Drawing Academy Art Competition

Drawing Academy represents discipline, rigour, and true artistic education. Its commitment to classical foundations and serious learning aligns deeply with my desire to understand drawing honestly and thoroughly. Winning this scholarship would be transformative. It would provide the training I have never had and allow me to connect personal healing through art with my professional commitment to creative health, ultimately supporting the wellbeing of patients, carers, and communities.

I think Drawing Academy is a solid platform you can learn some foundation classes which is can help me achieve my goals. In my opinion people who vote for me because they inspired my story and like my drawings types.

I love drawing, but recently, after watching this video https://lifedrawing.academy/life-drawing-academy-news/how-to-self-assess-your-drawing-skills I realised that my skills are not as good as I thought. I lack many skills, for example how to measure proportions from life, how to construct objects from any angle and eye level, how to put objects in relation to one another. I also find it difficult to foreshorten in extreme angles. What I also want to learn is how to apply light and shadow.

When I discovered the Drawing Academy I was so excited to learn that there is a school that offers classical art skills to enable anyone to understand art in its fullest form. I have completed the free drawing videos and desire to do the complete art course. I think it is the best school available thus far to my knowledge. I made small paintings of birds to sell to be able to afford the lifetime art course, however the paintings have not yet been sold.

This year, I finally realized that the most essential step to improve my artistic skills is to study academic drawing. In this sense, I believe that the Drawing Academy represents a truly valuable opportunity, due to the seriousness of its methodology and the high quality of its instruction, to build a solid and consistent foundation.

I do not believe that my current drawings demonstrate the technical skill or quality that would, by themselves, justify a vote. However, if people see in them sincerity, dedication, and a genuine desire to learn and grow, I would be deeply grateful for this opportunity. Winning this course would mean not only improving my skills, but also giving new meaning to a passion I have cultivated for many years.

Artwork and story from Johnny Moore

I’m a self-taught visionary painter who came to art the way some people come to breathwork – out of necessity, not ambition. For most of my life, I carried the quiet weight of neurodivergence and PTSD, and I discovered that creating images became the one place where my mind settled, and my nervous system softened. Painting isn’t a hobby or a side passion for me; it’s the tool that helps me stay connected to the world, and the language I use when ordinary language fails.

Drawing Academy is an amazing institution of art. With that goes my reason for wanting to win the course. I want to advance further in art guided by professionals since I never had a chance to attend an art school.

Artwork and story from Parvinder

I have a different perspective on life. I am inclined to the artistic passions deeply and I create the art in fields of writing, poetry, painting and music. As being an avid follower of art, I try to show my emotions with help of my art. Also, I experiment with various kinds of mediums (specifically in drawing and painting), for example, shading, painting in acrylics and watercolour). I won’t say that I am an artist because still I am in the learning phase and trying out my creativity.

Artwork and story from Natalia Samarina

My name is Natalia Samarina, a Fine Art Artist based in West Sussex, UK. Art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I found joy in drawing, sewing, cooking, and inventing new things. Creativity has always been the language through which I understood the world.
