I’m a classical animator who learned life drawing through the discipline of animation. I enjoy the complexity of the human figure and all life for that matter.
Capturing life and channeling it into a drawing or sketch is the magic I gravitate to in all art. ..
Whenever I dedicate time to art, it seems to me that life is more colourful. Also whenever I spend too much time doing it, things start to lose colour. I thought that one day when I have all the time in the world I may do more creative work. But that time never comes.
I’ve just started my drawing career less than a year ago and I’m willing to be trained by the mentors here aside from my school. I hope this will be the right way for me being a fine artist. I’ve learned this style few days ago after I watched this video “Help! I can’t draw“, it helps me a lot.
Since I was discarded from my job as a security systems engineer because i was over 54 (that is some kind of trend on not just a few European schools of management…), i devoted myself to what looked to be to me an hidden passion for painting.
Now, almost seven years of a self-taught oil painting path, not yet fulfilled as far as I am concerned about what I think is correct and pleasant to my eyes, I reached a point where everything drove to that point where the lack of minimum drawing skills and hard work on what looks to be the fundamental basis of all art stands as a must goal…
I’m trying to learn how to draw on my own – I read everything I can on the internet and in books.
Artists are not valued in my country like in the US and Europe…
I am Kostantia from Greece. I started studying in the university of Fine Arts, years ago. A lot of hard things in life forced me to discontinue my studies. I never stopped being in love with art and now I am back and want to start learning again…
I tried very hard to not fail doing this study of a human body according to the book Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogart.
I liked the result. I hope you do to…
I’ve been drawing since a very small age. Ever since I can remember.
I believe it was my mother, a very talented seamstress, who inspired me to draw. i remember being so small barely looking over the table and watching her as she was sketching out the models wearing the wedding dresses she designed. While all the kids in my neighborhood were outside playing I was drawing in my sketchbook. This the only place I could feel safe and confident.
At first I did a lot of fantasy drawings making up stories. Then I started drawing my favorite cartoon characters Batman and Superman. At the age of 14 I took a chance and drew my uncle and cousin while they sat in front of me. Somehow I had enough courage and I was certain I could do a good job…

Hi there,
Finally, I found your site, a place where I could learn the method from the Old Masters! The concept from copying from the masters is not new to me, but it seems that your course is well organized. Otherwise I feel like it will take more time for me to learn to draw and to paint well (the way it should be)…
