My Story started back in 1976. I took art in Junior High and High School. I learned the basics and that was about it. I continued to draw until about 1981/1982 when i was in the Military. I served 21 years and retired in 2000.
In early 2014 I felt this longing to draw again so I went a bought an art pad and some pencils and started to draw and realized that I really sucked at it. I almost gave up.
My loving wife if 30 years told me to keep at it and I would get better. I searched the web for drawing lessons. I found many that were for computer aided drawings. So I found videos on YouTube I watched and applied what I was learning. Then I came crossed the Drawing Academy and thought I would give it a try…

I thought this would be a very interesting and challenging drawing to copy and it was. My drawing is in pure graphite while the original is (I think) in sanguine and perhaps charcoal…

I’m a software engineer, with interest in sketching, painting, music and photography, which brings joy in my life.
I had very basic drawing skills before enrolling in the Drawing Academy. I had very limited information on fundamental concepts of constructive drawing, rendering, perspective, and fore shortening.
In this course, I learned hatching techniques, linear perspective rules, face and body proportions. I haven’t seen such teaching style before. It is easy to learn in the Drawing Academy, starting from basic topics to more advanced levels. I’m very happy that on short period of time I learned so much about drawing techniques…
