Using my skills to encourage others

Story and artwork from JS Williams

For me art has been a part of my life even as a child, both of my grandparents were artistic. I myself didn’t spend a lot of time, until I had my accident. I enjoy realistic and progression styles of paintings and drawing. I believe my proportion and similarities are my biggest two problems.

Diamond from charcoal

Story and artwork from R.Niha

Hey!

My name is Niha. I love pencil drawing since the age of 8. I started drawing when I got sick during a vacation and that was when I discovered that I’ve got a talent for drawing. I gradually improved my drawing skills and now I have started a small business on it (portrait drawing). Art is one of the most important thing in my life and its hard for me to imagine living without it.

Story and artwork from Lavender

I’m an Art Lover. For me, Art is like my dearest friend, with whom I have spent most of the time as a child. I always used to draw and play with colors, people admired my art, but I was not good at drawing. With an accurate drawing, the painting will be more apparent, as drawing is like a foundation.

Little Mona Lisa

Story and artwork from Beata Drazek

I am a mother and a grandmother living life rich is diverse experiences; a journey of joys and sorrows. Art has always had a place in my life, in its many different forms. As a proclaimed ‘party pooper’, I was much more eager to spend my time in a gallery or a museum than a rowdy group of people.

Artist’s Mannequin, a Useful Reference Tool?

Question from Emily, Drawing Academy student

Hello.

I have been having a lot of trouble lately with drawing figures in different positions and at different angles. I’ve attempted many times to depict figures in a scene from imagination, and almost every time I have had to erase and re-work an area multiple times and still not have the angles or details correct. I have practiced drawing human figures and am able to depict them with overall accuracy, but unless I have a clear reference for a particular pose, it seems that I just can’t visualize the lines for drawing it. I would like to become more proficient in drawing figures from imagination, but in the meantime, I have been considering getting an artist’s mannequin to use for a reference. Are these a good tool to use? Or is there a better means for drawing figures accurately?

Thanks!
Emily
