Inspired by art

Artwork by Angie

For as long as I can remember I have always had a love for drawing. However I never had the opportunity of any formal training. I have read books and tried different techniques by copying what the masters do.

I never seem to be able to draw from memory but can copy almost anything if given a photo. I came across the Drawing Academy a few weeks ago when I was investigating new skills and thought that I would benefit greatly from this course. Help me to become a better artist and inspire the world!

I think the Drawing Academy is a great place to develop your individual art style of fine art…

To Art!

To Art!

Artwork by Ekene

Hi, my name is Ekene and I am currently an undergraduate at Wits University.

I’m studying Bcom law –a not so very artsy degree! I started drawing from a young age, probably six or seven and have only ever been self taught. I just dabbled y’know? I only started taking art seriously in 2014. I’ve spent a lot of money on art books, art materials and (excitingly!) bought my first easel during the December holidays. I come from a very academic family –so while the end product is appreciated, it’s difficult for my parents to understand why I practice ‘that drawing thing’.

I signed up a year or so ago to the Drawing Academy emails and I really like the structured learning that the course offers, how it covers all the comprehensive bits and bobs that an artist needs to know…

A Patriot and Hero

A Patriot and Hero

Artwork by C.J.

My name is CJ and like many, art stirs my heart and has since I was a child. I’ve been blessed with a gift in art, and try at every chance to bless others through it. Over the years, my art has brought many people excitement and joy through gifts and portraits. My goal is to spread an appreciation for art, and through it, keep strong the gratitude for those who serve their country.

This graphite drawing was done for a friend, patriot, and hero of mine. His family cherishes this piece and it was one of my greatest joys to see it proudly hanging on their home wall. Through the Drawing Academy Course and it’s resources, I want to strive for excellence and use my skills to uplift fine art and the beauty it can bring to this world (and those it)! …

I have been reading art books and watching YouTube videos and now I want to learn how to draw properly from Drawing Academy video lessons. This course would be invaluable to me. Winning the drawing course membership will be a victory for me…

A dream probably will come true

A dream probably will come true

Artwork by Siting Ni

My name is Siting, currently living in Quebec, Canada. As many other people here, I am that kind of person loves art but never has the opportunity to go to art school. My parents were very practical when they came to choose my major. Go to a normal high school & university, instead of any art school. Perhaps for them, art is not as “useful” as other subjects; plus, art school is really expensive and we cannot afford it. I am not a person loves to compromise and I don’t want to live in a way I find nothing fun. However, finally I gave up the opportunity of art school because I won’t put my family into risks.

Nevertheless, I always wish I would one day become an artist, even part-time. That’s why I am so excited when I find this website…
