Artworks by Sudha Jagirdar, Drawing Academy graduate

I always wanted to learn art, however finding a right course wasn’t easy. When I saw the Drawing Academy course few months ago, I recognized its potential and enrolled straight away. I was just a beginner at that time.

In the Drawing Academy, I have learned many aspects of traditional drawing such as perspective, human anatomy, constructive drawing, rendering tonal values and so on.

The direct benefit of this new knowledge is that I feel confident in drawing portraits from life and imagination. This also has helped me in portraying real life through my art which ultimately leads to a higher knowledge of life and education. I have a dream of exhibiting my art in the in the near future…

A country which over the centuries has been plagued by many conquerors occasionally but with boundless passion and adoration from the people to their homeland…

This is my best portrait so far and I wanted to share it with you…

I’m taking a great pleasure in managing my very first silverpoint! which unfortunately is not very easy material to find in the US, but I did find it.

I prepared a heavy paper pretty much according to instructions in the Drawing Academy video, except I did not have gum Arabic and used powdered plaster of Paris as a ground. I sanded the first coat with sandpaper and applied a second one, sanded again to smooth out. Then I transferred the contour of a Great Master drawing to the surface and started experimenting with the metal point…

I have been drawing on and off for years. I like to paint but the Drawing Academy is correct. You must draw before you can paint well. The masters had the right idea. While I like modern art, you have to master drawing to be considered a true artist. My hope is to achieve some level of proficiency so I can draw from life and memory…
