My name is Josefin I am from Sweden and live here right now.
My profession is Art teacher (Ba from University) and I have been in Junior high school for teaching for many years.
I like drawing and clay sculpture – I like the charcoal, the pencil and the sanguine chalks.
I am wanting to speed up my drawing knowledge and be more advanced in my drawings…
Portraits “Before and After” by Judy Hirsch, Drawing Academy student Below is my last self-portrait (bottom-left) in front of a mirror done back at home in Reno, NV. For a comparison (top-left) is the “before”…
Hello, my name is Octavian and this is my first time submitting a finished artwork on this site, after having watched a few of Drawing Academy video lessons from the first month…
Hello, I am Ibanga Emem, a 19-year old artist from Nigeria. I started drawing at age 7 (if not younger), and I took it for a hobby (most of us did that as little children). I left medical school to study art because I don’t just love to draw, but I paint, and I write. I would love it, if I am granted the Drawing Academy membership because I want to improve in shading tones, anatomy and perspective. This will help my imaginations come to life…
Hello, my name is Nathaly. I am a guitarist who always liked to draw but never took it seriously until I took a drawing class in college last year, which made me remember how much I loved drawing. I love all Art in general but making music and drawing are my two favorites.
I drew this self-portrait in order to use it as a poster for my Senior Guitar Recital in College. The full poster is 18″x24″ but the self-portrait drawing is about 16″x15″ on its own. It was made with Graphite.
I believe that the Drawing Academy is a good place to learn good fundamentals. It does not matter if you want to draw modern things because the fundamentals they offer are extremely important for every artist…
I signed up for the Drawing Academy about 2 weeks ago I guess. I started drawing about 6 months ago and it was about then or a little bit later I ran across the video by Vladimir London – the 12 Most Essential Skills Every Artist Must Have. Then a bit later I watched the 12 Drawing Mistakes to Avoid.
I have to say to Vladimir that his words back then inspired me so much because I could sense his passion and somehow I knew that what He was saying and offering at the Drawing Academy was exactly what I longed for…
I really like the Drawing Academy course and would like to win the full membership.
Drawing was my first hobby and was since the childhood and now I would like to get back on track…
I am 34 years old man from a small kingdom of Bhutan. I live in the central part of the country. I work here as an elected representative of my town but my term will be over by this June. I am an art lover and fascinated by art works.
We have a traditional painting school, but I have always wanted to be a modern artist. I have never been to an art school or had a basic training. Whatever I have learned so far is because of my huge interest and love for art.
I would have become an artist if only we had an art school when I was a child. Given an opportunity, I will still learn and fulfill my dream…
Here is a composition where I put together an infant brother and sister from the mother’s favorite photos of her children. In this case I could not draw from life because the two children are now teenagers. I did, however, have to imagine the composition as a single scene where the photos were taken from two different backgrounds. I’m not sure how I did fitting the two into a common background, the infants seem to be reacting in slightly different ways to the same stimulus.
Anyway, it was fun to try this…
