Story and artwork form Akash Dey

Hi, my name is Akash Dey. I am currently studying to be an artist. I graduated high school this year. I am drawing and painting each day, learning anatomy, studying the techniques of old masters, and also thinking about my own art journey. Art give meaning to my life. Any kind of creation gives meaning to our lives, but for me painting is the one. I love painting and drawing. I want to become a good artist, and being a good painter is a part of that aim.

Story and artwork from Yampier Sardina

Since I was a child I liked drawing, it is a deep feeling, which became a necessity. I studied in an art academy 4 years, there I met a great artist, who dedicated his life to the knowledge of the classic techniques of drawing and painting. I spent several years with him as an assistant and disciple. Today I dedicate my life to art. Drawing is a passion.

Artwork by Edward van den Berg

My aim with my works, is to capture emotion on canvas, to make a person stop for a moment and pause, turn them to stone and think, and have an effect of “turned to stone” for a while.

Story and artwork by Rafael Lagatic

I’m a digital illustration artist but I would love to improve my anatomy skills. Art has a major impact in my line as it had been a great influence in the career path that I have chosen. I believe learning to draw traditionally will help me improve my skills. I always struggle in anatomy, foreshortening, light and shadow.

Story and artwork from Lori

Hey there!

I am currently fourteen years old who has been using various videos and books on the internet to teach myself how to draw for almost two years. Watching those futuristic cyber-movies and CGI films when I was younger drove me to become an artist, and seeing the ideas of so many people be put into just one film while making such an impact on others made me want to do it too!

Story and artwork by Yera

Hey there, I’m a self-taught artist.

I started making art from a young age only because my older sister was talented, and I took inspiration from her. We were both referred to as the ‘art sisters’, although I was always slightly overshadowed by her, but recognized nonetheless. After a move to a different continent, I started relying on my art as my voice, in a way, because I barely knew the language. It helped a lot with coping. Only recently, though, have I started taking art seriously. I even attended my first art class for a while before the quarantine.
