Lifedrawing Reviews

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

I have been studying with the Life Drawing Academy for some years now I have found them wonderful for a number of reasons Firstly I can study at my own pace and own place important as I work fulltime Secondly the Life Drawing Academy course was tailor made for my needs and took me step by step through the basics of drawing from types of lines to drawing solids and then elliptical curves Hatching and rendering are covered in detail Drawing using a dip pen and ink are also covered The course at the Life Drawing Academy gave me a great foundation and built up my drawing skills with tasks such as still life of manmade objects on to those with organic objects and the drawing of interiors and the environment around me All the time the tutors were there to support and encourage Just an email away was advice and guidance My drawing skills have developed more than I could have imagined thanks to the wonderful course at the Life Drawing Academy

I thank very much the Life Drawing Academy correspondence course for their art education This is the best art education I have received in my entire life I have been their student for 14 months and I feel my drawing skills have already improved significantly one step closer to the Russian academic drawings you find online Although I have a MFA degree in the United States and experience in realistic drawing and painting at ateliers I decided to start the course from scratch like How to hold a pencil Basic assignments of the course help me to fill in the missing part of my drawing knowledge and skills They are not less important than advanced figurative drawing but are essential in any type of realistic drawing I am hoping I will finish the basic tasks successfully in the not-so-far future and move onto the portraits and figure my most interested area This is a serious correspondence drawing course but not a course for fun All you need is dedication consistency and patience

I enrolled in Lifedrawing academy in July 2022 I was in search of some professional guidance tutoring and Lifedrawing academy Vladimir London was the best fit Following are the highlights of this academy 1 Curriculum- extremely in depth each task provided me with knowledge I couldn t have found on YouTube in books It is very similar to some of the best classical art academies I have visited ex Florence classical art academy with an added advantage that it is personally tailored to student s level It is also very beginner friendly and gradually progresses to ensure that there is no knowledge gap 2 Some of the techniques features are exclusive to invented by the tutors of Lifedrawing academy themselves 3 Very reasonable pricing- not only do they provide all the knowledge step by step at a great price but also provide with templates of paper models in case one doesn t have access to live actual models for example the skull or ionic capital During my journey I never stumbled upon any significant obstacle and could learn easily from my home I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to make some serious progress in Lifedrawing totally worth it
