Not the last drop of hoping
Artwork by Christina Xinari
I have never taken any drawing classes, even though I always dreamt to. However I have been drawing all my life.
Many people praise my drawings, but I feel I need to educate myself on the subject, before I expose any of my work.
Taking classes of drawing online is a brilliant idea! …

Artworks by Javier, Drawing Academy student
Dear tutors,
I always liked to draw, but I never learned to have a solid foundation in traditional drawing skills.
A short time ago I wanted to dedicate myself to learning seriously, and so I enrolled in the Drawing Academy. I’m very pleased with the course.
I’m learning a lot with lessons and exercises. This course provides a solid foundation, and I noticed my progress in this short time.
I would like to show you some of the drawings I have done by following the first lessons: drawing in perspective, drawings of still-life objects, drawing by rendering shades and drawing of a front and profile face…

In 2009 I began to draw. My skills rapidly increased and in 2013 I began to do art shows to sell my work. Although I was making a little money on the side I felt that if I improved my skills in drawing I would be able to make a living in the wonderful world of art. During the past 2 years I have sunk my heels into books and videos to try to teach myself the techniques I needed to become a successful artist…

Portrait of a Girl after Nikolai Blohkin
Artwork by Dan S., Drawing Academy student
I thought this was a unique point of view for a portrait (profile from slightly below). Working the hair was a challenge and a learning experience. I really like the fact that he used a round reflective object (the ear ring) and the hair band. These make the portrait more interesting…
life as canvas and teacher
Artwork by Denzil Baadjies
As a young boy, I, as many who drew stick figures and characters with eyes too big and feet too small, dreamt of becoming an artist but this of cause faded as I allowed those who had little understanding of art to undermine its soul enriching value.
With these words they pulled bristles from my brush “an artist only becomes famous ones dead” as if creating any artwork means absolutely nothing until you die.
As we all know that validation to a child is of utmost importance, it tends to set you for life but ones you create to impress that is when your creative playground shrinks…
Memoirs of a Geisha
Artwork by Shivalika
Drawing has always been a part of my life and I always knew that I wanted to be an artist. As a kid, I would often copy my favorite cartoon characters in order to learn to draw. Unfortunately I didn’t have anyone who could tell me otherwise or guide me into learning fundamentals or realistic drawing. Till now I did not realize that I would need to strengthen my roots in order to really make it as an artist. So I started drawing from pictures and observations but the end result is never quite where it should be. And because my drawing skills are so limited, drawing from imagination is just not yet possible for me. I am currently 17 years old, yes a student, which is why it would be great to win this competition and finally have clear guidance to improve my art skills…
