My name is Tonya Allen, I am a single mother of four.
I would say that art has always took a place in my heart, as a child I wanted to be a fashion designer, then in my teen years I wanted to be model and fashion designer, then as an early adult I wanted to study graphic design.
Things that I want to learn in art is how to make some of my picture look more real and 3D.
I think that Drawing Academy is a great resource that help artist become more develop in their craft.
I’m Samin Mousavi.
I was brought up in one of the nice countries called Iran/Tehran , I’m 27 years old and I studied Masters of comparative literature at a top university in Tehran. As far back as I recall I have always dreamed of being a great and famous artist specially in painting so I stared learning from young age.
I am an artist between worlds. Art is what transports me through my experience here in this life, I would like to USE art as a teacher, i wish only to perfect technique as much as possible then go further.
I feel the Drawing Academy is the right step for me to advance as i love the classics and the advice within the tutorial I’ve seen is perfect for me. I would like to win the course as i have the perfect time for it right now and would embrace it fully and IT alone.
My name is Mazen. I’am 21 y.o. and I’am from Egypt. I started drawing since I was. I didn’t take any art practice, but I like Drawing Academy videos and I benefit from it.
My challenge in art is perspective. I want to learn in art everything.
I think Drawing Academy is the best website to learn drawing in easy and fast way.
I started drawing in January 2017 at the age of 49 years old. I did art at school until I was 13 and was reintroduced to it during a watercolour mindfulness class.
The therapeutic effects of the session were enough to spark my interest in painting and from there I moved to colour pencils and pastel pencils. I work in a school and am surrounded by incredibly gifted pupils and teachers who inspire me every day.
I thoroughly enjoy drawing and the pleasure it gives me and the people I give the pictures to is enormous! Drawing for others is a wonderful way to bring happiness and I currently do my drawings for friends and charity. I draw at every possible moment of my leisure time and have even persuaded my young children that this is a great way to spend our down time.
My name is Tori. I’m a freshman in High School. I’m the keyboardist of a psychedelic rock band, the sister of my best friend, a dreamer… and a few years ago I discovered art.
Art takes up every aspect of my life. Though I have other hobbies, such as music and writing, art is what I’m most passionate about. I want to become an art college professor when I grow up and study Graphic Design and Intermedia at an art college. In order to do this I must strengthen my skills as much as possible.
Hello, I am Dorothée. I am housewife and Mother of three children. I always loved drawing, but thought I was not good and not gifted. Only recently I realized that drawing can actually be learnt and I try to learn all I can.
I love drawing portraits in pencil, but I challenge myself with paints and colors. This is a watercolor portrait of my daughter, who will turn 18 in a month. I’d love to be able to paint an oil portrait of her.
The videos of the Drawing Academy I have been watching are very well presented and complete. I have not really used proportion techniques for the face as I used a picture for that painting, but for other works I did and it really helps to look at subjects differently…
I grew up on the prairie and my love of the land, particularly prairie land, remains with me. I went to college in Chicago, and those years convinced me that I belonged where there are wide open spaces. Having moved to the Kansas City area, I spent 30+ years in the corporate world and did commissioned portrait work during those years. I retired several years ago to produce paintings and drawings professionally. I teach and sell art from First Art Gallery of Olathe, am President of the MidAmerica Pastel Society (MAPS), and a member of Missouri Valley Impressionist Society (MVIS), and National Oil and Acrylic Painters (NOAP)…
I am a 69 year old wife, mother, granddmother, and great-grandmother. I am a retired Doctor of Psychology. I am finally able to create as I used to do when I was younger. There is time, now, where there wasn’t before.
Art has always been a part of my life. Sometimes it was on the back burner; however I always found ways to incorporate some creativity into my daily lie. Even when it was “on the back burner” it was simmering in me looking for an outlet.
Well, I’m Chantal, French and retired from teaching English. I now have some spare time and spend quite a lot of it trying to get better at drawing and painting watercolour. I’m a hard worker, so that I study, read, practice, etc..
My challenge is to become an accomplished artist. I’d like to be able to draw and paint any subject. I’m especially fond of portraits, but I can still progress and I love painting city scenes and landscapes, to which I nearly always integrate people.
From the demos and explanations I’ve read, I think the Drawing Academy is exactly the tool that might be useful to help me become a better painter…
