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.
I just enrolled in the Drawing Academy a few days ago, and I am already glad that I did. I have been drawing for most of my life, but I was quite amazed at the concepts and skills I have been learning here which are almost entirely new to me. I have read a little about the hatching and crosshatching techniques in years gone by, but I never actually employed them much in my own works.
I have made a portrait with graphite pencil and I drew it from a live model. It was my first time drawing a portrait of someone from life except for myself from mirrors.
The skulls of the animals are a fascinating drawing subject.
Artworks by Yvonne, Drawing Academy student
After looking at the Drawing Academy course videos on drawing the Belvedere Torso I enthusiastically set to work on my own sketches of an Apollo bust and Venus statue.

I heard a theory that it takes about 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill. So in the autumn of 2019 I promised myself to sketch every day, hoping to improve on my just-above-average drawing ability.
I want to be able to produce artworks exactly as I envision them and not remain bound to copying photographs, trying to obtain the realism I’m looking for.
