I've watched about 35 online video lessons. It starts with the basic info on drawing such as what medium to use and progresses to perspective, shadowing, and technique. I did gain useful knowledge from the lessons and would recommend this site to anyone interested in learning to draw.
I recommend this course to anyone who wants to seriously approach drawing. The site is designed to cover all the important aspects of drawing, both theoretically and practically, and all lessons are clearly and precisely explained.
But I want to emphasize one thing in this course - the possibility of getting comments from qualified people. On all my email with questions and attached drawings, I get responses very quickly, answers that are clear and essential, and at the same time very motivational to continue drawing. For me, as a beginner, this possibility is very significant.
I do believe that this site and its concept is excellent for a gradual and thorough drawing approach, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or improve drawing skills.
This is an awesome course and site. Very professional and provides a lot of valuable information if you want to learn to draw. You would have to spend much more in schools or books to get the same level of help.
I have learned so much from the drawing academy course. I am a lifetime member which gives me the opportunity to get drawing critiques for life for them! Drawing like the masters is no easy accomplishment, but with this site, these teachers and practice, my drawing is improving every day. So happy I signed up for this course!

Fantastic site! Already learned more in this Academy than in 4 years in my art college. I'm now saving money to enroll in the course.
I also entered the Drawing Academy art competition in a hope to win the course, but there are so many other participants; fingers crossed, I might get lucky!
I really want that Academy!
If by any chance you are a student there, please let me know how it goes for you; I'm really jealous:)

I am an intermediate art student and art is my passion. I haven't seen the good course on line of art study since I found Vladimir teach academy drawing on line. They are the lecturers and tutors alike and show their skills of drawings and knowledge through teaching and practical experience. I have been actualized by the marvel of the Academy Classic Drawing and have facilitated my portraiture with human figure drawings and paintings.
Answer: I was very excited to purchase this course but was sorely disappointed. You will learn some stuff in the videos but often times there is not a lot of explanation as to how to do the things that he is drawing. Much is left out. And his style does not very conducive to learning. The dialogue is written out verbatim below each video and I feel like he is simply reading it.
