Mother and Child
I learned that I could draw and learn to draw in my old age. Drawing is a way to leave the story of my life for future generations.
I want to learn how to draw from my memory and imagination. I tell my story in art.
Drawing Academy would be a great learning resource to me. Because of many issues in my older life, I am unable to get back into normal society. Art can provide this for me. Telling my story in art will be one of the crowing event my life before my sunsets.

Aiming for Surrealism
I’m Kurt Runge, 27, from South Africa. I started drawing from a very early age and have always loved it.
I often find my self captivated by great art and aiming to create pieces that do the same for myself and others. It was only until I came across the sample anatomy videos from Drawing Academy did I realize that this was the perfect place to learn the foundations for illustrating accurately from life and imagination.

Drawing is a base of painting
When I was young, I had classes in a school of art. It was long time ago (about 45 years) and it was a different country – Soviet Union. I did not made my way as a painter, but those lessons of drawing, composition and history of art gave me knowledge, understanding and profound love to fine arts. I did not practice painting, but occasionally did drawings and watercolor works. Just about two years ago I found a lot of classes and lessons on oil painting on YouTube. It is awesome!

I have been an artist ever since I can remember. I attended Mastbaum Vocational High School in Philadelphia where I studied commercial art. After 4 years in the USAF I was employed by General Electric Missile & Space Division in Valley Forge Pa. as a publications specialist. Eventually I was named as Art Director for the Missile & Space Division’s magazine, “Challenge”. After 20 years with GE I owned a restaurant for 20 years. I continued doing freelance art work after I retired. Too busy earning a living I never had time to become proficient in fine art.
Although I am 82 years old I am still active and now have time to learn more in painting. I have done portraits for friends and family but I would like to improve my skills.

A Knight: putting others’ needs first
I am Ekundayo Femi, a beginner self-taught artist & an aspiring 3D Animator from a remote town in the South-Western part of Nigeria.
I was so obsessed with ART as a kid when 2D Animation & Newspaper Cartoons were still the norm of the day. I could remember, I drew a portrait which I was so proud of regardless how it turned out.
With time, artist blocks set in, forcing me to believe only the talented could do it right; until a year ago when I read a blog post which addressed this issue & also revived the artist in me.

Trying to find my niche!
Life moves fast. One moment I was in high school not realizing the opportunities and meaning of pursuing my dream. The next thing I knew, I was a mom of a 20-year-old son, a ranch wife and a business owner. As life would have it, I had the opportunity to take a single drawing class at a local college and the spark that had once been lit was once again on fire! I feel I have something to say or show and my skills are not yet honed enough to express myself as I want! I would like to leave a legacy – something that means something to someone.
