The Yak tailgating
I’m 68 years young and trying to improve drawing skills that seemed to faded over the years. Would love to be able to improve to draw my grand kids, two adorable little girls!

Sharmila’s Art
I am an artist, forever in a quest to learn more from others, discover more of what I can do myself and share further what I know. I believe that artists great or small were never made by their own learning alone, but a cumulative effect of interacting with fellow artists and their own take on things that they discovered in the wondrous world around them.
How to draw accurate proportions when figure drawing
Question from Aileen
Hello,
I find it quite difficult to get my proportions right when figure drawing.
When I’m working on a portrait of just the face it’s fine but once I begin to work on the body everything gets a bit distorted.
How can I find a way to easily get the right proportions for the body?
How to study drawing the right way?
Question from Maria
Hello, Drawing Academy!
I’ve been a silent fan of yours for a while through some of the free videos you distribute on YouTube. I’ve been drawing for half a decade now and at this point, it feels like every day just gnaws at me. I actively hide my old art in boxes and even rip it up at times because there is no progress. It feels absurd.
I try to draw smarter and learn concepts, but no matter what I do, there seems to be a wall between what is being said and how to process what the instructor is doing. Why? Why can’t I understand how to draw a rotating box? Why can’t I understand how to draw from life? Why can’t I learn how to keep proportions right when drawing a subject from different angles? Why do perspective and anatomy fly out the window of my drawings if I draw a pose that’s not someone standing straight?
Online Art Courses – Where should I start?
Question from Belinda
“I have looked at the Web Art Academy, Drawing Academy and Old Masters Academy. As a self-taught aspiring artist, where should I start? With a limited budget, if I can afford only one course, which would be most comprehensive?”

Drawing Academy review by Meha Kiran
Best sketching practices
I was recommended this course by my friend Pragya Bhatnagar. Once I started watching Drawing Academy video lessons, it became apparent how useful the lessons were and how effortless the drawing becomes if you follow them honestly with passion.
Sketching faces has been my passion for a long time, and I could copy faces well. But there was no finesse in that. It was disorganised and I only strove for resemblance which did not come for me. But since I saw the drawing academy videos I understood what my drawing lacked. There was too much emphasis on resemblance without having the basic underlying structure.
