PICTURES TO DRAW PROFESSIONAL
When a traditional professional piece of art is photographed, this photo still gives an idea of the true representation of the artist’s feelings, thoughts, and beliefs, his or her personal artistic style, art school, art movement, and so on. I will illustrate this statement with a simple example. The paradox is: the more accurate a copy is drawn, the less valuable as an object of art it becomes.

Hyper-realistic copies from photos might look impressive in real life due to the fact that they are not photographs, but hand-drawn pieces. I’m sure the results are gratifying to them and many viewers find those drawings quite pleasing.Īt the same time, there are many people, including professional fine artists with solid traditional art education, who do not support the idea of drawing from photos. Such dedication required a great deal of patience, attention to detail, thoroughness and other skills. I have to give credit to those craftsmen and crafts-ladies that painstakingly copied photos onto drawing paper. And there is a reason why they look like photos they’ve been hand-copied from photographs. Such drawings in graphite pencil can appear as realistic as black-and-white photos. I am sure you’ve seen on the Internet intricately done drawings in hyper-realistic style. I also have an art teacher degree, which makes me qualified to talk on the subject of “How to learn drawing.” Do you find drawings from photos appealing? It includes intense learning of drawing, painting, sculpture, composition, and history of art. My fine art education spans over 15 years.

PICTURES TO DRAW HOW TO
My name is Vladimir London and I am passionate about teaching art students how to draw using traditional drawing skills that have been developing since the time of the Old Masters. So, please feel free to give your feedback and post your comments below on this page. I cover this topic in depth and raise questions you might want to discuss. To answer these questions, and help you to decide whether to draw from photos or from life, I created this presentation. Many want to know “is it good to draw from photos”, “does Drawing Academy course have lessons on how to draw from photos”, “does the Drawing Course provides photos to draw from” and so on. Some of the questions fall to the same category. As the Drawing Academy founder and tutor, I get many questions from Academy students and subscribers.
