Anthony,

Thank you for your artworks.

I want to help you. I checked your Art Centre website. It is full of such phrases as "inspiring environment", "cultural diversity", "unleash your creativity", "emphasis on shapes", "observational studies". They all boil down to one meaning: express yourself by copying what you see, no construction drawing skills necessary.

The intermediate program further teaches "Atmosphere studies", which is a very basic concept of the aerial perspective that must be given to students as early as possible, not in the intermediate program, and "Treatment and variation of edges", which is another basic concept of the same perspective type; while the advanced course gives "New approaches to drawing" and "Adaptation of techniques", which means: now you know it all, express yourself in different media.

Drawing is the foundation of visual arts. Unfortunately, what you've learned is "observational drawing", not constructive drawing.

If you want to know the difference and self-assess your level of drawing skills, check out this video: https://lifedrawing.academy/life-drawing-academy-news/how-to-self-assess-your-drawing-skills

If you want to learn how to draw professionally whatever you see or imagine, consider taking this course: https://lifedrawing.academy/correspondence-course

Once again, thank you for sharing your artworks.
