Hello,
My name is Amber. I started to learn how to draw recently. I did not learn art since childhood nor did I draw for very long. My degree and my work are unrelated to art but I enjoyed drawing and I want to become a professional artist.
Hello,
Thank you for your time. I’m experiencing some problems with rendering my drawings. I feel like I’ve got a handle on the likeness etc. but the rendering is leaving me frustrated. I can’t seem to get the hang of hatching and cross hatching. As you see in my picture it looks too rough and crude. When I blend it looks better to me. However, I know from your course that graphite should not be blended. How to fix this problem?
Thank you.
Dear Molly,
Thank you very much for your wonderful drawing.
Before rendering an artwork…
I have been an artist for most of my life.
I am currently working on writing and illustrating for books.
I completed the Drawing Academy course with great pleasure and admiration.
Western art was developed differently compared to the art in China. In China, calligraphy and painting were evolved together, therefore combining their painting, graphic arts, literature, and poetry in a way that did not happen in Europe. There are a few things to note on how they differ.
I have been drawing since I was little and I’ve always had a passion for it. Art is something I want to pursue as a career but it’s hard for me to seek out how to advance in my art by myself. I want to learn how to draw from my mind and create characters that are proportional so that I can one day create a comic and perhaps start animating.
My name is Magno, I am Brazilian and I am 48 years old. I am applying for a scholarship at Drawing Academy to improve my technique and finally carry out my life mission which is to express myself and live through my art. The following drawing is a study made using graphite of a work by the artist John Lawn.
I have been drawing/painting for over 60 years. The one thing that has always driven me is the idea that there is something else to learn about art.
My name is Hailee,
and all of my life I have loved to draw.
