My mother always told me life starts at 50, and I believe that’s true. As I’ve gotten older, I am realizing how short life is, so I’m beginning to do the things that bring me the most happiness.
After lying dormant for over 50 years, my need to create has awakened! Painting and sculpting have become my joy! …
Hello Vladimir and Natalie,
I have recently subscribed to your excellent course and I have learnt a great deal so far.
Ever since I was young I did some form of drawing/sketching, and it was all self-taught. The last time I did any drawing was about 37 years ago!
Recently, for some reason, my interest in art was re-awakened and your website “lit my motivational fire,” so to speak. As the saying goes, “when the student is ready the teacher will arrive;” and here you are, to whom I have gladly subscribed! …
I was wondering which aspect is more important while sketching: quantity or quality. I often hear people say that, when learning how to draw, practice is the only surefire way. I completely agree, but I have noticed a few variations on what is expected to be achieved from a practice sketch.
The sketches found in Drawing Academy look, at least to me, like quality ones with clean lines, accurate proportions, and marvelous shading. On the other hand, when I look at the sketches of certain Old Masters, especially Rembrandt’s, they seem to be done rapidly with an emphasis on style, but appear to be slightly lacking in proportion and crispness…
I am a self taught artist, I learned by reading art books. This drawing was my first attempt of using colored pencils.
I recently enrolled in the Drawing Academy course hope that it will inspire me to do more…
I studied art and design and went down the art route..as you say in your video…many are taught how to be creative but not the fundamentals….It is soooo true!! We had life drawing and still…
“How do we measure with a pencil the objects that we see in Drawing Academy videos?”
I want to know how to copy the Victorian urn from video lesson 4.
Many thanks,
Richard
