Story and artwork from George Galcsik

Loving arts have always been part of my life. I truly believe, that drawing is the foundation of all visual arts and also is my passion. For more than 20 years I’ve seen so many remarkable and respectful artists’ video tutorials, but the thing is, I never ever drawn a single line. This year is different, I have started to draw intensively and I will work hard to be the artist I always wanted to be.

Story and artwork from Adrian Lupu

I began drawing two years ago, with nothing in mind other than an occupation that would give me some comfort and relaxation. In time, as my work has become somehow better, I became interested in art in general, other artists and the criteria of this type of activity. I draw once per day, so at the end of the month I have a pretty high number of drawings, and that helps me analyze the results and improve.

Story and sketch from Ron W.

Growing up, I always had a bit of an adversarial relationship with art – a combination of cheap art supplies, and a lack of structured instruction made me quickly lose interest in “art classes”, and pushed me to focus on other, more rewarding interests and topics. I, like many others, came to believe that the ability to represent the world around me was a talent that I lacked. About ten years ago, an artist I met finally got it through my thick head that art is a set of skills that can be learned like any other. Since then, I have off-and-on, studied and taught myself, learning that while quality materials do not make you a better artist, DO make the experience of making art more enjoyable, and thus make it more likely to want to continue practicing, learning, and creating art.

Story and artwork from Monetta Damure

The ancient Greeks had a word eidos, which means “form” or “idea.” Eidos, in turn, gave rise to the English word eidetic — referring to a mental image that is unusually vivid and detailed.
