My baby Adam’s creation

Story and artwork from Satenik Mkrtchyan

I am self-motivated Armenian Artist living in the UK. Love to paint since my childhood. My serious steps towards art were 6 years ago, when I took silver and golden markers and draw an icon of The Virgin Mary and baby Jesus on black paper without drawing faces. Being encouraged by my parents and friends I opened Facebook page, made and published lots of paintings in that style.

The Truth is in the Eyes

Artwork and story from Jelena Polimac

The first thing coming to my mind, when I need to tell about myself, is that I love to draw and paint since I know for myself. Other than that, I lived in many different places, so I like to meet different people and cultures!

Unfortunately, jobs that I did were mostly not in art, but art is always in me and I am searching for every single free moment so I can draw. I like to try all techniques and it is the challenge for me to do my best with any medium.There is always something to learn in art, same like in every other field.

Wrinkles are the scars of time

Story and artwork from Vimal Nair

My name is Vimal Nair, a professional pastry chef with a passion for art.

As a self-taught artist, I find peace and inspiration in life through art and it motivates me to create the pieces I make.

Since I learned most of my artwork with the help of youtube and online platforms, I lack the knowledge of the basics of art and tips to improve my skills.

Good Things Come…

Story and aertwork from Pierce Horvath

Hi, I’m Pierce Horvath. I’m 23 and I am an illustrator, animator, and musician from Chicago, Illinois. Art is everything in my life because I come from a very creative background. My family for generations have been musicians, dating back to when my ancestors lived in Eastern Europe. I play violin, guitar, and sing. My father plays drums but is an electrical engineer/draftsman by occupation. From a very young age, he taught me to draw simple shapes at first and that ignited my passion to create. Deep down, I realized it’s about telling a story through mark making and the overall visuals.

The Color Paradise

Story and artwork by Ragav Palaniswamy

I am Ragav and I currently live in the UAE. I am an Indian. I am a student of Grade 9. Art is everything for me. It relaxes me. I do it when I am stressed, bored or just if I feel like painting or drawing.

I can convey my thoughts through art. I can paint my heart out whenever I want.

Seeing the vibrant colour combination, I fell calm and composed. My challenge in art is the same as for others; Perfection.

Invisible Stories

Story and artwork from Mehmet Dere

I often find it obscene for an artist to talk about himself. It is a strange contradiction for a person who is both a state of affairs to tell yourself about his art using everyday language. I have been dealing with painting for about 20 years.

My Sister Portrait

Artwork and story from Sonya Ghanem, Drawqing Academy student

Since my childhood I was so fascinated with colors and colored pencils. My drawings at school was a bit outstanding from other students. Magazines and illustrations was the point of my interest. I drew film stars and Princess with graphite pencils when I was a teenager, I even drew my mom and sisters and it was almost correct.

I went to painting classes, there I learnt more about different painting materials.

One day, I came across Drawing Academy and realised that it was the course for me.

Faint Pulse

Drawing by Cassandra

Ever since I was young, I was a doodler making odd sketches on the margins of my exercise books during class time. I believed taking the proactive approach of drawing from real life was essential to grow confidence despite little guidance in how to get there.
