Two Hermits by Subrata Chatterjee
I am Subrata Chatterjee from West Bengal, India. After completing my B.A, I completed B.F.A (Painting) with First Class from I.K.S.V. in 2004. Now I am a full time artist and an illustrator of Kolkata Books.
Art is my alter ego. I roam in the world of it, with it and finally try to reach its core of endless beauty.

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.

Innkira Art Drawing
I’m Innkira, this is my art-name.
I used to love art since I was a little girl; unfortunately, in my country I couldn’t draw that much, but my passion for art is growing day by day. I’m curious and always thirsty for art.
As a little child I used to go to an abandoned house nearby. When I entered that house for the first time, I remember that I took some white papers hung them on the wall and, with help of my imagination, I saw myself as an artist at his first gallery. It was the best moment in my life. I used to dream about living that day in reality after studying art at a real academy.

My dream
Hello, I am 69 years old and I always had a burning desire to draw. I was drawing circles, cups, and crazy items without even realizing I was doing it, especially when I used to work. My co-workers told me “not bad” and I would get embarrassed.
Now that I have retired, I find myself drawing a lot! Mostly portrait art and I come very close to a person I am drawing (so they say) and I love it.

I wanted to become an artist to make composite police sketches to portraits to better identify the criminals. I have a stroke and started drawing again as time healed me.
Drawing makes me feel good and to learn how other artists create artworks, I went to an art school. My challenges in drawing is shading and blending and getting proportions right; after 17 years I still can’t eye ball it.
Drawing Academy is a great place for a beginning artist to pick up some good tips.

Kari Contemplating Life
I am a seventy-six year old woman who lives in the country surrounded by beautiful mountains.
I have had no formal art training. I am self taught in many mediums but my favorite would have to be water colors. I have been painting with different mediums for over 40 years. Paintings as small as a 2 inch square and as large as a wall. Some were sold but most were given to family members and close friends.

To Continue My Learning Journey :)
Hello everyone,
I love to draw but I lack some skills and knowledge od drawing principles that I would like to learn. I have been trying to improve my drawing for the past two years through self-learning but have not improved much.
So, I decided to learn art and drawing online and found DrawingAcademy.com to be a very helpful website!
Artwork by Laurent Cito Reboul
Painting for my life!
My name is Laurent Reboul and I’m 56 years old. I’ve lived in the San Francisco bay area my whole life.
Although I’ve been more of a musician most of my adult life, I do love to draw and paint every chance I can. I’ve settled for digital art as it allows me to access more tools and references. I’ve gotten to the point now where I would like to get beyond my now, stagnant, level. My dream is to paint on big Canvases with oils, but I need to learn a lot more, to say the least!
