My name is Rodny Garcia. I was born in Havana, Cuba. My artwork is a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci. I did it in impressionistic technique in acrylic. I have never had an art school. Everything I know about painting is self-learned thanks to YouTube videos.
My name is Trung Huynh. I am in my mid 30s and always had a passion for art. In grade school my teachers saw that passion and entered me in an art competition which I had won and would have began my art career but sadly things did not turn out the way I had hoped.
My interest in art goes back to my childhood years, when my parents befriended a gallerist. I visited the gallery often with them, attended art exhibitions, and met well-known artists when I was just about 7 years old. I was a quiet child so they allowed me in.

Drawing Academy seems like an excellent platform that provides comprehensive art education and training. I appreciate the fact that it covers a wide range of topics, from basics to advanced techniques, and it seems like a great resource for artists of all levels. Winning the Drawing Academy course would be an incredible opportunity for me to improve my skills and learn from experienced artists. I believe that this course will help me achieve my goals of becoming a successful animator and producing high-quality artwork.

Born in Porteirinha – MG, I lived on music for a long time. As in any city in the interior of Brazil, there was demand from parents to enroll in a college. I had to move to another city since my hometown didn’t have colleges.
I joined the Faculty of Information Systems. While studying Information Systems I started an internship at a software company. There I could understand that the life I was leading was not the one I was looking for in my future.

After high school I took the entrance exam at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. It was in the sixties when Art had to be Conceptual and Abstract. Figurative art was for the dummies of little talent. Clearly belonging to that group I was rejected, started to work in the Advertising industry, worked for big agencies and had my own, married, got kids and never touched a brush or a pencil again.
