I am a full time mother who loves to do art. Art keeps me satisfied about my self-worth. I want to improve on my animal and human anatomy drawing.
I want to win this course to understand more about drawing which I feel is important in the final results. I want people to vote me because I know I am good at coloring but need a little guidance in drawing.
When I draw I can forget my sorrows and it brings me joy and happiness. It’s difficult to explain it in English for me. I’m always looking on YouTube for the video’s so I can learn more. Why I’d love to win? Simple I don’t have the money.
This is my latest drawing with silver and gold no pencil used. I love the silver and gold but it’s difficult to draw with.
Dear tutors,
I was playing a bit with perspective and drew our entrance. I did the piece twice, the first I drew with pencil, with the second, I tried ink. The pencil drawing turned out very linear. As a contrast, I wanted to get something like a tunnel-effect with my ink-drawing.
I liked to draw with ink, although it is not forgiving, so I had to work very concentrated.
I hope I made no mistake when constructing perspective! Your critique is much appreciated! As mother of two, I don´t have as much free time to draw as I wished I had, so it will take me longer to complete the course.
Yours, Michaela

Hi,
My name is Aaron Cristofaro and I have been drawing and painting for a long time. Now I am 41 and I’ve been doing art more seriously for the last four years. The challenges that I still struggle with are the basics of drawing like making controlled lines etc because such skills were not taught when I was taking art lessons before.
I’m still a good artist though I need to polish a few things. I want to learn the classical approach to art and new techniques in oil painting.
I think the Drawing Academy is good because they teach you everything that you need to know to be a seasoned artist. I want to win the Drawing Academy because I want to improve my art skills…
On July 15, 1606 a baby boy by the name of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born in the city of Leiden, Netherlands. His father was a miller named Gerritsz van Rijn. His mother was a baker’s daughter named Neeltgen Willemsdr van Zuytbrouck. Rembrandt had a total of 7 siblings (2 died during infancy). By 1640, only 4 of his siblings managed to make it to adulthood.
Rembrandt was enrolled in Latin school until age 14. By then he transferred to Leiden University. Bored with his courses, he eventually left the university to pursue something of greater interest: painting. His first art teacher was a man named Jacob van Swanenburgh who lived in Leiden. Rembrandt studied under Jacob for 3 years. Rembrandt then ventured to Amsterdam to learn under another master for 6 months, Pieter Lastman, who was especially gifted in the creation of historical paintings. As well as, Jan Pynas. Under both artists, Rembrandt learned subjects such as history and rhetorical gestures.
I’ve been following this site for a while now and seeing the great artworks, friendly environment, and the professional and passionate care of the tutors; I decided to save up some money to one day enroll.
I really want to learn good drawing skills because so far I have been drawing for about a year now, with little to no success. I worked mostly with books, but none of them provided proper guidelines. They give me pictures, but I know that simple copying is no good. There are many videos on YouTube that offer thousands of ways to draw, but none of them seem professional.
Is there a specific routine I should follow when practicing? What order should I follow to achieve a broad sense of drawing?
My name is Adriana and I am from Romania. I live in the UK since 2010.
Since I know the world I drew. I drew everything that went through my mind – from trees to people, from flowers to cars. I have a special pleasure to draw horses. Drawing is a hobby for me. I have never been too good in art.
Hello my name is Jean. I’m from Ecuador and I’ve been drawing since I was 7 years old, but I never took art seriously, just as a hobby and not like a way of living until I was in college and fell in love with it when I visited a friend’s gallery, this impacted me and it has become a great part in my life, from doing it for commission or for fun or a competition, to search everything about the history of art.
