Artwork by Ayushi Agarwal
Too tired to try!
While I was sitting outside in the garden, something suddenly struck my mind and I don’t know why but I wanted to draw a picture like this, so I took a reference as well…

Main proportions of a head
Question from Wayne, Drawing Academy student
In the “Drawing a face” lesson, the 1/3 placement of the nose, eyebrow, and hairline uses the top of the hairline and bottom of the chin as the outer dimensions to calculate the 1/3-1/3-1/3 and not the top of the skull and chin. This leads to the question: How much room do I allow for the hairline to the top of the skull before I divide it into thirds?
I really appreciate your help and critique of my work. It has taught me to pay more attention to detail.

Angela Armano, Artist
I am a 46 year old full time administrative assistant and part-time lover of art.
I long to create art while I am sitting at my desk working and think about it all of the time. I get home, take care of the family and it seems art always takes a back seat. Well, I say no more. I want my dream to become a reality of being able to create…

Art Stroke
People say and I also feel that I’m creative. I have many ideas for drawing and painting, but sometimes it’s difficult to implement. I need to learn how to paint and draw, so it would help to become a better artist and fully express myself in art…

Portrait painting
Here is a painting recently done of my wife while she sat outdoors. The original drawing was done from life but I had to complete the painting from a reference photo that I took. (She was way too impatient to pose for a painting for as long as it takes me.)
Relearning how to draw – Drawings critique
Critique by Vladimir London, Drawing Academy tutor
Hi Roman,
Many thanks for your email and drawings. You told me that you have been drawing from photos for some time and now want to re-learn how to draw from life and imagination, but have some concerns about your progress.
Don’t be hard on yourself, many art students would be glad to have your drawing skills.
There are, however, few things you can start working on right now. Let’s start from the beginning: …
Artwork and story by Jerameel Lu
Unfinished Piece
I am Jerameel Lu, 25, a hobbyist from the Philippines. I am a Civil Engineer by profession, but Art is my passion.
For now, Art is just my hobby: I’m still busy earning a living as an engineer, so I have little time to work on creative projects. For this reason, inspiration rarely strikes me. My job is internet-based and I work alone in my room on engineering estimates late into the night, and only log-off at 8 in the morning.
Due to lack of proper knowledge about art, I grew up doing portraiture by copying what I see in the picture. At first that was the true meaning of perfection for me, when I can copy what I see, I am good. But not until I wake up one day, watched some of Web Art Academy’s free videos and reality smacked me, I am not good, I am just a human copying-machine…
