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.

Many thanks to all participants of the Drawing Academy Survey.

Here’s what Aura says: …
It’s an amazing story about Repin Academic Institute of Fine Arts (former Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts). It was founded in the 18th century and back then French, Italian and German teachers were coming there to teach art. Foreigners don’t teach in this Academy anymore, they study instead.

When I left school I continued to draw and paint, experimenting with many different media from pencil, ink, pastels, and paint… The Drawing Academy is an excellent place to learn about how the master’s draw and paint using techniques that are rarely taught in art school today.” A.R. //drawingacademy.com/drawing-by-a-r “I love drawing very much. I’m drawing when I have free time in my notebooks and everywhere I can. I want to bring my drawing skills on a new level. I want to learn how to draw what is on my mind, to learn techniques of drawing, shading methods, how to draw…
I signed up for the Drawing Academy about 2 weeks ago I guess. I started drawing about 6 months ago and it was about then or a little bit later I ran across the video by Vladimir London – the 12 Most Essential Skills Every Artist Must Have. Then a bit later I watched the 12 Drawing Mistakes to Avoid.
I have to say to Vladimir that his words back then inspired me so much because I could sense his passion and somehow I knew that what He was saying and offering at the Drawing Academy was exactly what I longed for…

Here is what Pablo says:
Since I was a child the drawing came first, I loved to draw in my notebooks. As I grew, critiques of my art made me feel like if I wasn’t good at it. So I quit drawing, and began practicing music.
After 8 years of abstinence of making drawings, I really wanted to draw again. One of my teachers in the class of Musical appreciation said: “When you study art, music, painting, dance, acting, you must not get married to the art you are doing, you must enroll in other arts because in that way, you can learn so many new things to complement your studies and become a better artist.” …
