This course changed the way I think and draw

Story and artworks from Harumi Kiyota, Drawing Academy graduate

Before the Drawing Academy course, I was drawing and painting what I SEE. The reason why I took this drawing course is because I wanted to learn how to draw what I KNOW.

For example, buildings in this pre-course painting (Santorini Greece) have different angles and look unbalanced. So, I decided to learn fundamental principles of drawing to improve my skills.

Now I understand well 1-point, 2-point and 3-point perspective. I can better judge angles and distances, which is important.

I also learnt more about human anatomy and what lies beneath the skin. This knowledge helps me to draw with the knowledge and confidence.

I really appreciate the step-by-step teaching Drawing Academy lessons provide.

Drawing skills really help me to paint. I use what I learned in the drawing course to make under-drawings for paintings.

The biggest difference since I took the course is that I start loving to draw. I didn’t know that there are so many drawing techniques and the way various materials show different texture. Drawing is deep and very interesting to learn.

The Drawing Academy’s curriculum is great; it is easy to learn here with my own schedule. So I would like to recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn drawing.

Drawing is the foundation of all arts. I wish I could find Drawing Academy years ago. I can access all course video lessons at anytime, and I keep coming back to refresh my memory and repeat exercises.

Thank you very much,
Harumi Kiyota
