Hello there,
Before taking the Drawing Academy course, my drawing skills were basic, so I couldn’t even apply for any formal art university. The main purpose for joining Drawing Academy was to improve my skills and get prepared for entry exams.
Today, I am getting sketches and paintings commissions, and I also got admission in a university for fine arts – they found my portfolio really impressive and I give all the credit to Drawing Academy.
Earlier this year Orlando Nah has won the Drawing Academy Art Competition and received the full membership in this online drawing course. Here’s what Orlando says:
Hi, I’m Paria Hakimi.
I have been drawing and painting since the moment in my childhood when I found out that art is one of those things that makes my soul much happier.
In 2015, I won the Art Competition and received the full Drawing Academy membership https://drawingacademy.com/inspire-and-change-the-world-with-art.
I found the Drawing Academy course online and immediately signed for it as it is exactly what I needed.
I draw as a hobby and wanted to learn the fundamentals to improve my drawing skills.
I have learned so much from the Drawing Academy course. Now, I feel more confident and will continue learning and practicing more. I also intend to watch the Drawing Academy video lessons again.
With clear video tutorials in the academic course, I was able to gather many new insights and integrate them into my style.
I like the Drawing Academy course, it offers good quality art education I always wanted to receive.
In this course, I have learned a lot about freehand drawing and techniques used by the Old Masters.
I am very grateful for many new things I have learned. This drawing course was very helpful in improving drawing skills.
My elementary school art teacher paid attention only to those who could already draw and paint. This hurt me; I was overlooked and felt invisible. So, I lived all these years believing that I could not draw or paint. Every time I looked at a painting I found interesting, I felt a desire to be able to create something, anything.
A few years ago, my husband brought me a cherry flower branch that was so beautiful, I immediately sat down and painted it in watercolors. I thought that such a burning desire to paint and such a beautiful subject should result in a beautiful painting. I could not have been more disappointed – it was difficult and as much as I tried, it just got worse. It was clear to me that if I wanted to create a painting that I would be satisfied with, I had to find some help.
