Artwork by Sophie H.

With 0 Comments

Hi, my name’s Sophie and I’m 15 years old.

I’ve never had art lessons and am completely self taught. Art takes up quite a big part of my life. I currently do GCSE art in school and get a tonne of coursework so I don’t have much time to draw freely. Although when I do have time to draw I like to enter competitions, doodle in my sketchbook and stalk artists on instagram:).

One of the biggest challenges I face in art is originality. I constantly have to be looking up references online to get a drawing done and I have never made an original piece (all of my work has used photo references).

I would love to try surrealism but as of now I know that would never work as I’d be looking for references for days before I find something suitable.

I would love to learn to draw figures. I would also love to learn to oil paint, the amount of detail you can achieve in oils has always fascinated me.

I think Drawing Academy is a great course to help beginners and skilled artists alike in improving their skills.

I want to win the Drawing Academy course as it would help me with my inability to draw without a photo reference. People should vote for me because I can achieve much more in the future and this course would help.
Thanks for reading.
