My very first portrait
Portrait drawing by Octavian, Drawing Academy student
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…
Poetic Art
Artwork by Ibanga Emem
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…
Guitarist who loves to draw
Artwork by Nathaly Joanne Corales
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…
My Testimony and Thanks to the Drawing Academy
Feedback from James McCreary, Drawing Academy student
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…
Artwork by Sonam Wangchen
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…
Two Infants Together
Artwork by Dan S., Drawing Academy student
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…
I want to become a Master Artist
Artwork by Nasser Jaffer Ali Salem
I am a self taught artist with the goal to become a Master Artist. Even though I stopped drawing and painting 40 years ago, now I am learning hard from DVDs, Videos, PDF Books, and Online courses.
I saw a video titled “Help! I Can’t Draw” and was astonished by the techniques and organized knowledge in this lessons. I decided to participate in this competition to win the Drawing Academy course…
