Nefitlabata is a Portuguese word for “dreamer, or someone who lives in their imagination”. I am autistic (high functioning) so this an apt a title as I can conjure.
Aside from the art aspect, I am a former drug addict turned athlete and am attending to school to secure a better future beyond construction. God blessed me with a gift I need to cultivate and grow the right way.
Art is eternal and born with mankind, god has inculcated different forms of art not only in humans but also in animals which mesmerizes us humans. There is no question about how humans have learned from nature, the different forms of art. If I am talking about myself, I was eager to draw something on paper at an early age, the pictures in the newspapers, magazines and of course my school books always inspired me to draw, that was my beginning of drawing as an art.
My name is Dipto Dev Nath From Bangladesh, and art has always been more than just a hobby — it’s a core part of how I express and understand the world. Since I was young, I’ve been drawn to creating. Whether it’s sketching from life, experimenting with styles, or just letting my imagination take over, art is where I find both peace and purpose.
I won the Drawing Academy course one month ago…
My name is Suann li, really enjoy traveling around the world. One summer I went to Istanbul, Turkey, caught this moment.
I’ve been drawing for quite a few years now as a child up till now, however I’ve not really paid attention to the theory of art much, and a lot of my drawing skills are based from observations and references. In the early years I began drawing using the basic paper and pen, however a couple years ago, I really got back into drawing again. This is when I discovered digital art and thought it was amazing so I bought myself a graphics tablet, which is what I’m currently mainly using. Although I do like to go back to traditional every now and again.
As someone who has always been passionate about art, I enrolled in the Drawing Academy to systematically improve my skills from foundational sketches to color mastery. My goal is to create visual narratives that capture life’s beauty and eventually inspire my children to embrace art.
I enrolled in the Drawing Academy course because I wanted to learn to draw and learn the proper techniques of drawing. I found that this course provides very clear and precise instructions and demos so I can go back to it anytime I need for clarifications.

The Drawing Academy course has been an incredible journey for developing foundational drawing skills. From the start, the course laid a solid foundation in using different tolls for drawing ie pencils, eraser, and other material used for sketching, offering easy-to-follow techniques that helped build confidence in my abilities. The lessons on perspective were particularly insightful, teaching me how to capture depth and dimension in my work, which significantly improved the realism of my drawings.
