Hi there!
I’m Enerida and I’m 16. I was born in Albania and I still live there. Art is a very important part of my life. Whenever I want to feel relaxed or happy I try to draw something. I have always been praised of how much talented I was, but for me it was never enough. I have always wanted to progress more.
Hello. I was pretty convinced that I would definitely receive some high-quality educational materials in the Drawing Academy. And I wasn’t mistaken! However, as I continue to advance with the lessons, I can’t help but notice that some of your videos lack photographs of the objects that a learner is supposed to draw. Can you please clarify how to study in the Drawing Academy course?
This is my attempt at the toned paper lesson – live drawings of two whale skeletons in a nearby museum. To give them proper scale, I chose a full sheet of 140 lb Arches paper split horizontally.
I wanted to convey the immense size of these creatures as best I could. I used masking fluid to provide stark contrast between the background and bones. I prefer the profile drawings over the earlier three quarter views, but I am glad I did them first as I learned much from them.
Hi, my name is Amrita. I’m a designer and illustrator and having good drawing skills is very important for my career.
Despite receiving a diploma in animation, I actually didn’t get any education in fine art and was unable to do realistic drawings; I only had cartooning skills.
About two years ago I enrolled in the Drawing Academy course. This was a very smart decision because I was able to learn at home what was missing in my art education. I have learned how to draw portraits and figures, landscapes, and everything I want. Now I understand a human anatomy and have a good knowledge of body proportions. This enabled me to create realistic portraits and draw natural landscapes.

I am retired and art take the place in my life that have always being in me. As a little kid and, now an old man this is something that I always want to be and DO!
My Dreams has always being to become an ARTIST. Artist in the sense of drawing, anatomy, painting, animation and imagination!! To be able to express myself to the world how beautiful and important art is. Therefore, the significance of winning and studying the Drawing Academy Course is imperative to me. As an aspiring ARTIST; I think can be done with your great instructional course.
I have been taking a lot of time in the portrait drawing section of the Drawing Academy course as I have not learned portrait drawing before. Here is the latest portrait I did of a young African woman.
I would appreciate your critique of this portrait to help me fine tune my skill in this area!

Mostly, I am a Painter, yet painting is like drawing, in its foundation. I suppose my level would be incredible potential. I have made drawings prior, yet after going through the Drawing Academy my drawings excelled. I learned principles of constructive drawing, tonal value, human proportions, perspective, and drawing techniques. Before the course, I almost exclusively painted and now I have knowledge to exclusively draw. I can excel now at both together or separate. After completing the Drawing Academy coursework, I can draw anything! It’s terrific! The clear instruction was awesome. I love how the Drawing Academy is based in traditional, classical methods. I enrolled because I wanted to be able to draw anything and everything. Additionally, the lifetime access to the lectures and demonstrations is a true plus.
I used graphite and charcoal pencil in this drawing. I have been drawing for a couple of years now. But I have not found my own style yet.
I love to draw and just want to get better as I learn. I draw for a hobby and took the Drawing Academy course to start from the beginning as if I don’t know anything. I keep my mind open to learn new things. I know this course is going to help me improve very much.
