Going Dotty
This is an example of a wheel I did a while ago showing what can be done with pen and ink using just dots and solid tone. Although this is drawing is quite static and looks more like an illustration than fine art, it still shows the versatility of the pen…

Here’s what Mohamad Magdy says:
“First, I want to thank Drawing Academy teachers for this wonderful course; it is very helpful.
I work as an art director in Dubai. My formal education is in ancient art and civilizations, so to compliment it, I needed to study how to draw casts, it was very important for me.
After enrolling in the Drawing Academy course, I found all the help needed. Drawing video lessons are very good; I’ve learned how to draw and express exactly what I want.
I like that the Drawing Academy teaches how to draw using traditional drawing techniques. I have learned what style the Old Master used, necessary information on drawing materials, principles of constructive drawing, proper tonal rendering techniques, rules of proportions and measurements and so on.
I do recommend the Drawing Academy course to all art students and of all levels. This course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students.
Also, in the Drawing Academy, you will find all the help and assistance from the academy tutors…
Painting by Gilberto Mello, Drawing Academy student
The Colors of Murano – Italy
This painting was inspired from the extraordinary contrasting colors we find the Italian landscape, in this case in the narrow canals of Murano, located just across the lagoon from Venice.
I worked my way first with a solid drawing of the scene, obeying linear perspective (one or two points) and I didn’t start laying paint until I was satisfied with the base drawing.
My focal point is the blue cargo boat in the foreground, but the buildings in the background with the strong color variations and even broken stucco are hard to ignore…
Painting and story by Rowena Tam, Drawing Academy student
Portrait
Art is my natural healing therapy for which I am so grateful.
Six years ago, I suffered from severe depression when my dear husband suddenly passed away. Without art, I would not be here to tell you my story.
Through the courses of Drawing Academy, Anatomy Master Class and Web Art Academy video lessons, I have become familiar with all the unknown to me before forms of art. Before, I was unaware of their existence and did not know how to present it. Through practice, I gradually built up my confidence and present it with exquisite precision and forms.
I am so pleased with my mentors: Natalie Richy and Vladimir London. With their inspiring efforts, I have found my whole new horizon in the world of art…

Artworks and story from Lis Engel
A am a painter
I was always attracted to drawing and painting but did not get the possibility of getting a formal art education. But it did not stop my interest.
My first art experience was my admiration for The Danish drawer Christel and when I was a child I started copying her drawings from journals. At 12 years of age an art dealer, a friend of my family introduced me to Oil painting and I loved The color and started painting landscapes from Bornholm. Here I met The Danish painter Oluf Høst who became a great inspiration for me.
My interest in all kinds of art forms were very open, I was very attracted by music and modern compositional music and contemporary dance and performance art…
