Grand Kida are Great

Grand Kida are Great

Artwork by Leonard, Drawing Academy student

My Story started back in 1976. I took art in Junior High and High School. I learned the basics and that was about it. I continued to draw until about 1981/1982 when i was in the Military. I served 21 years and retired in 2000.

In early 2014 I felt this longing to draw again so I went a bought an art pad and some pencils and started to draw and realized that I really sucked at it. I almost gave up.

My loving wife if 30 years told me to keep at it and I would get better. I searched the web for drawing lessons. I found many that were for computer aided drawings. So I found videos on YouTube I watched and applied what I was learning. Then I came crossed the Drawing Academy and thought I would give it a try…

Questions about the Drawing Course

Questions about the Drawing Course

Questions from Gabriel Tapia

Dear Drawing Academy Tutors,

I am very interested in taking your online course. I already read the “FAQ” section in your webpage, but I still have some questions:
1. I admire classical drawing and I would really like to learn more about this topic. Nevertheless, I am rather used to a more “stylized” way of drawing (like the one you can find in American and Japanese comic books) since one of my main goals is to become a comic book artist. Is this course appropriate for me?

2. What kind of materials do I need?

3. If I decide to choose assignments, do I have deadlines for them? How long do I have to submit my assignments? (This information will be very helpful for me to organize my time.) Do these assignments have an additional cost?

4. Is there an additional cost for the “personal critique” service?

5. Does the Diploma of Excellence awarded after the course completion have international recognition?

6. Do you offer painting lessons as well? …

Mechanical vs. wooden case pencils

Question from Alex, Drawing Academy student

Is it best to use the traditional pencils mentioned in video 1 of month one, or can we use a lead holder? I often use the Staedtler Mars 2.0 mm pencil for my drawings.
