Relax
Artwork by Eunhae Lee
Hi, I am international student and major in painting at Texas. I have learned the art from elementary school student because I really liked the art from childhood. Whenever I draw or paint, it is really give happiness to me. So, I decided art is my way and I have a dream to become an art teacher because I hope the students learn the true art through me. I also want the students who suffer hard times psychologically are treated through the art. Art has power to make people feel comfortable and sometimes give a time. ..
The Rapt of Europe
Artwork from Emmanuel
Hi everyone,
In the ancient Greek mythology, the princess Europe were sitting on a beach, Zeus disguised as a bull come close to her, and rapt her through Island of Creta.
This topic has been very often used in art history by the old masters. As a European citizen I love this topic for its deep emotional quality…
Before and After sketches
Artworks by JaganM, Drawing Academy graduate
I’m a software engineer, with interest in sketching, painting, music and photography, which brings joy in my life.
I had very basic drawing skills before enrolling in the Drawing Academy. I had very limited information on fundamental concepts of constructive drawing, rendering, perspective, and fore shortening.
In this course, I learned hatching techniques, linear perspective rules, face and body proportions. I haven’t seen such teaching style before. It is easy to learn in the Drawing Academy, starting from basic topics to more advanced levels. I’m very happy that on short period of time I learned so much about drawing techniques…
Leonardo da Vinci
Artwork by Ronnie Rayner Larter
With the recent article published about Leonardo da Vinci, one of my heroes, I felt impressed to share this drawing I did of Leonardo’s self-portrait. I know in some quarters copying is frowned on, but personally I feel it has advantages. It can help us learn about rendering and techniques when we copy the master’s work…

A journey through Art
Artworks and feedback from Tina, Drawing Academy graduate
I was quite pretty good at drawing when I was young, and received lots of compliments. But for a long time I’ve always known I needed to learn more and there was something missing in my drawing.
I have searched around and enrolled for quite a handful of fine arts courses, and even live model drawing and hands-on art classes. Then I found Drawing Academy. I’ve learned a great deal from Drawing Academy which I haven’t learnt any where else, or have learnt but incomplete.
The Golden Proportions, 3 points perspective, ariel perspective, detailed anatomy, body masses and structures, as well as thorough techniques walking me through every modelling drawing, are what I found very helpful, knowledgable and practical…
Study of an Arm
Artwork by Ronnie Rayner Larter
This drawing was done using the Charles Bargue sight-sizing method in graphite pencil and white chalk on pastel painted paper.
I began to study the Bargue method about three years ago and it seems to be an excellent way of learning to draw; first from the flat then from 3-D objects. However, using the Bargue measuring method can become a hindrance that could prevent an artist from developing fluency in drawing, thereby losing that emotional quality…
Diamond in the Rough
Artwork by Fidel Antonio
Hello,
My name if Fidel Antonio, I am 31 years old and a graduate with a BFA in painting from the Herberger Institute at ASU.
I started drawing when I was very little. It began as a hobby and eventually it became my career.
I truly must say that I did not learn anything while attending ASU’s art program, and I’m left with a huge debt. I’m very good at drawing from a photograph but I cannot create something from scratch. Right now all I can produce is copies of photographs or other paintings as studies but no original work…
