers are practising artists with experience in comics, animation and illustration. An interesting fact is that some of our teachers began as our own students, and have since embarked on their creative journey.

Създавай свои светове с Манга Академия

Ако харесвате манга и комикси, и обичате да рисувате и да разказвате свои истории, вдъхновяващите и практично ориентирани курсове на Манга Академия са за вас. Те ще ви помогнат да овладеете ръката си и изкуството на увлекателния визуален наратив, и ще ви позволят да създавате собствени светове или да откриете нов път за кариерно развитие. Основателката на Манга Академия Анна Цочева разказва повече.

По какво Манга Академия се различава от обичайните курсове по рисуване?

Нашите курсове се фокусират не само върху техническите умения по рисуване, но и върху разказването на истории и предаването на идеи по визуален начин. Важен акцент е и работата по различни проекти извън курса и създаването на общност сред учениците ни, в която те обменят идеи, знание и вдъхновение.

Курсовете ни имат за цел по-скоро да развият реални знания и умения, отколкото да бъдат място, което човек да посещава от време на време, за разтуха. Затова се провеждат в рамките на 2 модула по 4 месеца, с възможност за надграждане на обучението в рамките на 2 години.

Всеки урок е внимателно подготвен, така че материалът да е максимално интересен и полезен. Обръщаме голямо внимание не само на това курсистите да чуят или нарисуват нещо, но и на това какви методи за преподаване използваме и дали материалът е бил усвоен.

 За кого е Манга Академия?

Курсовете ни са най-вече за деца, тинейджъри и възрастни, които вече имат изявен интерес към рисуването и може би са рисували самостоятелно вкъщи, независимо дали са начинаещи или напреднали. Разбира се, и за фенове на манга и комикси и за всеки, който иска да рисува фантастични светове и герои, и търси сродни души, с които да сподели интересите си.

Разкажете повече за преподавателите в Манга Академия?

В момента в Манга Академия преподават активно двама преподавателя и се обучава трети. Писатели и художници ни гостуват като гост лектори за специални събития или отделни уроци. Всички преподаватели са практикуващи художници с опит в сферата на комикса, анимацията и илюстрацията. Интересен факт е, че някои преподаватели са наши курсисти, които вече са поели по своя творчески път.
