I am the son of an Air Force veteran. We traveled all over during the time my Dad served, visiting much of the country and other countries. During that time I had the opportunity to see much and do much. As a young artist I was able to draw and paint many different subjects.
I am a wildlife artist based in Ho Chi Minh City. After being a boat refugee from Vietnam, I went to France and studied for 16 years before returning to my country.
I am a middle aged lady who has prayed to learn how to draw properly since I was 12…
Have been on this earth for 56 yrs., and have been in awe by all the colors and beauty that abounds it ever since I can remember. Am a doctor by profession, never could pursue art seriously, never had the time.
Precious Anih is the birth name, weird zesty is what Art calls me. Art is for me a means of communication with the supernatural. I commune with God through the realms of hue, shapes and values. I am a Christian incase you’re wondering.
Hey guys,
I’m Amandeep Kaur. I’m interested in art because this is my hobby. As for an artist the art is very important for me. I can’t let it go back because of my other things. Art is a gift from God and I respect it. Art subjects encourage self-expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity. Studying art subjects also helps to develop critical thinking and the ability to interpret the world around us.
Hi Vladimir,
I used Mars Lumograph HB and 2B graphite pencils on Canson 9×12 65 lb Universal Sketch Artist Series 1557 paper for this project. I used a reference photo that I took of “David” while visiting Florence’s Museum Academie.
Before I started this project, I studied your drawing of Thalia and other lessons on Drawing Academy to learn the different techniques, such as drawing the features, tonal values, cross hatching and of course how to draw a portrait. These are of immense help to me.
I am a retired actuary; spent my business life focused on analytics. I carried a sketch pad and pencils everywhere I traveled. On a trip a few years ago, I tossed the year end issue of Time magazine into my briefcase. The Ebola doctors who worked tirelessly in Africa to control the disease were collectively Time’s Person of the Year.
I’m a new/emerging artist in Calgary, AB, Canada.
One of the challenges I face with my drawing is drawing without a reference. I’d like to learn more skills that will help me express my ideas without using photo references.
My name is Bipin Shrestha and I am from Kathmandu, Nepal.
I am a freelance graphic designer/Illustrator. For me, art plays a major role as it is the medium that I interact the most during the day, whether in the form of comics or by drawing.
