In the Correspondence Course, in addition to all the benefits of the Online Course, you will also get dedicated art tutors for a lifetime who will personally teach you life drawing skills, task by task, for as long as you need it to achieve your drawing education goals.
How do I register for a course?
Simply decide what course you would like to enroll in, and after you make an online payment, you will be redirected to the Life Drawing Academy account setup page. Upon registering for a membership account, you will get immediate and full access to all Life Drawing Academy video lessons and educational materials and can start watching videos right away.
Correspondence Course students will also receive instructions from the academy tutors, advising what to do, step by step, for your drawing skills to be assessed and an individual curriculum created.
How do I upgrade or downgrade between courses?
Life Drawing Academy Online Course students can upgrade for a one-time discounted payment to the full Correspondence Course membership at any time.
Because personal tutoring is a service, and as such it cannot be returned, downgrading from the Correspondence Course to the Online Course is possible but not refundable.
Are there any membership limitations?
As a Life Drawing Academy student, you will have a lifetime membership and unlimited personal support from the Academy tutors. "Lifetime" refers to the life span of the Life Drawing Academy website.
There are no deadlines, no limits, no time pressure.
You can study at your own pace and watch video lessons as many times as you want.
How do I publish artworks in the Students Gallery?
You can submit your artworks online. Every artwork will be reviewed by the Support Team, which will notify the student via email when an artwork is published.
How do I submit my artworks and assignments for critique?
Simply submit your artworks online. Usually, every submission is answered within 48 hours.
Please note, by sending your artworks for critique, you give us a permission for your work to be published online with our feedback should we chose to do so.
You will receive a constructive critique from the Academy tutors via email.
How do I get personal support?
If you have any art-related questions or need some drawing advice, you can submit your message online. Most submissions are answered by email within forty-eight hours.
Such support is unlimited, includes artwork critiques and assignment assessments, comes at no extra charge, and is provided for a lifetime.
How do I get personal tutoring?
As a Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course student, you will have a dedicated team of art tutors.
All correspondence between you and the tutors will be in writing via email, so you will never lose what they said and what advice they provided.
Having all communication in writing helps us to keep track of your creative progress and enables every tutor to stay in the loop in terms of the drawing tasks and instructions you were given and the progress you reported.
Personal tutoring is focused on your drawing education goals and depends on the ongoing assessment of your drawing skills. You will have a custom-tailored curriculum of up to 100 drawing tasks that you will have to do, one by one, according to instructions from the tutors and under their guidance.
Such personal tutoring is unlimited and comes for a lifetime for a one-time payment.
How do I cancel my membership?
You can cancel your membership at any time. Simply contact us to notify us of your decision.
Upon cancellation, your membership account will be deleted, and you will lose access to educational materials and services.
Membership cancellation does not, however, result in a refund.

You can re-enroll at any time. Simply purchase the art course of your choice and create a new Life Drawing Academy account.
Please note, the course prices may go up in the future, and we cannot guarantee the current low fees next time you decide to re-enroll.
How do I get a Life Drawing Academy Diploma?
