Hi, my name is Anton. Im a 20 years old self taught artist. Art is very important in my life, not only you could draw from imagination but also is an experience, an expression of your most sincere self.

Also, The great thing about art is that there is no end goal. It’s not like a video game you play through or an education where you eventually get a paper and call it done.

It’s a life long journey of never-ending wonder.There are always new things waiting to be discovered, new things to learn, new avenues for your creativity.

I’ve been drawing since i was a kid and some people would praise me for good art except my family never encouraged that as a career path, so unfortunately my skills didn’t develop too much.

That said, I love drawing, I love painting, and I want the opportunity to take all the dozens upon dozens of ideas I have in my head, put into the world for others to enjoy.

Moreover, I want to continue to grow, and improve, and experiment with new things, and see what my limits are as an artist, as I currently feel I’m simply not given the opportunity to fully tap into and develop my potential.

I stopped drawing two years ago, school and extracurricular activities started to get more demanding and I just lost focus from it. Also, i give up on my dream being an artist because i don’t have a clear direction.

Lately, i discovered old master works and that topics really make me interested again as an artist.

I was really excited to start practicing and was happy to start quickly improving on old masters academy because i think its the most comprehensive old master course in the internet right now.
