I made a first attempt at the still life and it was quite challenging, especially the bowl. It seems I can’t quite make ovals!
I hope it is satisfactory for our purposes. I must do more of these.
Hi,
I am working on the Anatomy Master Class course. I am on lessons “How to draw a portrait”, drawing the head from the neck-shoulders up.
I find that I cannot quite render the right proportions of the head. I think it has to do with the circumference of the base of the neck oval, then the length of the clavicle. I cannot get this right.
Could you enlighten me on what I am doing wrong and how to correct it?
Hi Drawing Academy tutors,
I’ve just registered and look forward to my journey on this art course.
Just to let you know I am a totally self-taught artist and have had no formal art training at all. As a child and young adult I found it quite easy to draw from my imagination but as I got older I started drawing from photos and now I’m even finding it quite difficult just to do that. I enjoy it but it takes me ages to create my artworks.
I’m just scared that I may not be able to break out of old bad habits like copying from photos.
Here’s one still-life I’ve done from life.
Many thanks
Geri
Thank you so much for your support. Here’s my drawing I did from life and a photo of the subject.
I am looking forward to your opinion.
Thank you

I painted this portrait from a live model in 7 sessions of 3 hours each.
Hello,
It has been a while since I sent anything; life has been very busy and hectic. I have been drawing—not as much as I wish, but I have.
These are studies of skulls morphing into the flesh, trying to understand the underlying structure and outer elements.
The structural drawing remains a challenge for me. I do realize, though, that any problem usually stems from not getting the structure right from the beginning. I realize I lack patience in that step; I just want to get going. ..
I wanted to send this drawing because I need professional critique. I’m attending weekly life drawing classes locally, but my art teacher doesn’t give any feedback other than “great job.” I know I have a lot to learn in life drawing and showed this sketch to my family; they said it was good, but maybe they just wanted to make me happy.
I would really appreciate if you could tell me what is not right with this drawing and how can I improve.
Hello, this is Angelina.
Can you help me with my drawings? I’ve made two drawings from life, including a statue from the art museum. I am having difficulties with grouping the shadows and shading the fabric. Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you
I have drawn the portrait as a gift for my grandma.
I used charcoal (white & black). It took me about five hours. I tried to utilize the knowledge that I have gained from the videos on Drawing Academy – mainly about proportions of a head. Fun fact: I had to use a photo due to lack of portable mirror :)
I will be happy for feedback.
