Drawing Academy is an amazing institution of art. With that goes my reason for wanting to win the course. I want to advance further in art guided by professionals since I never had a chance to attend an art school.
I have a different perspective on life. I am inclined to the artistic passions deeply and I create the art in fields of writing, poetry, painting and music. As being an avid follower of art, I try to show my emotions with help of my art. Also, I experiment with various kinds of mediums (specifically in drawing and painting), for example, shading, painting in acrylics and watercolour). I won’t say that I am an artist because still I am in the learning phase and trying out my creativity.
My name is Mišo.
I completed the Drawing Academy course as well as the Watercolor Academy. It makes sense to enroll in the Drawing Academy first, which would give a solid professional foundation.
My name is Natalia Samarina, a Fine Art Artist based in West Sussex, UK. Art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I found joy in drawing, sewing, cooking, and inventing new things. Creativity has always been the language through which I understood the world.
The Drawing Academy felt like an oasis for me. A breath of fresh air. It’s like what I have been looking for, for so long, but wouldn’t find. I watched some of the free classes and noticed immediate improvement with my portrait sketching. And I’m sure I’ll dive deeper. Especially I have loved how you insist one must know to draw from imagination: and that’s exactly what I feel inclined to do.

My name is Amanda Nicole Cordaro, and art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I started drawing and painting as a child, often while home sick, and it became a lifeline—a way to connect with the world even when my body couldn’t keep up with it. Now, as a permanently disabled artist, creating art continues to be both my expression and my freedom.
My name is Nikol Řeháková and I move between law, visual art and music. Drawing is at the center of my artistic process. I see it as the foundation of everything in art – the place where observation, structure and sensitivity meet. I would like to strengthen this foundation even more.
I am a retired Scientist who over the last decade have enjoyed drawing and painting as a passion.
Over the past few days, I have been following the courses on portrait drawing at the Drawing Academy. As a result, today I am submitting a few works focusing on perspective, facial features, and portraits.
