Feedback and artworks from Sabina Popovici Hantu, Drawing Academy graduate

Thank you Vladimir, thank you Natalie

This course gave me a great opportunity to develop my drawing skills, to learn a lot of things like perspective, human anatomy, hatching techniques and much more. I am self taught, and before the drawing course I only new how to draw “what I see”, not “what I know”.

Drawing Academy taught me “how to draw what I know”. This improved my art greatly. Your course gave me the knowledge of things that can only be learned at art academies…

Hello everyone who want to read:)

I study architecture on 4th year in Poland. I like it, but it isn’t a thing which i love. Since i was a child first place I’m my life had painting and drawing. I had never finished any art school, even if it was my dream. Just in high school i was attending for drawing course to an amazing studio, where I learned that maybe I’m not that bad as i was thinking…

Hello, I am Christos Kakoulli from Nicosia, Cyprus.

I draw since last February and I can do also airbrush and spray paint art.

I need to win because I love art. I believe that pencil is the most powerful tool for peace; we can draw to change the world and to live in a better place…

I have been painting and drawing off and on for some time. Now I have a chance to do it full time and would like to improve my skills. Your program seems to be the ideal method for improving my drawings. I live too far away from the city of Seattle to regularly attend classes. So home study is my only option. So I hope I win this contest to improve myself…

Drawing by Petre Maierean, Drawing Academy student

I was always able to draw from imagination for design and engineering purposes, but to a lesser extent portraits.

This is a drawing from imagination I’ve made today. It is a very simple portrait of a man in his early 40 looking strait.

My goal was to validate what I’ve learned from Vladimir on how to use guiding lines to place facial features properly…

I have being student with the Drawing Academy since October 2014 and I have enjoyed the simple way things are explained. I think that just by watching Vladimir London and seeing how freeing drawing can be, I get inspired to pick up my pen (HB#2) and try…

I am 43 years old, originally from Istanbul and have been living in the US for 20 years.

I have always loved drawing and painting. I remember getting in trouble for drawing under the desk in math class instead of listening to the teacher! Not going to art school has been one of my regrets in life but can’t turn the clock back.

After 15 years in the business world decided to finally leave my day job to “live a life in creative arts”…

I would be very happy to win the online drawing course, because I didn’t attend to any kind of art school or course as I was discouraged by my arts teacher in primary school. Since then I’ve learned everything on my own by infrequent practice.

I draw mostly portraits in pencil. I would like to try something new, but I’m not sure how to start. I don’t have anyone to turn to for professional advice, and I would like to learn more about all the various tools and techniques…
