Dear Natalie and Vladimir,
Thank you very much for your great videos, they are very helpful.
I really enjoy drawing and painting very much and with the lessons I feel that I start to have an understanding of the drawing principles and techniques…
Dear colleagues,
I started the Drawing Academy program in 2013; since then I have been working at my own pace, but doing diligently, trying to take the best of the lessons and I sometimes reviewing them over just to make sure I am getting the drawing principles and techniques right. I enjoy the program not only for the learning of drawing but also for the numerous interesting techniques presented in it, such as the old masters metal point drawing technique.
I confess that in the beginning I was afraid to try metal tips in drawing, for fear that I would ‘mess things up’ easily and not be able to correct them, but I decided to give it a try just to see how far I could go. For my surprise, I was able to prepare the paper medium fairly well, following the clear instructions given in the course; furthermore, I was able to complete one drawing with very pleasing results. So gratifying was the first experience that I decided to try it once more, producing the portrait that I present along with this narrative…
Hi,
I am currently enrolled in the Drawing Academy and am slowly working my way through the material. I have learned a lot from the videos I have watched so far, and am impressed with the quality of the material.
When I have worked through all (or at least a large portion of) the material in the Drawing Academy, I am interested in signing up for the other courses.
Is there any overlap/common material in Drawing Academy, Anatomy Master Class and Web Art Academy? Do you see the Drawing academy as the basic introduction/essentials of anatomy for drawing, and the Anatomy Masterclass as providing a more detailed/comprehensive discussion of anatomy? I also notice that there are a few Drawing-specific videos in the Web Art Academy course, although most of the videos are about Oil painting.
Many thanks,
D. Stalberg
I am a mature art student and I attend the local Greek art classes in Corfu. With the help of fellow art students and teachers I have progressed from knowing very little about painting and drawing to a good standard.
It seems that the hidden artist wanted to come out even at this stage in my life. I have always had a strong admiration for beautiful art work and wondered how it could be achieved.
Now I know I can paint beautiful pictures and what pleasure it gives me. I do have a lot of room for improvement so this is why I would like the chance to win the Drawing Academy lessons…
My name is Annalisa.
I always loved drawing and I love learning. My passion is to express myself with my drawings. I would like people to look at my drawings and feel emotions.
I really want to win the Drawing Academy course to improve my drawing skills.
I think Drawing Academy is a great school and it help me to achieve my dreams…
My name is Iftikhar Ahmed and I am a Fine Artist…
For as long as I can remember I have always had a love for drawing. However I never had the opportunity of any formal training. I have read books and tried different techniques by copying what the masters do.
I never seem to be able to draw from memory but can copy almost anything if given a photo. I came across the Drawing Academy a few weeks ago when I was investigating new skills and thought that I would benefit greatly from this course. Help me to become a better artist and inspire the world!
I think the Drawing Academy is a great place to develop your individual art style of fine art…

I have always liked drawing and painting.i could never afford to go to a drawing school.I am interested in every medium from oil to acrylic, pastel, watercolour or charcoal. I especially like drawing the human body and its proportions. My other favourite is painting landscapes…
Hi, my name is Ekene and I am currently an undergraduate at Wits University.
I’m studying Bcom law –a not so very artsy degree! I started drawing from a young age, probably six or seven and have only ever been self taught. I just dabbled y’know? I only started taking art seriously in 2014. I’ve spent a lot of money on art books, art materials and (excitingly!) bought my first easel during the December holidays. I come from a very academic family –so while the end product is appreciated, it’s difficult for my parents to understand why I practice ‘that drawing thing’.
I signed up a year or so ago to the Drawing Academy emails and I really like the structured learning that the course offers, how it covers all the comprehensive bits and bobs that an artist needs to know…
