Story and artwork from Taha Ragheed

I am a medical student who spent most of his life living from struggle to another. My childhood was raised in the boundaries of war and uncertainty, which lead me to travel the world and experience living in many different ways. And throughout my journey in this life, art and music has always created a place of calm and awe. The craftmanship and discipline of an artist is nothing but breathtaking, the methods they used, the patience they had and the vision they have captured within the frame of realty is a blessing to humankind.

My name is Abenezer Mengistu. I am from Gondar Ethiopia. I studied art at Abissinia fine art and vocational training institute In Addis Ababa.

Artwork by Julia Jones

Hello. My name is Julia Jones. Drawing has been a necessary part of my life for as long as I’ve been alive! I started coping pictures from a small Hummel book at age six, and adding watercolors and oils to them in high school. I sold a few and it was full speed ahead! I love drawing everything I see, challenging me to capture a likeness while developing my own style. I love teaching others to do the same.

Hi, I’m Cristian Aceto from Italy, I practice drawing as an autodidactic since I was 3. I saw lots of videos of Drawing Academy and I found them very useful.

Story and artwork from Jos Melmoth

The plastic arts, above all drawing, I have always experienced as a vital necessity. For this reason, when I finished high school, I entered the art school in my city.
