How to get good drawing skills fast

With 1 Comment

Question from Vlad Baloc

I am currently practicing for a entrance exam at a design school.

The exam consists of the following:
-three 15-minute sketches of a human model (on 3 different A3 papers)
-three 15-minute sketches of objects, four 20-minutes sketches of objects and 1 insect from memory
-two 1-hour color drawings of a given idea (Last year it was rock and jazz music)
-Two days later comes a 6-hour project sketch and a interview with a map presentation a day after that.

The exam is in September and I feel that my art is not improving fast enough to pass.

My question is, do you think your course can help me with this exam? I ask since I am unsure of exactly where to commit my time. My art tutor is only telling me that I have to draw eight hours a day, and at this point it is impossible for me. I do my best to draw six hours a day.

Thank you, I am looking forward to your response!

Feedback from Vladimir London and Natalie Richy
Drawing Academy Tutors

Hi Vlad,

Many thanks for your email and questions.

The Drawing Academy course gives more than some Western contemporary art colleges deliver during four years time.

Yes, the information in the course will be useful for you to improve your drawing skills.

We don’t know how skillful your art tutor is, but just practicing without proper instructions will not get you far.

If you draw 100 portrait sketches without the knowledge of how to draw a head, you would have a collection of portraits with a repetition of the same drawing mistakes.

However, if you do just one portrait thoughtfully with full understanding of human head anatomy, and its proportions using constructive drawing principles, you would have a much better result in term of learning proper drawing skills.

For legal reasons, we cannot promise that the Drawing Academy course will help you to pass exams in September. The course is just a course. There is only one person is responsible for learning good drawing skills – yourself. So, you need to take the full responsibility and get the best information from the drawing course and learn how to use it.

Kind regards,
