What if I have no talent whatsoever?
Nonsense, every person is talented, even you! Because talent isn't something magical; it's the willingness to pursue the creative activity that you enjoy without giving up.

Our friendly and professional lecturers
Anna A
Drawing, watercolour, scenography and calligraphy – all of these are Anna’s domain. After her classical drawing drill, she has decided to focus on watercolour and scenography. Currently after finishing her FAMU degree, Anna’s art is mainly connected to cinema and she is inseparable part of many movie productions. Anna is simply adorable. She is fun, easy going, supportive lecturer who takes great pleasure in sharing knowledge with others. She is perfectly prepared for each lesson and does her best to cover maximum materials above and beyond the program. She teaches drawing, watercolour and calligraphy.

We hardly know any material that Stan does not work with very well. He is exceptional with acrylics, markers, sprays, airbrush, drawing and everything else. To top all that, he is always getting better - he sketches, draws, comes up with storyboards and creates comics all the time. His exceptional charisma and a lot of knowledge in the field make him an incredible lecturer. At Draw Place he is in charge of comics, fashion illustration, sketching and illustration.
