Drawing by Brian Smedley

Drawing from life to become better at drawing

My name is Brian Smedley and I have been drawing for many years since 6th grade. I formally took art only twice. Once in 6th grade and an oil painting class. The grade school art class planted the seed left to germinate to grow into a wonderful hobby for me. I continue to grow in my drawing skills, learning thru books and videos. I have considered taking classes online at the art institute, but

Will try to win this contest, for the Drawing Academy offers a great curriculum also and would be a blessing to get it offered in such a gratious manner. People should vote for me because I want to advance more in my art and other people the opportunity to look upon my art to give them happy moments and to take away any hurt, even if temporary. That thru my art I can help make the world a better place.
