Critique My Artworks

Drawings and questions from Jeff, Drawing Academy student

I continue to attend figure drawing sessions from time to time. Recently, I did these two drawings in blue Prismacolor Premier colored pencil. Each drawing was based on a single 20-minute pose. I tried to improve the models’ faces based on your video lessons on how to draw a mouth, nose, ears, etc. However, I still find it difficult, especially when I only have 20 minutes to complete the whole drawing. I am interested in any feedback you have for me.

Two Nudes

I have been studying the drawing techniques of the old masters.

In this drawing (conte’ and sepia pencils) I have combined the works of two great masters: Bertoia (left) and Raphael (right) and added the bathing pool in the center to combine the two drawings into a new composition. I faded the Raphael nude to add depth.

Hello, I am a 16 year old aspiring artist, and in need of your help. Here’s my drawing of a marble bust. I had trouble drawing and shading the statue’s hair. I would like to know what you think of it and what should I improve on. Your help is very much appreciated, thank you…

Artworks and questions from Gustavo, Drawing Academy student

Hi Vladimir and Natalie,

Please see below some of my artworks. How can I improve my portrait drawing skills? I know I have to practice, but what and how?

Your thoughts are highly appreciated!

Critique by Vladimir London, Drawing Academy tutor

Hi Roman,

Many thanks for your email and drawings. You told me that you have been drawing from photos for some time and now want to re-learn how to draw from life and imagination, but have some concerns about your progress.

Don’t be hard on yourself, many art students would be glad to have your drawing skills.

There are, however, few things you can start working on right now. Let’s start from the beginning: …

I’m 73, but learning. I love the Drawing Academy course. I have drawn things for paintings, but only to paint what I see. That’s my art background!

Thank you

We are never too old to learn

Thank you for your course. I am enjoying it immensely and learning a lot at the same time.

At 70 I have a way to go but as they say we are never to old to learn…

I’m trying to improve my drawing techniques
