Hi everyone, my name is Felipe Wolff, I'm from Chile. I draw since I remember, but I never studied art. Now I'm taking the Drawing Academy course and already see improvements in my drawing skills. This course gives a new point of view, and new art skills...

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.

On this course however, we are taught not to smudge graphite, but instead use hatching and cross-hatching techniques when using pencil, which I have tried. Although some of my earlier drawings of simple basic objects were reasonably successful...
