With Open Eyes

I have drawn as long as I could hold a pencil. I used to pester my parents to ask me to draw something and drew my own paper dolls. I knew I would have a career in art, but realities of the job world led me towards graphic design. Now I feel the pull to, once again, draw everything I find beautiful in the world. Art takes a central part in my life. Curiosity is a huge part of making art so I am always learning and exploring: new techniques, new materials and new avenues to pursue.

Standing Outside in the Cold just to Draw a Hallway

I am an art and design college student. I’m still deciding what careers I should pursue.

I usually draw at home and at art studios.

Old Hands

I have always had an interest in art. I admire many artist and always would like to draw or paint like they do.

Beautiful eyes

I am retired and started sketching in Oct 2016. I always thought about drawing and thought I would give it a go. My only resource of information has been YOUTUBE, ,I have not had any lessons by doing any courses or lessons by art teachers.

Delight Asuncion

I am a self-taught artist.

I haven’t had the opportunity of having a proper art lesson but with a few papers, pens or pencils, experimenting, and tutorials, I am where I am right now.

I loved art as a little girl and I still do now. Art is relaxing to me and it became a part of me.

Da Vinci lady

I am a Michigander who has been drawing since I was a child. I liked video games and dinosaurs so I would draw characters and animals. I still do. But, it was only recently since I’ve took the matter of drawing very seriously. I figured, “I appreciate drawing and animation too much. There must be something behind this appreciation. Should I follow it somehow?” I’m what people call a “late-bloomer”; I’m often lost and wasn’t sure on what to do with myself.

Rooted and Free

I started drawing three months ago and until now I had never discovered this passion. Art has always been a major component in my life and I can go as far as to say that it was art (in the form of music, dancing, painting, sculpting…) that saved me. It gave my life new meaning, it made me hope for better and brighter days, it made me want to try. Always. No matter how tough it got.

For this reason, now I no longer say art is an important part of my life but rather my life in itself.

I always thought I had a basic understanding of the fundamentals, though I did struggle a bit to produce the finale result.

It wasn’t until I purchased the Anatomy Master class when I really, really realized how much of the fundamentals of drawing I lacked.

Mirror of the soul

My name is Larisa and I’m from a small town in Romania. I’ve always loved to draw and paint but I’ve only start doing it seriously in February this years when I’ve decided I want to go to Art University in my country. It’s a big and difficult journey and I have to recover years of studying in only one year.

I’m grateful I’ve found Drawing Academy some time ago, and the demo was extremely helpful but I just could’t afford it. So here I am, trying to prove that you can do anything you desire, everything you think it can makes you happy. And I do believe that winning this it would help me to get rid of half of my problems and stress about university if no all problems.

I want (the most) to learn to draw like old masters, to learn proportions and figure body.

Childhood passion found again

Hi!

When I was a kid I was into super hero comic books and like most kids in that age I attempted to draw some super heroes of my own. Later I got more into fantasy art and as a grown up my focus shifted towards the academic art. Drawing and painting is just a hobby but in the most recent years I have made an effort learning the foundations through various courses and online tutorials.

I really appreciate the process of learning and when I am not working or spending time with my family I try to get as much drawing time in as possible.
