Story and artwork from Filipe Wanderson
Hello, all in peace? I’m Filipe Wanderson, an unknown Brazilian artist. I found this drawing course videos through a YouTube and right away I said “this is what I want to work!”. At the time I was only able to draw flat characters and very close to the stick figure style. It’s funny because I graduated and started to build a career in the field of technology and I left that field to try to work with art even without any apparent talent. I tried to improve myself, but even after 2 and a half years of hard study I couldn’t even get a job in the area, I don’t know, even if it’s a commission of 1 BRL (which is very low money here in my country). Anyway, when I saw your course after so long since I saw that video on YouTube I had hope again in being able to work with art. Since I made the decision to leave my old job, things have been tough financially. Yet I persisted in my studies all this time.
The Drawing Academy course answers all the questions I’ve always had on my artistic journey. That’s why I would like to be able to try to apply for the scholarship they offer from the course.
