How Drawpj.com Instructors Comment On Your Work: Using a Wacom Bamboo Fun
Student artwork commented upon using Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen
If you’re new to Drawpj.com you may be wondering how our instructors are able to sketch and comment upon the electronic images of your artworks. Our instructors use a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch along with a photo-editing software program such as Photoshop Elements.
The Fun Pen works just like an ordinary pencil which enables the transition from eye to mind then hand to flow naturally and intuitively. This process enables our instructors to concentrate on what they do best; providing you with valuable one-to-one advice and helping you to dramatically improve your drawing and painting skills.
Wacom have kindly agreed to become our major sponsor of the Drawpj.com Annual Online Art Competition 2011 and have donated a wonderful brand new Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch to the first prize winner of the beginner level. Thankyou so much Wacom!

How to know when an artwork is finished
Over the years many course participants have asked us a question that goes like this…
“How do I know when my drawing/painting is finished?”
This is a good question!
Coming to the end of an artwork can almost be as scary as starting at the beginning. There’s always the fear that you could spoil or overwork the drawing or painting, and have to start all over again, or that you’ll never be able to figure out what’s not right.
Thankfully, as you become more and more experienced as an artist with well honed skills in your kit bag, that ‘knowing when to stop’ feeling gets easier.
Just don’t know when to stop working on your artwork? Read on…
Your Natural Gifts for Drawing Revealed
Did you know that the average healthy person is on a daily basis already using the skills needed for drawing realistically?
The exciting thing about learning to draw is that you already possess natural gifts that you can combine to form the whole skill needed for drawing. You probably haven’t even thought of them as gifts before, but they are at the foundation of your ability to draw.
The most wonderful thing is that you don’t have to learn anything new, you just have to be shown how to combine these natural gifts in the unique way necessary for drawing, and, by using some drawing methods handed down to us from the great master artists the whole process becomes easier to learn in a shorter period of time.
