Artwork by Marko Djokov Ivanovic
My name is Marko. I am from Montenegro.
I started drawing when I was very young, and also I learnt two alphabets( Latin and Cyrillic ) when I was 2. When I was 5 I did realistic portraits.
All my life art was my love, my passion, and more than that. But, unfortunately, none supported me to continue improving my art knowledge and making art. My friends, my neighbors, my professors, even my parents and family were against my desire and plans to study in the Academy of Fine Arts. They told me that I should study maths and physics at electrical engineering faculty, because sciences offers me more opportunities, and safer life. And I didn’t have any choice. I left drawing and painting, and I enrolled in High school. Also, I graduated from the Faculty of Electrical engineering. So, I haven’t drawn for 13 years. And all of a sudden, I saw street artist drawing, and I said to myself: ‘Marko, you should start painting!!!!’…

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 have a Masters degree in Computer Science and worked in the software industry for 16 years. Having to manage a family and a demanding career took a toll on my health and 4 years back I gave up my job and went back to my childhood passion – art. Art has been therapeutic in so many ways, restoring my mental health and wellbeing. I don’t think I could have survived this change in my lifestyle without art.
I started with acrylic and oil, but the medium I find most challenging and close to my heart is water colours. I love putting in people, especially children in my paintings. Since I have never had any formal training in drawing, I find it difficult to get the right posture and the right proportions. I am a regular reader of Drawing Academy newsletter and after going through the free art instructional material in this website, I think that I would really benefit from your course, especially since Drawing Academy puts so much emphasis on learning from the old masters and the age-old, proven, traditional drawing methods…

I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, although I have never had any formal Fine Art training.
I attended the Advertising Academy in Brisbane, studying graphic design and gaining an excellent knowledge of computers and graphic programs.
I worked in the Graphic Design industry for 10 years before I finally grew tired of sitting at a computer and not drawing. I still felt I needed the security of commercial art and since I’ve always been interested in animation went on to complete a Bachelor of Animation at Griffith University, Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, learning 2D & 3D traditional animation techniques…

I’m an 18 years old girl which started painting and drawing since I was a little girl. I think I’m blessed that i have such a beautiful talent, because anyone of my family don’t have any talent about art.
I love math, that maybe because of my dad, who loves math too.
First I started with pastels, than acrylics, and last year with oil. I love to create clothes and I’ve made many illustrations of my creations. I have knowledge about art of graphic.
I love art history and I have very good knowledge about anatomy of human body…

I’m a 22 year old aspiring artist. I love Philosophy so my artistic program includes the integration of visual imagery and metaphysics. This is the motivation behind my submission titled Kant’s Apple. It is a depiction of the constitutive nature of human cognition and critique on the integrity of appearance.
I love the Drawing Academy course! …
