I am a 9th grader in honors and drawing is my hobby since I can remember.
Art is my gift in life and my goal is to major in art in college.
My challenges is painting, but I want to learn how and also to excel in drawing.
I want to win the Drawing Academy course to learn better drawing techniques and to build my portfolio.
I have started learning art in 1999 with Denzil Herring. I believe that if you can’t draw you can’t paint… and I am drawing ever since.
Drawing Academy made me look at fundamental drawing rules and principles and helped to study the subject matter with deeper understanding.
I’m now able to do art I like, compose it myself and give attention to detail and tonal values.
I recommend the Drawing Academy course to all students that want to further their art skills and career.
I am an art tutor for more than 10 years and I learned a lot from Drawing Academy.
I received the full Drawing Academy course in November 2017 and since then I have been learning various techniques and principles from this course video lessons and also practicing whenever possible.
What impressed me the most, is the importance of of fundamental rules of drawing explained in this drawing course…
Hello, my name is Angelos. I am interested to enroll in the Drawing Academy Course with the three monthly installments, but I have the following questions.
1. I have a day job (full time), and I would like to know if I can complete the course, even if it takes me more than three months.
2. As I understand it “Lifetime membership. Free after the 3rd month” means that I can review the lessons as often as I need to complete them.
3. “Personal coaching by Drawing Academy Tutors” – does it mean that I will have it until I finish the course, even if it takes me more than three months?
4. With the completion of the course, will I get my diploma even if it takes me more than three months to finish it?
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Angelos T. Zois.

Please, I need your guidance on how and what to start doing (exercises and steps) to train myself to develop a photographic memory over time as an artist just starting out on the journey – visualizing images and memories and drawing them when I have no model or life reference.
My name is Peter and I live in Belgium. I have started painting again after that my brushes were locked away in a box for over 20 years. To paint again has opened a forgotten place deep inside myself, the question who am I, is now my daily activity and need. I started painting self portraits and copying the old Flemish masters.
Hi Vladimir,
I have been working with portrait drawing. I can end up with a decent drawing, but I am having a very difficult time with measuring the proportions at the beginning. I follow the steps and the basic 1/2, 1/3 measurements, etc., as outlined and shown in the Drawing Academy videos, but somewhere along the way, something goes awry.
I seem to get lost in the process, and proportions get a bit off. One eye might be farther over than it should be, or the side of the head on a slightly turned head isn’t wide enough, etc. I took me about two hours for a head size of about five inches. It’s rather frustrating.
How can I measure out a model’s features and proportions more accurately and with greater ease?
What can I do to make this process easier and more accurate right from the beginning?
Thanks,
Marianne
I live on a beautiful, mountainous, tropical island which gives me an abundance of visual (and every other kind of) inspiration 24/7! Having mostly been involved with writing and music-making over the years, I always really longed to do art, but put it on hold until I “had more time.” Then I suddenly realized that if I waited much longer, I might run out of time altogether! So I started up about 2 years ago, beginning to learn value, tone, perspective, etc… in graphite drawing. I started to gain some confidence in it and allowed myself to try prisma colour pencil and loved that too. I’ve also worked in water colour and acrylics…
