Artwork and story by Ray Grace, Drawing Academy Graduate Thanks for setting me straight (In the Round). Having drawn and painted from childhood, I have always loved artwork, however like many young people, I opted… Thanks for setting me straight (In-the-Round)
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…
He was a great person. I love to draw people who make the history …
I love to draw very much. Here’s one of my latest artworks…
Drawing in Charcoal by Ronnie Rayner Larter
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…
With the recent article published about Leonardo da Vinci, one of my heroes, I felt impressed to share this drawing I did of Leonardo’s self-portrait. I know in some quarters copying is frowned on, but personally I feel it has advantages. It can help us learn about rendering and techniques when we copy the master’s work…
I am very grateful to all who supported me and left so warm comments on my page:

I was quite pretty good at drawing when I was young, and received lots of compliments. But for a long time I’ve always known I needed to learn more and there was something missing in my drawing.
I have searched around and enrolled for quite a handful of fine arts courses, and even live model drawing and hands-on art classes. Then I found Drawing Academy. I’ve learned a great deal from Drawing Academy which I haven’t learnt any where else, or have learnt but incomplete.
The Golden Proportions, 3 points perspective, ariel perspective, detailed anatomy, body masses and structures, as well as thorough techniques walking me through every modelling drawing, are what I found very helpful, knowledgable and practical…
This drawing was done using the Charles Bargue sight-sizing method in graphite pencil and white chalk on pastel painted paper.
I began to study the Bargue method about three years ago and it seems to be an excellent way of learning to draw; first from the flat then from 3-D objects. However, using the Bargue measuring method can become a hindrance that could prevent an artist from developing fluency in drawing, thereby losing that emotional quality…
