Get in touch with the Drawing Academy tutors; they will be happy to help
“I have looked at the Web Art Academy, Drawing Academy and Old Masters Academy. As a self-taught aspiring artist, where should I start? With a limited budget, if I can afford only one course, which would be most comprehensive?”
Hi! I have heard that XXXXXXXX University one of the best places to get good art education. I see they have three years in learning Fine Art. Would you recommend it? It is in the UK. I think it seems very long.
“After drawing a rough portrait sketch, I can feel that there’s something off with respect to where facial features and other key points are placed; however, I can’t pinpoint what is wrong and therefore could not correct those mistakes. Can you advise any checkpoints or what do I need to pay attention to?”
Hi, Drawing Academy team. I am a completely self taught artist and paint with pastels and oils. My drawing skills are poor; I use photographs, so my lack of drawing skills doesn’t keep me from proceeding. But, I’d really like to improve in that area.
I have a question:
How to learn to see differently?
Thank you,
Laurie
How to advise parents of young [under 10] children where to send them for art lessons? I have already told them – they must learn drawing first. However Australia is still in the grip of the expressionists. A look at our premier portrait prize, the Archibald, as well as the rich portrait prize, the Moran, will illustrate this point.
How to advance from the ‘oohs, aahs, aren’t you clever’ of friends and family to works of a professional level of skill, beauty, and elegance?
I want to learn how to draw rapidly from life. What are the best ways to get accurate values?

Question from Helene I would like to enroll in the Drawing Academy as it seems just perfect for learning good drawing skills, and I have one question about your tutoring. Will I be working one-on-one with an instructor? Sincerely, Helene Feedback from Vladimir London, Drawing Academy tutor Dear Helene, Yes, as a Drawing Academy student you will have a personal support…
I am interested in taking this course. What kind of career or job can I get with a Drawing Academy diploma? Also, is this a work-at-your-own-pace kind of course?
I am a portrait painter and narrative painter. Unfortunately, I have had to be dependent on photos because I am unable to do live sittings with my subjects due to time constraints and the ages of my subjects, so my life drawing skills are very weak, though I continue to sketch daily.
Here’s my question – How to get correct foreshortening using values?
I am continuing with drawing lessons according to Drawing Academy lesson plan.
In order to learn correctly and understand constructive drawing, face proportions in different views, tonal rendering, hatching, etc., I made this drawing of Amazon’s head. Never, in my wildest dreams I would dare to expect to draw something like this up till now. I consider these drawings as reference drawings to which I can return time and again when drawing from life, as needed.
