Grand Kida are Great
Artwork by Leonard, Drawing Academy student
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.
Well here it is almost 3 months and this is what I have achieved so fare. and I am sure that if I keep applying the fundamentals that are taught here I will become a fine artist. My wife and kids tell me that I should and need to keep going.
