Fantasy City
I drew this picture of a fantasy city. It is 11 inches by 14 inches and is done in Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I hope you like it.

My name is Laurent Reboul and I’m 56 years old. I’ve lived in the San Francisco bay area my whole life.
Although I’ve been more of a musician most of my adult life, I do love to draw and paint every chance I can. I’ve settled for digital art as it allows me to access more tools and references. I’ve gotten to the point now where I would like to get beyond my now, stagnant, level. My dream is to paint on big Canvases with oils, but I need to learn a lot more, to say the least!
Big thanks to all Drawing Academy Art Competition participants and voters!
In nominating the winners, we considered how many Social shares/votes participants received from other people.
Hello, my name is Aaronn. I’m 21 years old and I enjoy fine art to the core.
Art, in general, takes first place in my life. Whenever I feel drowned out by the busy world and need any inspiration, I remind myself of the art that is in everyday life. The challenges that I personally have in art are not really challenges. The love that I have for art helps me to see them as little games. When I cannot figure out how a certain composition came to be, it is fun to figure it out. It brings me personal great joy to try & figure out how what I see came to be and the different ways it can be represented. It wouldn’t be a false statement to say I want to learn everything; I want to be able to paint from sight and from my imagination. I don’t want to limit myself as to what I can create, which is why I found Drawing Academy.
I am a retired, well almost, accountant, grandmother of 13, and have painted most of my adult life. I have had to leave it for lengthy periods of time when life got in the way. Now I have the freedom to pursue becoming an accomplished artist.
I’ve been painting for about 16 years in my free time between jobs (I’m a freelancer). I love painting and I love learning all that I can about it. So much so that I’ve been teaching others for the last 5 years.
My name is Makayla, but I liked to be called Mast.
I’m only in high-school, but one day I want art to be my career.
My name is Laith Nasr-eldin Abuarram.
I like to draw and for last 8 months I was self-learning drawing. My dream is to become a professional fine artist.
When I found the Drawing Academy website, I was shocked – everything I wanted to learn about drawing is available there. I know that this drawing course will give me a great help in improving my drawing skills.
The visual arts has brought me through 37 years of life. It kept me occupied as a young child, and has given me a career goal as an adolescent. Today, it is what I must do to stay alive with my sanity in order. Throughout my journey in life, I have always wanted the ability to draw like the old masters do. To have the technical clarity to express myself in any way, shape, or value is more than a desire. It is a need that I have neglected for to long.
