I’m just an artist
By Supri Wahyu
Well, my name is Supri. I live in a village in Indonesia. I am now 18 years old. When I was a kid I really loved drawing; and I still love it. In my region being an artist is not good because artists are poor. But it’s different for me now because when I found this site it’s changed my mind, changed what I feel about art, about seeing art. I want to be an artist. Sorry about my bad English.

Man tired of working
By Mark Pol
The work of Mark Pol, also shown on his website www.markpol.nl, is in essence inspired by daily human life, without losing its vulnerability and the animal unpredictability. Despite the time-frame the painting or drawing might seem to be in, humanity is key in his work.
I need to win because it’s always good to learn more than you know already. It’s almost a wise way to live and be curious for knowledge…
Elegance
By Lim Kian Liong (Tommy)
My name is Lim Kian Liong (my nickname: Tommy) and I have a talent for painting since childhood, but I do not dare to be a painter because I am afraid I can not support the family. I still have the desire to do so until I get the Drawing Academy (searching internet). I want my abilities assessed, valued and for that I am trying to join the competition. Thank you…
French Fine Art
By Emmanuel
My name is Emmanuel, I am a 37 years old French art enthusiast. I live in Paris and I love drawing and all stuff related to art. When I saw for the first time a free video on YouTube of the Drawing Academy, I said wahh !! those guys are very good at what they do. Of course I subscribed to their channel, and I come from time to time watching tutorials. I think that winning this course will help me a lot to bring my drawings to the next level. Anyway, winning or not, I think that I will subscribe to this course because it is one of the best that I have seen online. I hope that the winner of this contest will win because he deserve it, not only because it is the guy who have more friends. Thank you all, I hope you will like my drawings…

Yuri: Become a Diva
By Suria Jimenez Magadan
I’m Suria Jimenez, a graphic designer from conviction but artist by passion, I think drawing was always part of my life, I do it since I was a child. I’m passionate about the details and over time have been perfecting a technique that allowed me to make increasingly drawing more and more detailed. When I “pretend” or do hyperrealism, I am only devote as much time to the drawing I’m doing, which make me very pleased although it has sometimes much harder. Every day I practice to achieve what I really want, the photorealism and each day that passes is never enough to keep learning from the masters…
Happiness
By Naomikaliya
I am a stay-at-home mother and struggling artist. My love for art and my desire to help my family has given me the desire to start drawing professionally. I am a self-taught artist besides a few classes in high school, but that was almost 20 years ago. I need to “learn” to draw again. I could use instruction on tips and techniques to make me the artist I really want to be. I cannot afford regular classes and I know with real help it could boost my confidence and art ability to be able to one of the best artist of my time. The color pencil portrait of Angelina Jolie that I have submitted shows how I currently feel. I am overjoyed with happiness to be able to care for my family and have time to draw! Artist Naomikaliya…

Young Coal Miner
By Richard Cheng
I started drawing and painting after I retired from my day job. After spending time and money on three courses at drawing at an university extra-mural program, I felt that I have not benefited as much as I deserved – and I have to make a decision. Either I give up drawing altogether, and look for something else to pass my time, or I should forget about learning from these paid teachers and do it on my own. As a result of deciding on self teaching, I purposely chose to learn human portraiture, simply because that I think that that genre of drawing would be the most challenging. I would cut photographs from newspapers and magazines (or any other sources), 5 to 10 pictures a day, and just doodled and copied studiously for a year…
