I am an amateur artist recently retired. I have been painting on and off over the past several years. I really would like to improve my drawing skills thus far I usually use a grid to get my drawing on paper. I would love to be able to draw freehand without the grid.
Hello. I’m Onur Fidan from Turkey. I’ve always had desire for art since I was a child. Art is like a gate of another world for me.
I’ve been drawing since I was 6 years old. I have never received any formal training. I have a full time job and drawing is now a hobby for me. I do it at night time and on the weekends when I have time.
Hello I am Sahar, I always dreamed about studying art and learning drawing, but instead I had to choose graphic design as a major to be able to find a job and be financially secure. Now after graduating and finding a job I don’t feel the fulfillment and the joy and my soul is starving for art.
I immerse myself in painting. It make me collect my thoughts and calm myself.
Hello everyone,
I am Mahathi. I am learning art through YouTube videos. Recently I got a little bit hang on portrait drawing, of course, after a lot of practice. I want to be an illustrator and concept artist. I set myself a goal that I should be able to get the hang of human body within a span of 2 years.
I spent thousands of dollars trying to get an art education but I was not taught even the most elementary skills. I have been drawing for more than 50 years and developed most of my drawing skills on my own because my formal education was inadequate. I knew I needed more solid instruction so I was very pleased when I found the Drawing Academy.
I live in London and at an early age I was drawn to the arts in particular crafts and performance. I loved the feeling of creating something whether it was music, stories or art and I spent lots of my time practicing these disciplines. Since it was craft including sculpture, sewing which I enjoyed the most, my drawing skills got severely left behind and I would rarely practice it.
I am Vanessa Mah from Malaysia. I love art and like to draw and paint since I was little. I think this is because I love nature. I enjoy sitting outside watching the trees, the flowers, the birds, the sky etc. and I see art everywhere and everything in life is an artwork for me.
