VIDEO – Drawing Academy Review by Mia Vujović

Story by by Mia Vujović

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.

Question from Kate, Drawing Academy student

I was wondering, do you have any reference photos for the projects, in particular the models, so that I could work along with you?

I’m Samin Mousavi.

I was brought up in one of the nice countries called Iran/Tehran , I’m 27 years old and I studied Masters of comparative literature at a top university in Tehran. As far back as I recall I have always dreamed of being a great and famous artist specially in painting so I stared learning from young age.

My princess

Before starting this wonderful course with the Drawing Academy, I was just a beginner and having lots of lessons and instructions from my art teacher, Ronnie Rayner Larter, who won the Drawing Academy Art Competition two years ago.

Ronnie advised me to enter the same competition. I was determined to win because knowing how to draw well is an ambition, an ambition to have the skills to draw anything, which will help me to enrol on a Fashion Degree course I am now applying for…

Artworks by Angelina, Drawing Academy student

Hello, this is Angelina.

Can you help me with my drawings? I’ve made two drawings from life, including a statue from the art museum. I am having difficulties with grouping the shadows and shading the fabric. Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

Is it passable to use photos for reference?

Question from Rayne Sheffer

“How do you learn to stop looking to or copying photos for reference, especially when you are trying to draw something that you cannot see in real life that much, like a wild animal? Do you still use photos and just not copy them, but use them to gain a general idea of the subject?”

I am an artist between worlds. Art is what transports me through my experience here in this life, I would like to USE art as a teacher, i wish only to perfect technique as much as possible then go further.

I feel the Drawing Academy is the right step for me to advance as i love the classics and the advice within the tutorial I’ve seen is perfect for me. I would like to win the course as i have the perfect time for it right now and would embrace it fully and IT alone.
