My name is John Andrew, and ever since I was a young boy, I have always admired the old masters for how they drew and painted and how they portrayed the world around them using their red chalk and imagination. I am in awe of their work and how they show their emotions and personalities with each line of the crosshatch they do. I think art is God’s gift to men.
Art has been an integral part of my life, an ever-present companion shaping my identity. From an early age, I found solace in the strokes of a paintbrush and the dance of colors on a canvas. Expressing myself on the canvas of home walls marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with art.
Dear Drawing Academy,
I have just completed a drawing of Apollo. Here are several pictures of the steps I took. I am looking forward to your critique.
Sincerely,
Michael
Drawing Academy is the finest place to learn traditional art
My name is Tejas Tanna. I am 23 years old from Gujarat, India. I like drawing and painting from childhood
I recently have attempted rendering shades of this still life. Am I overworking my paper with how hard I’m pressing? I feel like I didn’t adequately keep my pencil sharp throughout the first half of the drawing so I’m getting a lot of smudging. Also I’m not quite sure how to work out the edges of each shape without intruding in on the shape or making the outline look shaky; which caused me to purposely outline each shape to differentiate the background and object.
From a young age, the everyday beauty of life has captivated me. It is my goal as an artist to capture this beauty and tell its story the best I know how.
It has been over 4 decades since I have completed my academic studies at California School of Performing and Visual Arts (SPVA).
