“I’d really like to improve my overall skill level – particularly in the areas of portrait drawing. I’ve always loved working with color, so I usually skip to the painting stage as quickly as I can. I have really struggled to build my drawing skills, which I feel is holding me back from improving to levels I’d like to achieve.
What are the best techniques to practice and improve overall drawing skills?”
Being only sixteen is a true challenge for most teenage artist, as it is for me sometimes too. I started drawing when I was only seven, I was young of course but the passion for art lived within me since then. I had stopped drawing for a long time until last summer.
Art for me is one of the most important parts of my daily routine and life. Realism though is a style I am taking an interest in recently therefore it appears a little more challenging for now.
In art I would like to learn more about Impressionism and Realism, especially all about Reinassance art and the Old Masters, that’s the reason I was interested in the Drawing Academy in first place.
Hello I am soon to be 52. I care for my 90 year old mother and school my seven year old daughter both at home. I had her at age 43. I always say be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. Now I have learn to be specific when I ask.
I have always love to doodle. Now I use it to clear my head and focus in on the big picture. I love creating my own designs and seeing them come to life on paper.
“Most times when I get the inspiration to draw, I usually procrastinate out of fear of the blank white paper before me. How do I overcome this artist block every time I’m faced with it?”
No matter where you are, if you have never read one of his plays, you surely have heard about William Shakespeare. I can’t even remember from whom or where did I hear the story of Romeo and Juliet, I just knew it one day. That is how mainstream Shakespeare’s stories have become. It is the greatest writer of English history, and they surely are proud of him. That is why it is not a surprise that it has served as an inspiration for many painters of the time and later.
Hello!
My name is Tetiana and I am from Kharkiv, Ukraine.
I don’t have academic drawing education and actually I don’t have any art education at all, but I like drawing and painting very much escpecially watercolor paintings and sketches. I want to learn how to do this professionally.
I think that Drawing Academy is a great opportunity for me, because I don’t have time and possibility to attend drawing courses. So the online education is the best variant for me. And I think that Drawing Academy is a very good user friendly educational online resource with professional tutors.
I have a BS degree in music Education and bass trombone performance from Jacksonville State University and studied Art at the University of Alabama where I was awarded a full tuition scholarship my first semester I had solo shows in the Gadsden Museum of Fine At and The Tuscaloosa Council of Fine Art gallery. I am a recovering stroke victim. I had a massive stroke that took away my entire left side I was a professional bass trombone player which ended.
I was also doing art as much as I could but as a result of my stroke I lost the ability to think on a higher level therefore I was at a loss about how to start. My son and wife kept trying to get me to paint and one day I started and a whole new world came back to me, I suddenly remembered color theory and even the names of the brushes.
I am a 16 year old girl, who has a great interest in art. I am a first girl of my village who is allowed to study in school.
I am interested in many artistic works such as writing, drawing, painting, sketching and poetry.
This year, I am going to publish my poetry books. I want to learn about art, specially about abstract art and painting.
Hi,
The wife and I are retired and We both paint. We have a small studio just out of Dushore, PA.
I feel that every piece of art is a challenge weather it is a wildlife, still life, portrait, or even a landscape.
I would like have the support and advice to gain the confidence in myself and in the art I do.
From what I see the Drawing Academy might be the source for me.
