Pensamientos
Artwork by María Beatriz Laffaille
Perhaps it’s not so interesting but I’ll tell you.
I’m 67 years old and when I was a child of 10, my parents discovered I like drawing and sent me to a teacher to learn how to draw and paint.
Then when I entered the secondary school, my activities were many or more than many, and I was obliged to stop learning.
Life went on, after the secondary school, I attended the University. Then I worked at different schools. I got married, had my own family, and never again had the time to go on with my drawing and painting classes.
Now I’m retired from my teaching activities, and motivated by my family I re-started with my drawings…
How to make it art?
Artworks by Lisa Lieber, Drawing Academy student
I have just started the drawing course and I love it! I am in my second week and have already learned so much and have gained a lot of skill. I know I will continue to grow! I am sending in a portrait drawing for critique, ( I also included a drawing of vases from the class).
I have included a portrait done by Natalie Richy to help explain my question. To me my portrait shows great improvement from my past attempts, but doesn’t look like art ( or at least not what I hope to create). Natalie’s does! Can you help me understand what I am seeing and not seeing? I appreciate any thoughts and comments …
How to determine the horizon line
Question from Dermott, Drawing Academy student
I’m having trouble determining the horizon level when drawing pictures in perspective.
Is there a rule of thumb I can use to accurately locate the horizon line? …
How to render tonal values
Question from Myka, Drawing Academy student
Is it necessary to shade the object with the darkest dark the pencil can go and lightest light?
I’ve been going to an art class that teaches fine art. My art teacher told me that it is necessary to make the darkest spots as dark as the pencil can go and make the highlights as light as the paper. I know that this might have a different effect on the artwork. Does it make the artwork more three-dimensional? Is it absolutely necessary to do this, or can I still not use the full power of the pencil and still make it look three dimensional?
Thank you for helping me improve my drawing skills …
Tupac Shakur
Artwork by Conkord Rapanan
I’ve been drawing most of my life and I’m self taught, but I stopped about 10 years ago. I’ve made drawings with charcoal, graphite and also pastel.
I have always had the interest in going to an art school but I have never been to one. About a few months ago, I have decided that I wanted to draw again. At first, I was having a hard time not really knowing where to start again. One day I have found a clear picture of Tupac from a magazine and thought I’d give it a try with graphite. Although the drawing turned out be just okay, I wasn’t satisfied with the result. I’m starting to love drawing all over again and I know my skills are lacking and I’m very interested in learning new techniques and expanding my knowledge to improve my skills….

Self portrait
Artwork by Aras Saber
I am a visual artist living in Canada. I came from a family of artistic desires; two of my brothers are also artists. since I was 12 years old I was inspired by my elder brother watching him creating art works and this influence have ignited my burnt soul to express myself through drawing scribbles. Later on I pursued learning art through my own by reading books whichever I can afford buying them. But I noticed that learning from books is not as effective as a tutor. Therefor, I decided to move my house to another city in order to enroll in a three years art program for adult continuing education in Toronto Ontario, Canada.
I learnt a lot in my school but I still need to work on my drawing skills, such disciplines as human anatomy, proportion, and perspective. Therefor, I need to win this drawing competition by getting support from the viewers and voting for me so that can improve my artistic skills Thank you for supporting me in advance…
