My name is Trung Huynh. I am in my mid 30s and always had a passion for art. In grade school my teachers saw that passion and entered me in an art competition which I had won and would have began my art career but sadly things did not turn out the way I had hoped.
My interest in art goes back to my childhood years, when my parents befriended a gallerist. I visited the gallery often with them, attended art exhibitions, and met well-known artists when I was just about 7 years old. I was a quiet child so they allowed me in.
My name is Pat Smith. I am a seventy five year old retired systems programmer from the University of Michigan.
Good afternoon Vladimir and Natalie,
I am a new student. I have reviewed all 45 drawing lessons to get an overview of the approach and how it would fit into my schedule. I realise that a serious study the concepts and understanding what it is all about, would serve me well. I am a plodder.
I’m a Watercolor Academy student and I recently created this artwork, which is a poster design made for a motorcycling brand.
My name is Susi Franco. I believe Art is a Survival Tool. It has carried me through several serious crises.
Drawing Academy seems like an excellent platform that provides comprehensive art education and training. I appreciate the fact that it covers a wide range of topics, from basics to advanced techniques, and it seems like a great resource for artists of all levels. Winning the Drawing Academy course would be an incredible opportunity for me to improve my skills and learn from experienced artists. I believe that this course will help me achieve my goals of becoming a successful animator and producing high-quality artwork.
Hello!
I have recently discovered the harm of learning to draw from photos on DA’s homepage. And I read that it could make it impossible for me to learn the proper way, from live models if I ever try that later.
Now – I started drawing a year ago with the intention to become a more skilled artist and have been using photos as reference (and art books).
As a full time working father (I am 38) to a 4-year old I haven’t had the time to attend life drawing classes with real models.
Do you think the year I spent on learning proportions and drawing from photos has been too damaging for me so that I cannot re-learn from live models? perhaps a silly question but I am a bit worried.
I wish you teachers the very best!
Regards
Richard M
My name is Aisha, from London. I am a mother to a beautiful little girl. Art has always had a place in my heart since I was I was a child. Art is my sense of peace and calm. It helps me to relax when the world seems chaotic.
Born in Porteirinha – MG, I lived on music for a long time. As in any city in the interior of Brazil, there was demand from parents to enroll in a college. I had to move to another city since my hometown didn’t have colleges.
I joined the Faculty of Information Systems. While studying Information Systems I started an internship at a software company. There I could understand that the life I was leading was not the one I was looking for in my future.
