My name is Suann Li. I have been to many countries, am fascinated by their architectures. I really really enjoy art, especially oil parings. When visiting India, I was so surprised that their architectures are so special, so fine, so different from western styles, so many Precious Stones, so complicated that you hard to find similar ones other where in the world. I have such a strong desire to draw them down.
As a child we were not encouraged to draw or do arts. But I always felt that art is within me. So now I want to challenge myself and start my art’s journey to see how far it will take me.
Dear Fellow Artists, Friends, and Family,
I hope this message finds you well! My name is Jessica, and I am excited to be participating in the Drawing Academy Art Competition. I would be incredibly honored if you would consider voting for my artwork and supporting me in my artistic journey. Winning this competition would provide me with the opportunity to receive personalized feedback, hone my craft under expert guidance, and access new learning materials—all of which would be invaluable in unlocking my full potential as an artist.
My Story:
Art has become more than a passion for me—it’s a way of understanding the world and expressing the emotions that words can’t capture. My journey began after being inspired by a powerful painting I saw at my university, when learning to become a Special Needs Educator and Therapist in 2021. Since then, drawing has become my way of exploring vulnerability, strength, and connection.
The piece I am entering, Unveiled, represents my evolving perspective as an artist.
I’m Flavio. I’ve been drawing since I was little but only consistently and seriously about three years ago.
Hello, my name is Dante Dore and I am a student and scholar who has been practicing art in its many forms for nearly 20 years, however during these past few years I found myself lost and veered off the path of artistic enrichment. But it is a newfound inspiration that has brought me back and a newfound passion that I have found within the Drawing Academy to continue my journey.
I have been painting for over 80 years – yes, since I was 6 or 7 years old. I was an orphan and lived in a state run facility. My first and favorite recollection happened one Christmas when we were all given a box of crayons and a coloring book with tracing paper between each page. I was smitten. I spent many quiet hours on my stomach, on the floor, filling every page.
My name is Moonn and I love art with my entire being. Art and my life has been intertwined like pages in a book, taking up so much space that at times it seems that a pencil and a sketch book or a drawing tablet and it digital pen is all I am.
I have loved painting since I was a child. I have been to many art galleries in the world, and I especially like oil paintings. Art plays an important role in my life. Appreciating art and painting make me feel beautiful, inexpressibly happy, full of creative desire, peaceful mind, tolerance, acceptance and calmness towards worldly things. I used to be quite busy, but now I will paint whenever I have time. Because I have not received authentic painting training since I was a child, I am self-taught, so my basic skills are not good enough. I saw your course on the Internet and was very interested. Your teachers and courses are of high quality and cannot be learned anywhere else. I have learned three of your courses, anatomy, life drawing, and old master. I have really benefited a lot. Because life drawing mainly talks about the human body, I also hope to receive more complete painting training and be able to draw better works.
Let’s see, about me: retired after working since I was 15 years old. I’ve worked hard and am grateful and appreciative to all I’ve achieved. I’ve accepted many challenges and have strived to achieve or complete them to the best of my ability. After retiring, I found myself, well, empty, lost and without purpose. I struggled with this for several years trying to find a new passion, a new purpose to fill all this empty time. I remembered doing a bit of drawing in my younger years, mostly for grade school academics, and found it quite satisfying and rewarding, while also quite challenging. Boom, the Trifecta for me. It amazed me how artists could produce such astonishingly realistic work, and I’ve always wished I had been born with the “God given” talent to do it as well.
