Received College diploma in Art. Aspiring Drawing Academy student with a life long interest in Art, but wants to (re)learn the fundamentals of drawing. I have been lurking through this website for quite some time, and have been very impressed with what I have seen on here. If selected for membership, I hope to take full advantage of what the academy has to offer…
When finding a subject for study do you often look for something with niceties or beauty? Well, let me tell you, although…
I am a u.k. cased artist originally from the North, I am a musician sculptor writer and poet too, I love to draw and the Academy has been a source on art.
I am self taught so I revel in minor discoveries I make during my expressions of feelings and dilemmas, for example, here is an improvisation in breeze block, a progress which makes each moment a joy and a struggle, i am close to mastering technique and feel I am able to apply my imagination to my work soon…
I started with the painting in October 2013 in the municipality where I live…
I am in a moment of doubt of how to go on with a drawing. Should I let as it is now? Should I use some color? …
Hi, my name’s Sophie and I’m 15 years old.
I’ve never had art lessons and am completely self taught. Art takes up quite a big part of my life. I currently do GCSE art in school and get a tonne of coursework so I don’t have much time to draw freely. Although when I do have time to draw I like to enter competitions, doodle in my sketchbook and stalk artists on instagram:).
One of the biggest challenges I face in art is originality. I constantly have to be looking up references online to get a drawing done and I have never made an original piece (all of my work has used photo references). I would love to try surrealism but as of now I know that would never work as I’d be looking for references for days before I find something suitable…
Okay, you cool arty dudes! I came across some common mistake, a presumption a lot of you artists tend to make: Take our showgirl- the egg- how many of you confuse or differentiate between, the centre light and the high light ‘of her per-form-ance’?.
Oh my, do I have to enlighten you on this? The high light is that brief moment when she connects with the light source. It is the connection, let’s call it the third eye. Being in the spot light on centre stage does encourage her to shine, fair enough, and she does show her colours in many half tones, but… the high light of her performance- is that special moment, when she connects with the light source- a very brief moment indeed! …
I am Marianna Vad from Hungary. I am 32 years old and I have always interested in art.
I love to write poems both in English and in Hungarian and I love to draw. However, I should learn a lot to do it professionally, which is my dream. Besides writing and drawing, I like manipulating pictures on my computer because with this tool I can create a lot of interesting things. But, not long ago, I realized that I could only deliver my thoughts and feelings in the best way if I knew each and every technique in connection with drawing…

Hello everybody! I have just started the Drawing Academy course, and I am so, so happy!
I’ve started to paint during high school, but only just simple drawings, nothing serious. After a very sad moment in my life, I was starting to look for something to repair the broken part inside of me. After a while, a good friend asked me to help her little boy who is suffering from a very rare disease, and to paint for him, for an auction that she wanted to prepare in Greece, where they actually live. I’ve never putted down the brush since then…
