Portrait drawings by Andreea Popovici
A hope
Hello, my name is Andreea. I started drawing as a child but I never had the possibility of doing to an art school. Sometimes I make portraits on commission…

Pen and Ink drawing by Curt, Drawing Academy student
Crazy Treehopper Insect
I’ve always appreciated pen and ink drawings even as a child. I’m now retired and after working through many of the Academy lessons using graphite I thought I’d be brave and try this new medium.

The Vincent Vibe
Story by Dale R. Kinnie
Nothing could be more exciting and surreal for an artist to visit an area of the world where his favorite artist has lived and worked. In the fall of 2016 I had the great fortune to travel the south of France for a period of time. Most of us already know the Van Gogh life story, but actually walking in his past foot steps conjured up an emotional response for which I was not prepared.
Upon first entering the grounds of Saint Paul de Mausole in St. Remy France, a creepy vibe entered my realm that was unmistakably Vincent. This vibe immediately flooded my memory with all things Vincent, from his documented struggles outwardly and inwardly to an eerie chill ascending my spine…

Artwork by Jayme Purcell
Inner Workings
Hi! My name is Jayme and I live in Australia. I would describe myself as a quiet person and express myself through my drawings. Drawing is my passion and I particularly love to draw people and landscapes.
Since I was very young I have always enjoyed drawing – all I ever want for my birthday/Christmas is more drawing equipment. I feel that art is a very positive thing in my life and gives not only the artist but everyone who enjoys looking at art a very happy feeling.
Portrait drawing by Eima
Convey with Art
Hello there, I am Eima.
Ever since I was a little girl, I was inspired by animated shows to draw a lot. I mostly drew characters from shows I like. Then eventually, I made my own. Each has their own personality and stories. They also have their own worlds.
With those characters in their worlds, I would like to create a story through art. I believe I can convey meaningful messages through colors put on a canvas…

What is the best hatching style for drawings?
Question from Elizabeth
I want to ask a question regarding graphite strokes used in drawing.
In these videos you mention that hatching is best:

However, I use little circles (like what colored pencil artists use).
My question is, is this an inappropriate stroke to use for graphite drawings? Thanks!
Architectural Drawing Critique
Castle Drawing by Jeff Rissman
I drew this image of a castle, first light outlines in graphite, then filling in with colored pencil. Here’s a sequence of images showing the stages of progress on the piece. I’m interested in any critique you may have.
