I want to draw from imagination

Artwork and story from Claudia Fox

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.

Lovely girl

Artwork and story from Suann Li

I am not an artist from early life, but I really enjoy art, especially paintings. So I took several art classes from your online courses. Recently I have seen Fechin’s paintings, especially his portraits, and I really like the color of the skin he painted. That kind of pink and bright feeling is very pleasing, so I also want to try to paint it.

My journey with academic drawing

Artwork and story from Asmaa Abuhadid

I started drawing 15 years ago, when I was in the ninth grade, I used to draw anime and my favorite characters, but in university I used to draw portraits using squares only, after that I stopped drawing for a while, and started academic drawing in 2021, and I stayed at the Art Institute for two years, but I only learned to draw still life with pencil and oil colors, and how to draw pictures on canvas, but I never learned portraiture in an academic way, and now I am very interested in drawing portraits and bodies and I have difficulty drawing them even though my level in oil painting is advanced.

My name is Suann Li. I have been to many countries, am fascinated by their architectures. I really really enjoy art, especially oil parings. When visiting India, I was so surprised that their architectures are so special, so fine, so different from western styles, so many Precious Stones, so complicated that you hard to find similar ones other where in the world. I have such a strong desire to draw them down.

Unveiling my journey

Artwork and story from Júlia Arden

My Story:

Art has become more than a passion for me—it’s a way of understanding the world and expressing the emotions that words can’t capture. My journey began after being inspired by a powerful painting I saw at my university, when learning to become a Special Needs Educator and Therapist in 2021. Since then, drawing has become my way of exploring vulnerability, strength, and connection.

The piece I am entering, Unveiled, represents my evolving perspective as an artist.
