Just starting
Since retiring I have been looking for some new things to try. Art & drawing has been on the list.
Initially, I watched some drawing video lessons from one teaching company, which was OK. However, I found the Drawing Academy course much better. Watching someone actually drawing was very helpful. This made me to pick up a pencil and start drawing. I didn’t have any prior drawing experience, apart of doodling in a kindergarten.
Medical illustration has been a particular interest for me as I’m a retired doc; so I began with that…

Hello,
My name is Neil and I’m 45 years old. I never knew I would develop a passion for drawing, until I saw it through my daughter’s eyes. I have been a student of the Drawing Academy since December 2015. I was of course skeptical taking an online art course, but Academy tutors have keep me on course, consistently provided me support, and encouragement at what always seems to be the right moment…

The Appeal of Hatching
The main attraction for me about enrolling with the Drawing Academy is because of the old master techniques that are taught, which cannot be found in any mainstream art school. My drawing skills were quite good before I enrolled with the Drawing Academy and most of my shading, especially with graphite pencil, was rendered by smudging to obtain smooth tones, which was my main fall-down.
During the Drawing Academy course I had learnt one vital piece of information, not to smudge graphite…

Big thanks for Drawing Academy!
Hello,
I found the Drawing Academy website when I was searching for drawing courses on the internet.
I am a tattoo artist and drawing is absolutely necessary for me. I was able to copy-draw photos; however, I couldn’t draw from imagination and wanted to learn how to do that, so I could express my feelings and ideas.
When I found the Drawing Academy course and read all information about it, it hooked me up. The idea that I can learn drawing without using any photos was amazing. The course wasn’t too expensive, so I bought it without any delay…

I Love to Draw
I love drawing since I was a child, but I was not very good. As I was growing up, I believed that only people with talent could draw.
Then as an adult, and due to the stresses of daily life, I read books about drawing which taught me how to draw “what you see”; some books were better than others. Then I found one that explained that drawing was a skill that I could learn…

The joy of drawing can drive my out of bed at 5 in the morning
I have been drawing every day for more than 6 months, and it fills me with so much happiness that it can drive me out of bed at 5 a.m.
Before I joined the Drawing Academy, I was mainly drawing from drawing books and from YouTube tutorials. Practicing with the Drawing Academy on a daily basis has given me thorough basic skills and knowledge, and I look forward to starting all over again with some of the drawing lessons and compare new drawings with my first attempts in order to evaluate my skills. I will certainly also consider other lessons from the Drawing Academy and would highly appreciate a course on the use of pastels…

Here’s what Frans, Drawing Academy graduate says:
“Before enrolling in the Drawing Academy, I took the Web Art Academy course.
Then I decided to take the drawing course to improve my drawing skills, knowledge in human anatomy, learn proficient tonal rendering techniques, etc.
The quality of the Drawing Academy lessons exceeded my expectations. Numerous videos and books on how to draw portraits and figures, drawing in perspective, silver-point drawing techniques and so on were very helpful…
