Growing up in Clare, Michigan, USA, I never even attempted drawing. While I was in the sixth grade, I did realize that I could write, and I continued writing voraciously for several years. When I went to Central Michigan University, I studied creative and copywriting, but I wound up working first in Desktop Publishing and later in Administration and Software Support.
The Drawing Academy looks like a solid course with tutors who know the skills of craft, and that is why I would like to get this course. The best thing for me in this course is that I can receive critique on my art. My previous teachers could only tell me “well done” regardless how bad my drawings were. After checking the Drawing Academy articles with critique, I see that the teacher-student communication can be very different. Drawing Academy teachers are not afraid to tell what is wrong with students’ art and how to fix those mistakes. This is exactly what I need at this time – someone who can guide me on my mistakes and teach me how to avoid them.

My name is Rodny Garcia. I was born in Havana, Cuba. My artwork is a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci. I did it in impressionistic technique in acrylic. I have never had an art school. Everything I know about painting is self-learned thanks to YouTube videos.
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.
