I am David Davies, I am a lover of arts and also a work of art. I don’t see art as a passion nor as a profession, I see it as Life, I call it “the world beyond”. It has always been a dream since childhood to speak without uttering a word, and go places without leaving my room, and this path I have been walking, but I have always noticed that there was something missing, something I couldn’t or wasn’t able to get all by myself, and that is the act of getting it right!
Hello, My name is Seerat Mand. I am a bachelors student of first year and pursuing my humanities. I won’t say that I had always been fascinated towards arts or it was my hobby because that’s not true. Actually, I evinced interest in art when I was in ninth grade and at that time I came to know from the internet, which was newly installed in our house that people out there are so talented and are making unbelievable realistic artworks, at that time I decided to start learning art with all my sources and sincere efforts. As Che Guevera said that if you wont get something until you are ready to die for it, in the same way I am ready to stake my life to achieve my goal in art.
Hi,
I recently discovered a Russian book called “Основы учебного академического рисунка.” Although I don’t speak Russian, I really like studying from it.
Can you give any advice on how to study from a book? Is just copying the drawings enough?
Do you believe that it is better to start from the beginning of the book or to study the things you are interested in?
I am working on faces and portraits.
My name is Ftoon. Drawing for me is the window to my soul. It is my way of expressing myself.
My challenge with drawing is that I’m not very good at drawing faces and realistic things.
I have been drawing since I was two years old. I have away love art. Now I make it my living. Art is my whole life.
I have drawn and painted all my life, but I spent ten years working in a furniture factory, twenty years as a mechanical engineer, and ten years as owner of a stained glass shop.
I am an untrained artist who recently discovered that I do have the potential to become better in the craft. I truly enjoy doing art.
I always drew when I was younger but stopped when I married. I had a senior post in a responsible job, was confident and independent but gave this up when I remarried to become a full time carer for my youngest son born with disabilities. Over time I felt myself eroding like a ghost. 30 years later needing to do something for myself I tried drawing again and found I couldn’t. The fact that my attempts were ridiculed spurred me on to persist and I realised there’s so much to learn.
I made a first attempt at the still life and it was quite challenging, especially the bowl. It seems I can’t quite make ovals!
I hope it is satisfactory for our purposes. I must do more of these.
