In Search of a New

In Search of a New

Artwork by Vanessa Brioso

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…

Pushing Boundaries by Learning the Basics!

Artwork by Valdengrave Okumu

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…

My age

My age

Artwork by SAKANYA BANDA

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…

Old but New

Artwork by Claudia Johnson

At 50, I received a precious gift of 6 art sessions. I had always been passionate about art, but I had never had an art class, even in school. Since then, I have given several hours a day to learning more about drawing and painting on the Internet. Being a missionary and a teacher, I spend my days living in Thailand and teaching refugees from Pakistan who have no opportunity to attend school…
