Facing the adversity

I’m from Mexico, and I loved to draw since I have memory, I used to draw cartoons more often, but then I got more interested in realism as I grow up, I’m 21 years old now and I am desperately chasing perfection.

I would like to make art my profession, I dreaming to become an excellent painter and also write and illustrate a comic book which is my childhood dream which also I keep daydreaming so often.

Sultan

I’m an Architectural draftsman whose first love is drawing and working as an Expatriate here in Middle East. I know how to draw but not that really good. My life here as a foreign worker is simply revolves around my office and to my tiny bachelor’s room.

Ones I saw a video from Drawing Academy that made me think that I can improve my drawing skills to a professional level. Then I started to do some research, reading articles and watching some video tutorials on YouTube. During this period I saw the progress of my skills, but still I know that there are lots of things to learn and I think I lack basic foundations that’s why some of my work are by luck and no consistency and I’m still hungry for knowledge especially when I started to see some academic drawings done by the old masters from Renaissance period and from Russian and Chinese artist.

Shape of hope

I am a young at heart, a simple soul. The world is what you believe it is. And it’s really just love that makes the world go round. I teach maths and dramatic arts. I am a freelance writer who didn’t fall out of love with words, but I have discovered the magic of paint, the creativity of colour, shapes and tones.

The Drawing Academy sounds like the perfect place to start learning techniques and skills…

The Troubled Artist

My name is Frankie Stockman. I am a mother, wife, painter and Legal office Manager.

Right now I am needing to work to help support our large family and so I try to work on art on the weekends or late at night. If I had it my way, I would be a full time artist.

My favorite part of an art project is the initial drawing. However, I find my challenge is that I have a very hard time drawing and seeing the right perspective in the human face, figure and most architecture. So I always feel that my drawings and paintings are flat and a bit lifeless. I know that if I can learn to see perspective better, my drawings and paintings will come alive!

Make a dream come true!

As a fifty-three-year-old man, I have always had a dream. My dream is the dream of learning to draw, like the masters. As a self-taught artist, I can draw simple and fun works of art, but nothing complicated or technically correct. My dream is to draw properly.

I live in Provo, Utah, USA. I am currently unemployed, and I enjoy drawing in my spare time. I have hopes of one day being an artist who is worthy of working. I love art. I believe that a picture can tell more than a story, and I love art that says something to the beholder. Each picture I draw has a story or meaning behind it…

Learning never exhausts the mind

Hello everyone!

My name is Marina and I’m eighteen years young.

Making art is like breathing to me and it’s definitely what I was meant to do (next to reciting Shakespeare’s works to my dog).

I’ve always been fairly reserved and if taken outside the comfort of my own room, I can easily become the definition of the word ‘anxiety’ itself.
That’s why I experienced great pleasure when finding out about the Drawing Academy.

Heart and Passion

My name is Ronnie, I am 19 years old and I live in Kenya.

For me art is deep in my core and I wish to express myself through it. I began with photography but I realized with that I can only go so far, because not everything I see in my mind can be translated fully through it. I have always been inspired by the renaissance masters, especially Leonardo da Vinci, a man whose work has stood the test of time and is still relevant till today. I want to represent my country and show people that anyone can achieve what their put their heart into, no matter their skill level.

Classical realism is not a lost art

I was a 3d graphics programmer for years before getting into any sort of art – I felt that couldn’t draw, and I wanted to program a machine to do it… when I did start drawing, it was almost a natural evolution of my CGI coding knowledge, because I understand how to create realistic images using lighting/etc…

I drew privately for several years before semi-accidentally falling into a niche of animal portraits for charity – my time is donated for custom animal portraits for auctions and misc. events – this allows me to contribute and provides a unique purpose for each piece..
