Hi there!
Since I started the Drawing Academy, I definitely can see some improvement in my drawing skills. I’m focussing on portraits at the moment. Since I don’t have the opportunity to use live models, i’m using photo’s as a reference.
The beginning of a story
Story and artwork from Wenshu He
Hi! I am Wenshu He.
Art has always been a big part of my life. I started calligraphy and drawing when I was five years old. As a teenager, I had the chance to learn the systematic drawing method, but I did not take it seriously at the time. My major in university was AD design. Now, I want to learn human body structure, the golden ratio in characters and landscapes, and so on.

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.
I really wanna make it happen!

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.
