This year, I finally realized that the most essential step to improve my artistic skills is to study academic drawing. In this sense, I believe that the Drawing Academy represents a truly valuable opportunity, due to the seriousness of its methodology and the high quality of its instruction, to build a solid and consistent foundation.

I do not believe that my current drawings demonstrate the technical skill or quality that would, by themselves, justify a vote. However, if people see in them sincerity, dedication, and a genuine desire to learn and grow, I would be deeply grateful for this opportunity. Winning this course would mean not only improving my skills, but also giving new meaning to a passion I have cultivated for many years.

Using pen and manilla, also circles as form of texture, I created an artwork entitled-“Circles”

Artwork and story from Johnny Moore

I’m a self-taught visionary painter who came to art the way some people come to breathwork – out of necessity, not ambition. For most of my life, I carried the quiet weight of neurodivergence and PTSD, and I discovered that creating images became the one place where my mind settled, and my nervous system softened. Painting isn’t a hobby or a side passion for me; it’s the tool that helps me stay connected to the world, and the language I use when ordinary language fails.

Artwork and story from Destin

Drawing Academy is an amazing institution of art. With that goes my reason for wanting to win the course. I want to advance further in art guided by professionals since I never had a chance to attend an art school.

Artwork and story from Parvinder

I have a different perspective on life. I am inclined to the artistic passions deeply and I create the art in fields of writing, poetry, painting and music. As being an avid follower of art, I try to show my emotions with help of my art. Also, I experiment with various kinds of mediums (specifically in drawing and painting), for example, shading, painting in acrylics and watercolour). I won’t say that I am an artist because still I am in the learning phase and trying out my creativity.

Artwork and story from Natalia Samarina

My name is Natalia Samarina, a Fine Art Artist based in West Sussex, UK. Art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I found joy in drawing, sewing, cooking, and inventing new things. Creativity has always been the language through which I understood the world.

Artwork and story from Regina da Silva

The Drawing Academy felt like an oasis for me. A breath of fresh air. It’s like what I have been looking for, for so long, but wouldn’t find. I watched some of the free classes and noticed immediate improvement with my portrait sketching. And I’m sure I’ll dive deeper. Especially I have loved how you insist one must know to draw from imagination: and that’s exactly what I feel inclined to do.

Artwork and story from Amanda Nicole Cordaro

My name is Amanda Nicole Cordaro, and art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I started drawing and painting as a child, often while home sick, and it became a lifeline—a way to connect with the world even when my body couldn’t keep up with it. Now, as a permanently disabled artist, creating art continues to be both my expression and my freedom.

Artwork and story from Nikol Řeháková

My name is Nikol Řeháková and I move between law, visual art and music. Drawing is at the center of my artistic process. I see it as the foundation of everything in art – the place where observation, structure and sensitivity meet. I would like to strengthen this foundation even more.

I am a retired Scientist who over the last decade have enjoyed drawing and painting as a passion.
