Oh deer

Hi! My name is Rebekah. When I was a kid, I always like drawing on random bits of paper. Never really did more than that till I was waiting for my dad at the bank and my mother said, if I liked it, I should learn more.

My name is Fredrika Nel. I originally come from South Africa. Two years ago me and my husband moved to Ireland. I am a mother of 3 kids and have 8 grand children.

I love doing all kinds of art but love doing the pencil drawings. I want to go more in to art now that I have the chance. I had no professional training and wish to get professional courses to help me along. I need to get more info on the things that I know and done.

I would like to learn how to draw light at the right angle and shading; how to draw in perspective. I love things to look real.

I just started to paint at the tender age of 66 never had so much fun!

I am retired and have no time for anything else

Choose life

I chose life.

I chose a job, a career in advertising. I chose the big television, a washing machine and a car.

The life of a struggling artist never appealed to me. Instead I spent the last 5 years advancing my career, falling victim to materialism and the slow cancer that is lifestyle creep. The life I was building was fragile, and it took a small push to shatter it into a million pieces.

Today I don’t own a big tv, or a washing machine or a car. I no longer work in advertising.

Art calls to me. There’s no other way of describing it. I’ve ignored the calling, and the cost has been high. It isn’t a hobby, not like playing the guitar or cooking or rock-climbing. Art is scary as hell, and without it my life is hollow.

My Girl

Hi,

My name is Sha Chokie and I would like to share a portrait of my girl.

I really like the Drawing Academy course and would like to win this competition to receive a free access to its video lessons.

I want to learn how to draw skillfully from life and imagination.
