Alchemy, music and art

I’m Brazilian, 25 years old, got a psychology bachelors degree, in love with old movies, occult books, jazz music and art in general.

For the last couple of years I’ve been trying to develop a routine of drawing study that could lead me to do it professionally, and although I’ve been successful at developing some of my skills I having trouble to find a job to put them at work.

I’m really happy when I’m creating and really sad when I’m not, that’s the best way I can define the place art takes in my life. My major challenge it’s to do it full time and make a living out of it. I would like to develop even more my basic drawing, composition ideas and anatomy notions.

Drawing Academy is always sending me e-mails with incredible art articles and making me more knowledgeable about a lot of stuff related to this field; for instance I’ve discovered an artist I now admire a lot, Nikolai Blokhin, and came across subjects otherwise hard to reach like “Manuscript Illuminations”. So I think that’s a compelling place to be part of if one wants to develop a cultural mindset to produce relevant art, along with the practical skills to do it.

I want to win this course specially to burst my motivation, to help me improve my skills so I have better chances to do something that makes me happy, and to put me in touch with people with greater experience than mine, but with the same love for art.
