My art reflects my personal experiences of social issues.
With personal experiences and visual searching, the images have been trying to influence on the audience. Also using different symbols reflect multiple meanings of my though from a new statement in drawing.
I want to sign up for the course, but I can’t draw.
I downloaded a bunch of faces – all ages, genders and ethnicity, with and without hair. I tried to print them out as close as possible in size to real faces. Then I take one, stick it up on the wall and try to draw it freehand. Then I check by measuring with a stick. When I think I’m done, and when I think I’ve done all I can do, I take the photo off the wall and put it right next to my drawing. Every single time, something or other is off—the mouth, the nose, the shape of the face… I put the download on a sunny window and put my drawing on top to see if they match. The locations of the features are right on target, but the nuances are always off. I have to erase and fix, erase and fix, over and over.
The end result is that the finished drawing resembles the subject matter, but always something is off. I do one a day. It takes me hours. I’m tired and disgusted. Months I’ve been doing this.
Am I ever going to get to the point where I can sit down, draw a face, and get the right results?
In this article, I would like to talk about one of my favorite painters: Guido Reni. There’s something about his painting that caught my attention from the first time I saw them. Reni was born in 1575 in Bologna, Italy. Since he was the son of Danieli Reni, a musician, it was expected of him to follow his father’s steps. However, Guido’s passion and talent to paint took him to another path. He started studying art under the guidance of Denys Calvaert. Soon after, he went to continue his artistic education in the Carracci Academy where there was an emphasis in nature. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of examples of this period of his life.
I am Julia, a young artist from Russia. Art is my biggest passion and joy.
The biggest challenge in art is pursuing the perfection. So, that is why I would love to learn more about how to be more accurate in my technique.
I think that Drawing Academy is a good opportunity to learn more about art and ways of expressing the ideas. Winning is not my aim, Participation and sharing my art and ideas with people is already an award.
People tend to say that a dog is a man’s best friend, but I beg to differ. Don’t get me wrong, I adore dogs, but I love horses. Ever since the man was able to make art, he have depicted horses, just take a look at the prehistoric paintings of Lascaux and Altamira…
I’m a painter from Iran. Art means everything to me and I spend all my life doing art – teaching & painting.
I think that becoming a Drawing Academy member can expand my view of the art world. For improving my career in art and become familiar with traditional art, I would like to win this course.
My name is Tonya Allen, I am a single mother of four.
I would say that art has always took a place in my heart, as a child I wanted to be a fashion designer, then in my teen years I wanted to be model and fashion designer, then as an early adult I wanted to study graphic design.
Things that I want to learn in art is how to make some of my picture look more real and 3D.
I think that Drawing Academy is a great resource that help artist become more develop in their craft.
Ever since I remember, all I truly wanted to do is to draw.
In high school I went to two art workshops, and now I’m a first year student at Art Academy in Cetinje, Montenegro, studying painting. But I’m not really being taught the rules, it’s more based on expressing yourself.
I found out about https://drawingacademy.com on Youtube. I watched some of Academy’s free videos and it was like a goldmine, I got more information in 6 minutes here than I was collecting over 6 months elsewhere.
I find the Drawing Academy system of teaching the most efficient and I think it will teach me more than my art academy.
I think Drawing Academy can help me a lot in fulfilling my goal of becoming a better artist and making my mission come true.
Three month ago, Peter Richard Giles has been awarded the Drawing Academy membership as a winner of the Drawing Academy Survey.
Here’s what Peter says about this drawing course…
I was wondering, do you have any reference photos for the projects, in particular the models, so that I could work along with you?
