Portrait of a little young lady
Artwork by Emmanuel
Hello everybody,
My name is Emmanuel.
This is my third time participation in this great contest, so this time I wanted to show something different of a pure drawing. This time I wanted to show something more colorful such as a painting.
This portrait is made after Edouard Cabane, a French artist of late 19 early 20 century. He was a student of the very well known great artist W A Bouguereau…
Teaching art to children
Questions from Sarah Poole
I want to join the Drawing Academy, to brush up on my art skills, before I accept a job at an international school. Next fall, I will be teaching art to children ages six to high school age.
I have a BFA from 20 years ago. I fall into the category of having been to art school, but never was taught how to draw. However, accepting this new job, I must learn to do so. I feel I want to, and that I should, thus I plan to dive into your course with a new teacher’s eye. I hope to add to my incomplete art training. I can’t wait!
I have a question. Can your lessons be adapted for younger children? Do you think the basic lessons would be too technical? I want to pass this great foundational knowledge to my students.
Cheers!
Sarah Poole

Life Animation Frame by Frame
Artwork by Robert Pettigrew
I’m a classical animator who learned life drawing through the discipline of animation. I enjoy the complexity of the human figure and all life for that matter.
Capturing life and channeling it into a drawing or sketch is the magic I gravitate to in all art. ..
Keeping the balance
Artwork by M. Manolache
Whenever I dedicate time to art, it seems to me that life is more colourful. Also whenever I spend too much time doing it, things start to lose colour. I thought that one day when I have all the time in the world I may do more creative work. But that time never comes.

How to find time for drawing
Question from Remy
Hello,
I am curious about these courses. The video, which mentions that drawing from photos is not the best way to learn, is fascinating. But at the same time, I do not understand how your courses offer a solid training that is not based on drawing from two-dimensional examples?
I have an extremely busy life, yet I am dedicated to learning how to draw. I only have time to draw very late at night, when everyone is sleeping. It is very difficult to access some of the things I actually want to learn how to draw (like people and faces)…
Congratulations to our guest writer!
