Self Portrait

I love to draw! My name is Max Shumsky and I live in Florida. I started to draw when I was a small child. I attended number of art schools in St. Petersburg Russia where I was born and raised, and got a Degree in restoration of stone works. I live in USA since 1990. Through the fatherhood, I started teaching children to draw. I teach the basics of drawing and painting. My lessons help to develop children's imagination, curiosity and help to succeed in other areas of education. In my classes I use different types of medium. Children learn basics of understanding proportions, perspective, colors, ability to notice and see things, pay attention to details and much more... Writing books is new to me, but as soon as I started, I fell in love with it! I was doing illustrating for someone else, but I want to do more! My first book "CAVE PROJECT Teach me father how to draw", I was so fired up about it, I finished it in one month. It took longer to learn how to use computer programs to get my book to Amazon! I have a lot more ideas for future books. I think you'll like them, I know I will!
