Drawing after Leonardo da Vinci
Copy by Zora, Drawing Academy student

As a Drawing Academy student, you can exhibit your artworks in this online gallery.
We want to see your drawings before, during and after the Drawing Academy Course.


This portrait was quite challenging, especially falling shadows on the face, curls and the background. However, previous lessons from the Drawing Academy lesson plan gave me such confidence that I was not in doubt at any moment in the process about being capable of completing this step. With the support and gentle guidance of Drawing academy video lessons as well as discipline, perseverance and attention to detail from my part it seems as if everything is possible. Discipline in completing this task taught me, too, how not to give into comfort also in other fields of life.

Here is my drawing of the hero Meleager. Previously I made drawings of parts of the face, lips and nose, ears, eyes, head, following Drawing Academy lessons.
Now I finally got through both the Drawing Academy and the Anatomy Master Class courses. It took me a while. I understand that I have a long way to go to master the art of drawing; however, I have developed a habit to practice a little every day and, from where I see it, I have learned a lot.

Dear Drawing Academy Instructor and Student colleagues:
I have been a student of the Drawing Academy and the Web Art Academy for some years already and more recently I signed up for Old Masters Academy.
I value a lot the programs offered for a very simple reason: I can learn in my own time and at a pace that I can control, and I appreciate having this a kind of flexibility.
