I'm 58 years old have been drawing since 5. Self taught in watercolor and pastel. Have been practicing with various techniques over the years. Stopped drawing for 30 years or so just started back 4 years ago, I think I'm getting the hang of it again.
For me art is my therapy of sorts I go to another place my mind sharpens and focuses like a high almost especially if it turns out ok.
I have been drawing since I was a child. It was an instinctive thing, something I did without thinking like breathing. But I never thought about becoming an artist and no one ever told me I was good. Somewhere along the way I lost touch with that part of me and I didn't draw for years.
Now I am trying to get back into art and Drawing Academy course would be the very thing to help me with that.
I'm Rajnesh from India, I'm doing diploma in painting. Art plays a special role in life not only for me but all the artists around the word, it makes us see thing in different perspective and open our minds and soul.
I wish to make great artworks, but my human anatomy knowledge is weak and hope to win the Drawing Academy course to learn this topic.
I have been drawn to beautiful art - drawings, paintings, colorful pictures, thoughtful flower arrangements or eye-catching patterns everywhere - since childhood. I knew since then I want to learn to draw and/or paint well.
I try to draw something everyday. Mostly I am interested in drawing portraits, faces and figures, or would simply doodle geometric shapes if time is limited. Over the last 15 years or so I have invested a lot of money in online art programs and books, and I am still learning from these.
My name is Jenga, and I paint because I wake up with the urge to create, to record moments in my life journey. My art is my conversation with the world. It tells the story of who I am, and where I am both mentally and emotionally. It is also my way of getting out there and seeing the world. Every piece that finds a new home is some place I've never been, but a small part of me now resides there. Art enables me to meet new people with the same interests and share my story, I find that comforting in a way.
Hello, I'm Hiba. Since my childhood, I have a problem of getting friends easily, so drawing was my window to the world.
My challenge in drawing is how to use color. I also want to learn how to do draw digitally.
I think that the Drawing Academy course is a great way for me to improve my drawing skills. That is why I would like to win this course.
Art is my passion. I am interested in all aspects of art and drawing is the foundation to most disciplines of art.
My best art teacher was trained in Moscow and I have come to respect the rigour and strong discipline of the Russian art training.
The Drawing Academy appears to be founded in such an institution and this is the reason I want to learn from the Academy. While I have considerable skills in drawing, I feel I need a refresher in training as it has been more than 20 years since I was taught by my Russian art teacher. Even in university, I have not had the basic skills taught in such detail and to be honest, a lot of art students majoring in art lack basic drawing skills.
To win the Drawing Academy course, is a great opportunity for me to learn the principles and discipline of the masters; the classical-timeless way that I always dream of. I believe it can help me to "effectively" express my passion in an artistic manner. Knowing the techniques will help and guide me in the right direction to create with efficiency and cuts frustration and stress from constant trial and error in the process of drawing.
Hello,
I am 52 and have just begun (6 years?) to do art after taking an icon painting workshop. I am not married and work now in the field of physical therapy, but I work very long hours to make ends meet. Many people have told me I have talent, and the desire to make art has grown to the point where I believe it is a calling.
I have been drawing since I can remember. Art has always been a passion for me, helping me through depression, giving me a sense of worth. Art is journey for the more I learn about my self and life, the more it reflects in my art. I studied art in secondary school then I Graphic Design in college. I found graphic design unfulfilling. So I decided to quit and to do freelance art, though people generally like my work I feel I could be better, I have lots of ideas but they are limited because I can't execute them. In the last few months I have decided to push myself, but i feel like I need guidance from a teacher.
