I hadn't been drawing for years and then when I retired I joined the Senior Center in town. I was lucky to join an art class that had a retired art teacher as the instructor and she was a wonderful inspiration. This pencil sketch is the product of her great instruction and patience. A good teacher is something to be admired...
Hello,
I am Pabu and I see some drawings looking real as if its breathing and has life. Those kinds of drawings were my inspiration. Starting to learn and every time I draw even a simple one it teaches many things.
One should be able to draw what he thinks and Drawing Academy is one such which guides artists in that direction.
I really like to draw life like drawings and to draw what i think and this course will really help me out a lot...
Well of course my name is Brian and art is my passion. Its been a gateway for me to leave all the messy situations I've been in and escape away in my own mind. I wasn't like much by my peers or family and was considered to be an outcast often because of how I acted or the way I dressed and such. I could never figure out the answer to change any of those things. It would often hurt my heart that I had to change who I was for people to accept me (even my family). But when I was around 5 or 6 I discovered a passion for sketching, recreating, and designing different things. By the time I reached middle school I was drawing on t-shirts and sketching fake tattoos on random kids. High school I developed my skill and improved. Current day now that I'm 21 I love drawing. Sometimes id do tattoos or paint but nothing was more better then Wilding a pencil and creating whatever came to mind on that paper...
My story is not that much different than many other people in this art competition. I am an older person returning to art after not drawing very much for many years. I did not take an art class when I was in high school, I always sort of knew that I could draw.
When I first went to college, I started out as a journalism major, but did not like the program. After some soul searching, I decided to pursue art as a major. So I applied to my university's fine arts department, put together a portfolio and got accepted into the program. Eventually receiving my BFA in drawing. Like many university art programs, they were mainly about teaching creativity.They made the work of the 'old masters' seem outdated and historical. Students today are very lucky to have the internet as a learning resource. I wish it was around when I was in school ...

Hi, I'm 14 and only recently got myself a sketchbook and am beginning to fill it. I've never had any art lessons/courses outside of school art class so I never really got to learn the basics or any drawing techniques.
My target for art has always been realism. I would love to one day be able to draw realistically. I also want to be able to create art without having to look up references all the time on my laptop...
I'm a newbie artist. I started drawing less than 2 years ago. Now, I'm studying fine arts in college.
Fine artist is the only profession that I can think of. My school isn't enough to make me a great artist. Watching the videos after my class will help me maximize my time to practice my skills.
Drawing Academy is great online learning center for artist; instructors are hands-on to the students.
I think it will make me one of the best of our class from one of the worst.
Please vote for me because I need to learn more in arts from these great instructors....
I'm a 24 year old self taught artist. I'm interested in art history and learning fine arts is the one thing I always wanted to do. Art has helped me calm down and put my thoughts to paper. I good way to express myself. I have difficulty focusing and drawing has taught me patience.
This would be the first time I'd be trying out online classes. I'm excited to learn from Drawing Academy.
I want to learn to draw and to express myself better. I want to show people how I think and feel...
My name is Brighita Weinberg, I am 67 year old. I was a professional woman, now am retired. All my life I liked drawing and was fascinated with the works of art. Especially I enjoyed oil paintings of the old masters, their techniques and the way they connect to the viewer.
Most of my training is self taught, and now I am participating in more formal education .I am also using the internet as a source for my training.
The submitted painting is related the picture of my niece that is a solger in the Israeli army. Her gaze and determination attracted me to paint this picture.
I do believe that more formal training in the Drawing Academy will help me to advance in this field, and fulfill my dream to become an artist...
