AMAZING private tutoring at great value

I ve been doing the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course the more expensive but better option for about 8 months This course is beyond anything I expected - you can tell the tutors know what they are doing You get 100 drawing tasks customised to your individual ability My first lesson I had to learn to hold a pencil properly Now I am drawing classical architecture and still life objects and I will be moving onto anatomy and drawing portraits eventually ---How it works The tutors send you an email with your lesson which you do at home step-by-step You send photos videos to show your completed drawing Then the tutors my tutor is Vladimir London critique the drawing and give feedback on what you did right wrong and how to improve You keep improving getting feedback until you have mastered a certain skill 2-point perspective for example and then you are given the next lesson Everything is given in an order which makes sense gradually getting more complex as you acquire basic skills I love that Vladimir actually tells me what is wrong with my drawing and how to fix it instead of sugar-coating it like most people My family friends are really impressed at my drawings already even though I have just started learning I was a bit worried about it being an online course since theoretically it might be difficult to learn art over the Internet But it is actually fine because you can send them videos visually asking any questions you have The academy tutors respond with detailed feedback via email Vladimir London has made custom YouTube videos for me a few times where he visually answers specific questions I have You can find their YouTube channel it s called Drawing Art Academy ----What is studying at this academy like To make progress here you will need grit and persistence The tutors trained in traditional Russian art academies for many years so standards are high They teach you step-by-step but you have to put in the sustained effort However the rewards are endless - to be able to draw anything you want from life or imagination is AMAZING This isn t just another art course - it s the real deal for anyone who wants to learn time-honoured TANGIBLE drawing skills You will find none of the just express yourself crap that most art colleges teach nowadays I went to art college for 2 years and have already learnt way more drawing skills from doing this course The education here is rigorous requiring patience dedication This is a very good thing but I d recommend that you make your experience as holistic as you can When I m finished working I read art books for fun go to galleries sketch my surroundings chat with other artists etc - food for the soul inspiring you to keep learning I spend the majority of my day doing the Life Drawing Academy correspondence course assignments My goal is to become a professional artist so I take my work seriously I don t work super long hours but I consistently put in time to develop my drawing skills 6 days a week ---In Summary INSANE VALUE FOR MONEY - literally a one-time price for unlimited private tutoring You learn SO much I don t know any other online courses that are at this standard for such good pricing The course will require patience and practice if you want to succeed It is not a quick fix there are no shortcuts to true mastery of art It is a genuine path to learning to draw The tutoring is highly professional and practical and you will learn master artists secrets to drawing realistically So if you want to learn to actually draw and are willing to put in the effort this course is definitely for you With the tutors there to answer any questions and the step-by-step instructions I feel totally supported to reach my goal of being a portrait and figurative artist
