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)…

I’ve been drawing since I can remember, I’ve always been inclined towards creative hobbies especially music and art.

I’m 16 and homeschooling and about to start hairdressing at Tafe next year.

I’ve been doing so much drawing practice, I feel like I’ve improved so much since I started drawing everyday. I think I’m a real fast learner when it comes to these things…

Hello,

I’m a 16 year old in high school who wants to become a Master in the art of painting and I believe that learning how to draw first is the best way of getting there and that the Drawing Academy can help me get accomplish my goal. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I had grown a love for art. It probably was not until June that I seriously wanted to become a fine artist. My path so far has been kind of bumpy.

Before drawing, I am usually overcome by this sense of fear that what I produce won’t be to my liking. This leads to me going for days without picking up the pencil for anything but school work. Ignoring practice is not good for my hand and is my main weakness at the moment. My skills progress slowly because of that. So I usually end up reading art books instead of drawing, as if looking for something to motivate me…

Having recommenced drawing after 30 years of ‘silence’, on a day I got laid off, I could no longer deny the need for creative self-expression. I’m fascinated by a human body, it’s universal anatomy, and at the same time that unique detail that makes every person unlike any other.

To me art is a possibility, a privilege of trying to capture a temporary nature of life and seek understanding…

Artwork by Levi

My Name is Levi, I’m 21 years old from Brazil.

I live in Sobral in Ceará, in the northeast of the states; there are no drawing schools here!

I am very interested in art! I would love to learn classical drawing from a teacher who really mastered it!

Traveling to other towns that are far away to study drawing is not an option for me.

Searching the internet I found the Drawing Academy, where I realized that this must be one of the best schools that teach traditional art! …
