Artwork by Megan Collins
Hello, I’m Megan. I grew up on the coast of Maine, surrounded by artists and living in an artists’ mecca. Occasionally I would do some sketching, designed playbills in high school, and never considered it a serious endeavor; I was too busy with music back then, and frankly, thought that I could never be good enough.
Fast forward to my late 30’s when I moved to Hawaii. Everything was so beautiful here that I couldn’t capture it in words. I pulled out some colored pencils that I had for years and began to draw. I drew one of the parrots we had at the time and gave it to my housemate for Christmas and she said, “And you’re not doing this for a living?” I received an easel for my birthday that year, and I’ve been painting and drawing ever since…
My true self
Artwork by Evelyn Orozco
Hello!!! I’m so excited for doing this, you can’t even imagine.
I’m 17 years old, from Táchira, Venezuela.
I hadn’t told this to anyone but now I’m gonna be sincere and open my heart to all of you. I’ve always been a person who people can rely on, since I can remember I always did what it was expected for me to do, like being respectful, responsible, disciplined, a good student…
One day I started wondering about who I was, if I was just who people wanted me to be or who I wanted to be… Here’s where, without previous warning, my passion for art and that little artist I had since I was a child reborn. Suddenly I found myself reading Andrew Loomis books and watching YouTube drawing videos! …
Lucy
Artwork by Doreen Rowley
I have always attempted to draw portraits since I was very young. I completed a bachelors degree in visual arts in 2003 but the education did not involve learning techniques. Nevertheless, the arts theory education was very rewarding. I am still attempting to improve my drawing and painting skills in between my normal job, household, children etc in the hope that I can pursue my arts practice as a profession on day…
Color me black
Artwork by Adriana
I’m the type of girl who adores learning and reading. Those two things helped me tremendously last year when I started drawing for the first time. My friends and family were very surprised when I started creating art because I’ve never done it before and they asked me why I never said I was good at it. The truth is I’ve spent TONS of hours researching online, reading blog posts, following artists on instagram and deviantart, watching hundreds of videos and saving thousands of pictures by other artists to study their techniques. I still have so much more to learn but I am so proud of how far I have come by myself…

Poncet painting
Artwork by Poncet
Hello,
I am Poncet, and I really love painting. I am from Reunion Island and this is the place that inspires me the most.
My favorites art movements are baroque, impressionist and romanticism.
Since I have never took drawing or painting classes, my level of painting is, I think, really low, but I hope to improve it with the Drawing Academy lessons!
Drawing Academy is a very good website and they have really good videos, I have watched them all.
Drawing Academy will really help me to improve my drawings and paintings. I think that the lessons are really complete…
Angelic Visions
Artwork by Paula Marie Deubel (P. Mari)
I’ve been drawing since I learned to hold a pencil; my grandmother encouraged me by showing me how to draw horses (at that time, they were my favorite subject). I drew hundreds and hundreds of horses, even at school and in Sunday School class. Scolded often by teachers, I kept on drawing in secret! Finally, when I was nine-year-old, my mother enrolled me in private art classes in East Detroit. After that, I studied under various artists for about ten years. I later began to draw and paint angels, as the creative process truly is an observance of “angelic visions.” …
Talaya Lightbourne’s Artistry
Artwork by Talaya Lightbourne
Hi, everyone. My name is Talaya Lightbourne. I’m a 21 year old student pursuing my dream to become an artist.
At age 11, I discovered that art was my passion and creative outlet, from middle school to high school I have taken all art classes. However, when I graduated high school due to finances i had to go to a college not of my choosing and the majors were limited, in the end I stuck with a major that didn’t align with my true path in life which is art. Now, I am starting over again to get back into my artistry and to become the artist I was born to be.
I love Drawing Academy because you can learn so many different techniques and skills. Also, I like it because you can take classes from the comfort of your own home…
