Hello, I am known to my students as Mrs. Ajayi. I am a high school art teacher who has been trusted to teach drawing skills to these young artists. Being able to use some of these videos in my class would be such an incredible opportunity to peak the interest of my students, as well as boost their confidence in their ability to accomplish such amazing drawings!
This is a architectural drawing of the Red Square done freehand using Rotring isograph pen only.
I am trying to improve my observational skills and penmanship. I have always been interested in art and drawing and decided to enroll in order to improve my skills but also be able to work at my own pace…
One day as I starred at a tiny little bird hooping and picking staffs from the dust. I beckoned to myself in fluster, saying I wont see this bird anymore when it flew, neither can I catch it because that will be a big task for nearly 7 year old little boy. With much enthusiasm, quickly I decide to create something to represent it so I can behold it even when it goes it way. Without an iota of idea as to what am doing and not knowing what it means to draw, I joined lines launching formation of a bird…
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…
