Do you love manga, anime, character design and visual storytelling? Art Academica is looking for a practising

manga/anime illustrator or artist

to inspire children and teens through drawing, character creation and storytelling. We are not looking for someone to simply supervise activities. We want an artist who can help students understand

how characters are built, how expressions work, how proportions change, how movement is shown, and how stories come alive visually . ABOUT THE ROLE

You will teach small groups of children and teenagers in our Manga classes, helping students develop real drawing and illustration skills while keeping the classes energetic, imaginative and fun. You’ll work with areas such as: manga and anime character design

facial expressions and emotions

body proportions

clothing and costume design

Bonus points if manga/anime culture is already part of your world — whether that’s: cosplay, character-inspired makeup, fashion, conventions, accessories or simply a deep love of the genre. We love teachers who bring their personality into the studio. You absolutely do not need to dress up to teach — but if you enjoy it, we will probably love it too. TEACHING EXPERIENCE?

Teaching experience is wonderful, but it is not essential. If you are a strong artist with excellent communication skills, the right personality and genuine enthusiasm for working with young people, we can train you in the Art Academica teaching approach. What matters most is that you can
