Artwork by Ega Mudavanhu

My name is Ega Mudavanhu from Zimbabwe. I am an artist born with both the love for amazing artwork and a very good eye at observation.

My art grew from observation and copying and by this I mean to say that I used to draw my inspiration from other artists work be it story illustrations or televised programs…

Don’t put years to your life, put life to your days

Artwork by Juan Felipe Molano Rodriguez

My name is Juan Felipe Molano and I’m a student in Bogota Colombia.

I have always loved to draw but it was the moment when I grabbed a camera and took a trip to a small town and I saw this elder woman who just seemed like she just enjoyed life, she inspired me to go home and draw her. I know it might need some improvements, but it is my first long scale drawing, although I did put the best effort into it. I hope you enjoy it! …

The Three Graces

The Three Graces

Artwork by Rita Alamanou

I am a mature art student and I attend the local Greek art classes in Corfu. With the help of fellow art students and teachers I have progressed from knowing very little about painting and drawing to a good standard.

It seems that the hidden artist wanted to come out even at this stage in my life. I have always had a strong admiration for beautiful art work and wondered how it could be achieved.

Now I know I can paint beautiful pictures and what pleasure it gives me. I do have a lot of room for improvement so this is why I would like the chance to win the Drawing Academy lessons

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…
