Growing up with art all around me has really helped in discovering myself.
I want to be a full time artist because of the passion I have for art.
I believe everything I need to become a well established artist can be acquired in the Drawing Academy course.
I implore you all to kindly vote for me, to make the dream a reality.
Hi, I am 62 years old. I have no professional ART Training. I have tried to learn from books and videos. I would appreciate some feedback on my drawings.
Thank you for your time

Hi,
Before I enrolled in this course, I designed, but I did not know the anatomy for artists because I had not studied it. I used the grid method.
When searching the Internet for new techniques, I found Drawing Academy and I immediately realized that it would be the best choice for me.
I learned how to draw the right way. After that, I participated in some contemporary exhibitions using what I’ve learned from this course, creating works of art and I had tremendous satisfaction.
Drawing means everything for me. I hope with all my heart to become a full-time artist one day…
I always loved drawing but I never had the proper techniques to learn to master it. Every time I draw I know my drawing is filled with mistakes but I don’t know how to fix them. That is when I decided to look for a guidance from scratch. Gladly I came upon Drawing Academy and I immediately signed up.
It was enlightening, it gave everything I need step by step. I learned how to master classical art with the pencil, to measure the light and shadows and how draw from real life.
It was an amazing experience that I’d recommend to anyone who wants to have a thorough understanding of drawing.
Drawings in graphite pencil I made these still life drawings of cylindrical objects using one point perspective. At the same time, I practice hatching and trying to make interesting compositions.
Dear Natalie and Vladimir,
Every time I see a drawing or painting made by Leonardo, I’m in awe of how he managed to achieve such smooth transitions in skin tone. I was wondering if you could shed some light on how he did that and what technique he used.
In this drawing (image attached) for example, I don’t see any traces of cross hatching. My guess is he used charcoal on top of sanguine and then did lots of blending, but for me, these mediums always produce much harsher marks, and the transition between light and dark can never be so smooth. What was his secret?
Hi, my name is Tain. I stay with my parents in a small village.
I loved drawing very much since my younger age. My interest in drawing developed after I was introduced to an art competition in our area. I was not able to draw anything then.
I always wanted to take an art class or any drawing course but was not able to take one but I always kept practicing on my own. I spend a lot of time everyday watching and learning online drawing tutorials on YouTube, reading blogs post and many other things that would help me improve my drawing yet I still have a lot to learn and develop.
I am someone who loves art but wasn’t given the talent for it. I grew up watching cartoons and reading books like every other kid and I guess that’s how I fell in love with art. I fell in love with how lines and colors can make the impossible possible. Since then it has been some sort of portal through which I can view and shape worlds that don’t exist anywhere else
Art is mainly a hobby that I’ve had ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I was never any good at it, but I loved it nonetheless.
Hi, my name is Luzardo. I’m from Venezuela but currently I’m living in Lima – Peru. Since I was a kid I really like to draw every time I could, but when time has passed on and I didn’t have the knowledge or a path that indicate how to live from art and I wasn’t such a bad student in a regular normal high school (with math, chemistry, physics, literature, English, etc.) I continue with that path in the university and even when repeatedly times during the university I was feeling that something was missing and I didn’t know what was the thing that i need it and that makes me angry, frustrated and down. I took refuge on my drawing.
Probably you’ve read it a million times, but it’s what get me going through the day, the thing that woke me in the morning and make me want to finish my office hours (I work in a telecommunication company in an administrative desk that has nothing to do with art). So, since the day begin I want to finish because when I’m done with the office I run to my flat to draw through the night.
I am 46 years old and just starting my art “career.” My art is about the spiritual life of human beings, the inner processes we go through as we grow and mature and gain wisdom. Sometimes this brings pain and trial, but there is also winning through. My work is about this process.
Art is both my refuge and my voice — where I go to explore, and where I communicate my findings. At this point, I’m interested in the Academy because like many contemporary artists, I never learned classical traditions, and as a result, my representational skills are quite limited. My skill in rendering the human figure is no where near what I’d like it to be.
