I am a 46 year old full time administrative assistant and part-time lover of art.
I long to create art while I am sitting at my desk working and think about it all of the time. I get home, take care of the family and it seems art always takes a back seat. Well, I say no more. I want my dream to become a reality of being able to create…
People say and I also feel that I’m creative. I have many ideas for drawing and painting, but sometimes it’s difficult to implement. I need to learn how to paint and draw, so it would help to become a better artist and fully express myself in art…
I am Jerameel Lu, 25, a hobbyist from the Philippines. I am a Civil Engineer by profession, but Art is my passion.
For now, Art is just my hobby: I’m still busy earning a living as an engineer, so I have little time to work on creative projects. For this reason, inspiration rarely strikes me. My job is internet-based and I work alone in my room on engineering estimates late into the night, and only log-off at 8 in the morning.
Due to lack of proper knowledge about art, I grew up doing portraiture by copying what I see in the picture. At first that was the true meaning of perfection for me, when I can copy what I see, I am good. But not until I wake up one day, watched some of Web Art Academy’s free videos and reality smacked me, I am not good, I am just a human copying-machine…
I am an adult student who took an interest in drawing after losing a loved one. I wanted so desperately to capture all the things a photo can not.
My passion for art has blossomed in to a joyful place where I am free…
I spent my entire childhood thinking I would be some kind of scientist. I was smart, I was dedicated, I went to a nerd school and graduated with an Associate’s before my GED. I plowed ahead, thinking that things would be just as easy as they had before – but then life clubbed me over the head and things just sort of fell apart. On the other side looking back, I realize that the one thing that kept me from going completely insane was art. It keeps me grounded and gives me an outlet, and if I were to ever stop drawing I’m sure I would messily explode…
Well, what’s the difference between being an artist or just being able to draw? I believe an artist is someone who consistently puts time into their craft and is continually refining their skill. I am not an artist. I can draw when the great blue moon strikes and I sit down and really put my mind to the task…
My name is Cassiano Grandi, I am Brazilian and I live in Sao Paulo. The art is manifested in my life since childhood, when my teacher father corrected tests and I drew on his side. I’ve always been in love of drawing, painting and music. At 15 I started my career as a model, which touched my interest in photography. At 20, I started my first jobs as a photographer and makeup artist, which are my main profession to this day. My days are quite run, I work and live to learn more, because the fashion world and very competitive, which requires a continuous updating. Today I’m 32 years old, I feel the need to have a take a time to myself…breathe! Then the desire for drawing and painting resurfaced. Unfortunately our country is experiencing a crisis, which makes it unfeasible investments, which makes me study by myself…
My name is Gina. My family consists of 4 adult children who have given me so far 5 1/2 grandchildren (one due in December).
I have always thought I was capable of some kind of drawing/sketching. My youngest daughter bought me some Art lessons which encouraged me to follow my dream of being able to draw my grandchildren as they grow…
I am a self-taught artist. I started to appreciate and make art at an early age. But I was using crayons and oil pastel then…
I’m an artist and an art director living in Chicago. I’ve been drawing since being a little boy in upstate NY, and an AD for 30 years.
I draw because I love it and it was a gift given to me by my father’s side of the family. I’ve always been good at it…
