My name is Menna, 16 years old from Cairo, EGYPT. I love drawing since I was a child but I stopped for 2 years because of an art teacher in my school. He sometimes was making fun of my drawings and questions. Then a dear Syrian friend came to Egypt (my school) her passion was art so she made me return to draw again…
Hi, I am Osei Henry Ofori from Ghana. I discovered that drawing is a talent to me after drawing a series of animated characters. Way back in school my terminal report card wasn’t something you would like to see because I failed in most coursers with the exception of one named creative art. So I capitalized on art because that was the only thing I could do with ease. I had distinction in this particular course which made a fame for me. Years later I got to realize I have done several artworks without a notice. By much practice I have much good which enforces the old adage “Practice makes Man Perfect”…
This is my first acrylic painting, a gift for my Grandma since I cannot be home for the new year celebration. I did this painting in two weeks, after reading many how-to books and youtube tutorials.
Around 2 years ago, after many years of general education and neglecting drawing, I found myself interested in art again. Now, I am 22 and pursuing a career in animation.
The more I draw and the more I make films, the more I realize how my vision and ideas are limited by my inadequate drawing skills…

Hello, I wanted to submit this drawing I did for critique. It took me a little over 9 hours to complete from the basic measurements and basic shape construction of the body to the final rendering. I feel I am making improvement in my art. I especially feel I am better understanding the female anatomy. I think for many artists, drawing females is harder especially because pretty much all art books and anatomy books use the male physique as a reference. Those references that do use the female anatomy, use it very vaguely…
Artwork by Helen B. Wilson, Drawing Academy student This was one of the first acrylic paintings done in 1996 with the help of my teacher guiding me through each step. After watching Drawing Academy videos…
I have always loved art as a child until present. My father used to draw a little when I was younger, however, I can’t recall what his style was; just that he could draw and it was fun to watch him.
My first set of oil paints were purchased using S&H Green Stamps, used for redeeming for merchandise when I was about 15. Of course, I had no idea about what to do with them other than paint with them. I knew nothing about color mixing or theory. My brother and I were the school artists that were called upon to enter art competitions and paint the classroom windows for the holidays…
Artwork by Loreta, Drawing Academy student Hello, thank you for the beautiful course that you offer. Here is one of my pictures. Thank you very much. Loreta.
Hi, I am currently studying a bachelor of science in Zoology and Ecology at James Cook University in Australia. I began drawing as a hobby and considered getting a degree in art but wondered if it would be worth the amount of money. Instead, I stuck with science, but keep moving forward in drawing and painting mainly focusing on animals finding it would help with my studies. Science and art may not seem to fit together, but the best scientists were the ones willing to think outside the box…
