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…
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…
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…
I am very grateful to all who supported me and left so warm comments on my page:

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…
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…
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…
This is a portrait of a young woman in 3/4 view in graphite and chalk pencil. Light is above and to the left…
I’m a 13-year-old boy. I started drawing when I was seven years old. I’m from Miami, Florida. I love to see cartoons, especially manga and comics. All those cartoons had been an inspiration for me, and that’s why I draw my comics with characters designed by me.
There exist many reasons for me to win this contest. The most important reason for me is sharing my designs. My desire is to find people in this world who have an interest in comics like I do. I’d love to meet comic lovers to share my ideas and sketches with…
I am turning 65, have been drawing for 40 years. I draw everyday, even when I was raising my 2 children who have now left the house and have families of their own. It is important for me to leave to my family the treasures I have created…
