‘Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.’ – Henry Ward Beecher
I believe that as part of creation we are all ‘artists’ in one way or another, expressing our artistic uniqueness in who we are, be it in our words, attire, likes and dislikes, talents, goals and ultimately our expression of life itself.
As I journey on the spiritual path of self-discover I have stumbled on a hidden talent. Some years back with the encouragement of a friend I put pencil to paper and viola! ~ my first drawing appeared! …

In my life I have been late to just about every milestone. I get to these milestones in my own timely manner. Late didn’t matter though as I had a clear concise goal. Then in my last year of college I had to take two electives and I was at a loss. My goals were clear until this point. As some may figure I thought this would be an easy choice. Little did I know how that one move would impact my goals? The first choice was easy. I went with creative writing since I had written poetry since I was twelve. The second choice was Art history, and my major was archaeology so this seemed to fit. That one class changed everything in my world and the pull I felt to art I cannot explain. Though the pull was great I still stayed on my goal…

I’ve started my drawing journey since I was a little child. By getting more involved, I realized that my heart is in Arts. After some years struggling with the learning process which was along side my academic studies in Civil engineering and Architecture, I decided to master in wide variety of fields by excelling arts and architecture. After a decade spending time and effort on drawing since my childhood, I’ve managed to get four diplomas from Arsoy Private Art School including teaching certificate, while I’ve finished my studies in Master of Architecture. Recently, I’ve started to work on advanced drawing, watercolor, cartooning. So far, I’ve got a letter of appreciation and some nationally published artworks…

I’m a 21 year old Portuguese girl who loves a lot of things, one of them being art.
I started drawing more seriously a few years ago, wanting to become better and create something that I could impress my own self with. I decided for a whole year draw something everyday, my skills improved but only in making portraits, when it came to draw from imagination it was always hard. That’s why I’m always in search of new tips, new tutorials that so many great artists post online, their own journeys and how they improved. YouTube is a huge friend in this department…

As a subscriber to Drawing Academy, I have received snippets of useful information concerning the sweet science of drawing and have learned great tricks that when applied to my art have reaped positive results. However, as a self-taught artist, I feel limited in my drawing abilities. Although I have been drawing my whole life and have continually pushed my drawing skills ahead by watching videos, reading art books and studying works my the masters (Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael), I feel unsatisfied and feel the lack of classical training has hindered my progress…

I was born in the remotest part of Zambia within the area surounded by the national park and my life was an encounter with animals and loved to hunt. And because of always watching nature, I was led to like to draw what ever I saw and I started drawing at an early age without knowing how important art is. But now I have come to know how art is significant in playing a role in conservation of natural resourses. I have become more like an activist in conservation of natural resources and am living on art after having not gone through formal learning of how to draw and paint…
