Hello, I am Ibanga Emem, a 19-year old artist from Nigeria. I started drawing at age 7 (if not younger), and I took it for a hobby (most of us did that as little children). I left medical school to study art because I don’t just love to draw, but I paint, and I write. I would love it, if I am granted the Drawing Academy membership because I want to improve in shading tones, anatomy and perspective. This will help my imaginations come to life.

The first time I saw the Drawing Academy website, I thought I should save some money to apply but I didn’t have enough and I kept wishing I could be an online student.

I loved their demo videos. If their demo videos are that good, then an online training would sure help anyone who really loves art. I have read their article and letters from their students, and seen great improvement. I would want to improve too.

The drawing academy, from what I have seen will help me understand how the old masters draw and paint. They will teach me the basics which would help my skill.

Please vote for me because I think its awesome to be a girl and a good artist. I don’t just want this to be a hobby anymore but I would like to study art and help with funds. When I get better, critics will realize that art is not just for boys alone and not for poor or lazy people. Africa is a place where art is disregarded, yet artists are coming up everyday. I hope to share what i learn with those who may need it and always refer them to the drawing academy. Your votes count!!

    Emem is a young girl that has special interest, zealous and talented in art. I have had the opportunity of going through her drawing album and was quite amazed with what I saw, so beautiful. She is committed to her work and can spend her last kobo to produce a drawing. It is my candid interest to recommend her for the award as with her talent, zeal and commitment, she will make art world proud.
