Silver Drawing Academy is driven by the goal of helping you improve your drawing ability through live instruction located in Sun Valley, California. Additionally, it will teach the business of art, what it takes to become an independent artist in this exciting emerging market, how to take control of your career to create your own path, how to develop the skills and mindset to communicate with clients, and what it takes to work in a studio environment. Basically, everything you need to IGNITE YOUR PASSION!

An affordable solution to learning your craft. 

Silver Drawing Academy was founded by Stephen Silver, a character designer in the animation industry for almost twenty years designing shows such as Disney’s Kim Possible, Nickelodeon’s Danny Phantom, and many more. Stephen has seven published books on character design, sketching, and life drawing. He has been teaching artists for over fifteen years in classes both live and online, as well as lecturing and providing professional workshops for studios such as Hasbro, Nickelodeon, Insomniac Games, Powerhouse Animation, as well as many art schools and colleges around the world.

I wanted to create a hands-on, live artistic community that inspires you to create while amongst fellow artists.

Learning art is not just about step-by-step tutorials. It is about inner feelings, hands-on experience, and a human connection. It is about questioning, exploring, and experimenting. I’ve created a place where you can learn from an instructor while being inspired by your new friends. Learning art should be an immersive experience. It is for this purpose I started the Silver Drawing Academy.

Over the years I have seen the disappointment many students have felt about their artistic abilities after having attended a four-year school. They have expressed to me their frustrations for having paid excessive amounts of money without receiving the knowledge they should have received. Having viewed thousands of portfolios from graduating students, I have seen many artists lacking the professionalism and skills required to have a fulfilling art career.
