Story and artwork from Mike SanDiego

Greetings to Everyone!

I have been seeking my future in art for many years, and after almost two decades of hard work I have found myself in a challenging situation, as many others have, and faced with choices to either sink or swim. I chose to swim, and do the utmost I can to stay afloat. Art may seem like a difficult choice to make a career from, but for me this is a passion that I must turn from dream into reality. Even in the midst of the pandemic, with all the challenges it brings, I refuse to give up.

Story and artwork from Edison Toapanta

My name is Edison Toapanta. I am participating in this competition to become a great artist and make drawing my way of life.

My purpose in wanting to be an artist is to be able to live from art, specifically from drawing because it is the only activity that I really enjoy, because it gives me a reason to think that I can also be incredible and move people with my work, well because makes my heart beat with great emotion. So I think it takes the second place among the most precious things for me after my family, after all it is what I want to dedicate my entire life to.

Story and artwork from Anagha B.

Hello everyone, I am a student from India. I don’t know where to start or how to start. Here in India there are many art teachers and students who would teach them to draw during there vacations. Indian thinks that art can’t be taken as a profession and its not given much due attention. In my case that was what happened. My parents let me to study drawing for 2 months when I was in 4th standard and after that I couldn’t continue my studies. There where lot of family problems and pressure that I can’t in my dreams too can’t take drawing as my profession. As I grew up my craving for art and drawing increased. I would search in Youtube for videos as I can’t afford to pay for my art classes.

Hello Everybody!

When I have seen your different website, I have a truly crush about your learning. I feel that you way to learn correspond me! I am on a crossroad about my life and I prepare to move in an another country (I cross the finger very strong for that) and hence, I can’t engage myself in a fine-arts training.

Story and artwork from Bhavnagar Srivastava

I remember drawing sceneries, birds and trees as far as my memory goes. From drawing on the paper covers of garment boxes to painting on canvases, I have enjoyed art in my leisure, exhaustion, lumber and worry. I have never taken any professional guidance, a need I never realised till I stumbled upon the videos of Drawing Academy.

Story and artwork from Camilo Torres

It is said that drawing is the magic of assertively representing the contrast between light and darkness on a surface, well, I want to be able to do this and much more. I want to be able to represent the beautiful world that surrounds me with all its contrasts and feelings, without the technique stopping me. I want to draw joy, loneliness, sadness, love, life, death … I want to talk through drawing, and I would love to start now.

Story and artwork from Rebecca Newberry

I’ve been dabbling in art (mostly painting) since I was young. To be honest, I was never very good. Just a few years ago I started getting back into art but taking it seriously this time. I got an assortment of art books and started trying to learn as fast as I could. I can’t learn fast enough now.
